  • How do I store favorite effects for easy access?

    Posted by Sean Worsell on April 9, 2009 at 6:28 pm

    I have a lot of effects in my effects menu. But I’m constantly using the basic Levels, Exposure, Hue/Saturation, etc.

    Is there a way to make these effects more readily available, by customizing a menu or adding them to “favorites” or something?

    sort of…

    you can create a preset that uses just one of your favorite effects (or a combination of several if you use them together). save the presets with a prefix like ‘fav-‘ or something (‘fav-levels’ for example).

    then from the effects and preset palette, type ‘fav’ in the filed and you’ll only see the presets with ‘fav’ in them.

    not quite what you are looking for, but it would work…

    Thanks. Creating and saving a preset with most used effects (Levels, Curves, Exposure, Hue/Sat) is the way to go then. You’d think there’d be an easier way…but at least I can add them all in one go, and then just disable them one-by-one. Thanks for the thoughts.
