Creating Your Own One-Click Presets in Camera Raw
Now that we created split tones and duotones, this is the perfect time to start making your
own one-click presets. That way, the next time you open a photo that you want to have that
same effect, you don't have to go through all those steps (converting it to black and white,
tweaking it, then applying the Split Toning settings), you can just click one button and all
thosesettingsareappliedatonce,givingyouaninstantone-clickeffectanytime.Ofcourse,
these presets aren't just for split tones and duotones—make one anytime you want to reuse
any settings from Camera Raw.
Step One:
Since we just created that duotone effect in Camera Raw, we'll go ahead and use that to
create a one-click preset there. Just remember—anytime you come up with a look you like,
you can save it as a preset. To create a preset, you click on the Presets icon (it's the second
icon from the right at the top of the Panel area), and then click on the New Preset icon
(shown circled here in red) to bring up the New Preset dialog (seen here). Now, just turn
on the checkboxes for the adjustments you want copied to your preset (as I did here), give
your preset a name, and then click the OK button.
