Save and apply local adjustment presets in Camera Raw

You can save local adjustments as presets so that you can quickly apply the effects to other images. You create, select, and manage local adjustment presets using the Local Adjustment Settings menu  in the Adjustment Brush or Graduated Filter tool options. You apply local adjustment presets using the Adjustment Brush tool  or the Graduated Filter tool .

Note: Local adjustments cannot be saved with Camera Raw image presets, which contain global adjustments. Local adjustments cannot be copied and pasted between images, either.
 In the Adjustment Brush or Graduated Filter tool options in the Camera Raw dialog box, click the Local Adjustment Settings menu button . Then, choose one of the following commands:
New Local Correction Setting
Saves the current local adjustment effect settings as a preset. Type a name and click OK. Saved presets appear in the Local Adjustment Settings menu and can be applied to any image that is opened in Camera Raw.

Delete “preset name”
Deletes the selected local adjustment preset.

Rename “preset name”
Renames the selected local adjustment preset. Type a name and click OK.

“preset name”
Select a preset to apply its settings with the Adjustment Brush tool or the Graduated Filter tool.

When using local adjustment presets, keep in mind the following:

  • Only one local adjustment preset can be selected at a time.

  • When applying a local adjustment preset with the Adjustment Brush tool, you can still customize the brush options, including Size, Feather, Flow, and Density. The preset applies the effect settings at the specified brush size.

  • After a local adjustment preset is applied, you can refine it as desired.

  • The same effect settings are available for the Adjustment Brush tool and the Graduated Filter tool. As a result, local adjustment presets can be applied using either tool, regardless of which tool was used to create the preset.
