New in Photoshop: create custom Adjustment Layer presets and share them.<\/h2>\n

Adjustment Presets were added to Photoshop recently, but we couldn’t make our own presets until now. They have a lot of advantages over actions and LUTs because we can preview the result before we apply them and we have full control over the settings.<\/p>\n

The video above shows the entire process including how I created the presets and accessed Photographic toning Gradient maps.<\/p>\n

Start with a photo
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Create the look you want using different adjustment layers, blending modes and custom opacity.<\/p>\n

See how we have a stylized color look.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is another variation I created for a different look.\u00a0Lets make a preset, so we can reuse it in a single click.<\/p>\n

Click the bottom adjustment layer, Hold down Shift and Click the top adjustment layer to select them all.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Under adjustments, look for “your presets”<\/p>\n

Click the plus button<\/p>\n

Name your preset and click save<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now it will be added to the list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to export presets<\/h2>\n

Choose a photo and click the preset to apply those settings to the new photo. It’s that easy to use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want to export or share your presets, click the 3 ellipsis next to a preset and choose Export preset, or Export all, to export your entire set. (I will share my set with you, instructions at the end).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To load in Adjustment presets into Photoshop<\/h2>\n

Click the menu at the top right of the Adjustments panel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose Import preset<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will see the preset as a .psap<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It will load into your panel ready for use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have created a custom set of presets used here and I’m happy to give them to you.<\/p>\n

Go to the Photoshop Vault<\/a> and you will find them under the Lightroom\/Camera Raw\/ Photoshop Adjustment presets<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: If you are already a member of the \u00a0CAFE Cup (Our weekly newsletter) I will add a direct link for you to download the new presets<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n
