If you’re like most people, you probably use Photoshop to edit photos and create graphics. But did you know that you can use presets to speed up your workflow? In this article, we’ll show you how to use presets and save time on your next project. First, let’s talk about what a preset is. A preset is a set of instructions that Photoshop uses to automatically apply certain settings to a photo or document. For example, you might have a preset that sets the brightness and contrast levels for all photos in a folder. To use a preset, open Photoshop and select the file or folder containing the photos or documents you want to edit. Then click the “Presets” button (it looks like three circles stacked on top of each other) in the toolbar at the bottom of the window. The “Presets” dialog box will open. At the top of this dialog box, you’ll see a list of folders containing presets. You can also search for presets by name or category (like “Images”). Clicking one of the folders will display all the presets in that folder. To apply a preset to your photo or document, click on the name of the preset in the list and then click on one of the buttons at the bottom of the dialog box: “Auto,” “Brightness & Contrast,” or “HDR.” (Note: Some presets only have one button; others have several.) Once you’ve applied a preset, Photoshop will automatically apply those settings to all files in your selected folder that have been saved since your last update (or since Photoshop was installed if it’s not currently open). So don’t worry if some files don’t seem to have changed—the settings in your presets are now active! ..
