What you learned

Streamline your editing with custom presets

Presets allow you to save select Edit panel settings so that you can apply the edits to other photos with a single click. Presets can be used for simple improvements or creative transformations. You can even create presets that use adaptive AI masks to apply adjustments to specific areas of an image, like the subject, the background, or the sky. The saved settings in a preset can always be adjusted with the controls in the Edit panel.
