Using Presets

Presets record all of the adjustments you make to an image in PhotoTune. This includes all the settings in all of the modes. Presets are useful when you want to apply the same settings to multiple images. Presets can be found in the Presets pane located in the Pro Interface.

Finding Presets
You can find a preset in the preset pane. Presets like inside of categories you create. To open a category, click on the disclosure triangle to the left of the category title. When you mouse over a preset, its settings can be previewed on your image in the Navigator. Also if you linger over a preset, the author and description will be displayed in the tool-tip.

Using a Preset
To use a preset, simply double-click on it. It will adjust all of the image settings to match what was stored in the preset. You can use these presets inside of:
PhotoTune from the Presets Pane
Inside of Photoshop from the onOne Panel or onOne Menu
Inside of Lightroom and Aperture from the PhotoTune dialog
Creating a Preset
Saving a preset is simple. Once you have everything set the way you like, go to the File menu and select Save Preset. You can also press the plus icon located in the bottom of the Preset pane.

The New Preset dialog will appear. There are several fields to complete including the preset name, the category, creator and description.

In the category pull-down you can select which existing category the preset should saved into. You can also create a new category this way by selecting new category from the bottom of the list.

You can edit a preset's name, creator, description or keywords by selecting it and then right-clicking on it and selecting edit preset. If you want to edit the effects in a preset, load it into your stack, make your adjustments and then re-save the preset with the same name and location.
PhotoTune 3 automatically saves presets called Recently Used, which save all the settings you used the last six times you applied.
Deleting a Preset
To delete a preset, just select the preset by single-clicking it, then press the minus icon in the bottom of the preset pane.
