Step Three:
To actually apply one of these presets ,
all you have to do is click on it. In the
example shown here, I clicked on the
Color preset, Bleach Bypass, which gives
the washed-out desaturated effect you
see here. The nice thing is if you want to
tweak things after the preset has been
applied, you can just grab the sliders in
the Basic panel and go to town!
TIP: Renaming Presets
To rename any preset you created (a user
preset), just Right-click on the preset and
choose
Rename
from the pop-up menu.
Step Four:
For example, here I increased the Clarity
amount to +78 and the Contrast to +44,
but then the colors started to look too
vibrant for the Bleach Bypass effect, so
I lowered the Vibrance to -33. Also, once
you've applied a preset, you can apply
more presets and those changes are added
right on top of your current settings, as
long as the new preset you chose doesn't
use the same settings as the one you just
applied. So, if you applied a preset that set
the Exposure, White Balance, and High-
lights, but didn't use vignetting, if you then
chose a preset that just uses vignetting, it
adds this on top of your current preset.
Otherwise, if the new preset uses Exposure,
White Balance, or Highlights, it just moves
those sliders to new settings, so it might
cancel the look of the original preset. For
example, after I applied the Bleach Bypass
preset, and tweaked the settings I men-
tioned above, I went to the Effect Presets
collection and applied the preset called
“Vignette 1” (as shown here) to add a dark
edge effect. The Bleach Bypass didn't have
a vignette, so it added it on top.
