Presets

1 Preset Types

Color Presets, Portrait Presets, and Combined Presets.

• Color: Presets that apply only to the Color Adjustment module.
• Portrait: Presets that apply only to the Portrait Enhancement module.
• Composite: Presets that combine multiple modules (Portrait Enhancement, Color Adjustment, Filters).

Preset Overriding and Stacking

When applying multiple presets of the same type on a single photo (or applying a single-type preset followed by a combined preset), the final effect will be determined by the last preset applied. When applying presets of different types repeatedly, the final effect will be a combination of all presets applied.

Example: If you first apply a portrait-type “Texture Skin” preset, then apply a “Creamy Skin” preset, the effects from the “Texture Skin” preset will be overridden and only the “Creamy Skin” effect will be active. However, if you apply the “Texture Skin” preset followed by a color-type “Film - Blue Ice” preset, the effects of both presets will be stacked and combined.

Batch Apply Effects to Other Photos

Tip Multiple Presets

When applying multiple presets of the same type on a single photo (or applying a single-type preset followed by a combined preset), the final effect will be determined by the last preset applied. When applying presets of different types repeatedly, the final effect will be a combination of all presets applied.

Example: If you first apply a portrait-type “Texture Skin” preset, then apply a “Creamy Skin” preset, the effects from the “Texture Skin” preset will be overridden and only the “Creamy Skin” effect will be active. However, if you apply the “Texture Skin” preset followed by a color-type “Film - Blue Ice” preset, the effects of both presets will be stacked and combined.

Tip Edit

After finishing edits on a single photo, use the shortcut Control + C / Command + C to copy the adjustment settings. Then press Control + A / Command + A to select all photos, and finally use Control + V / Command + V to paste the settings, applying batch retouching.

When copying, you can select which effects to sync in batch, click “Save Settings,” and then use Control + V / Command + V to paste the effects to other photos.

Tip Save

You can also save the edited photo’s effects as a new preset, select all photos, and quickly apply this preset to all.
