You can save your develop settings as a preset to apply the same adjustments to additional images. Presets allow you to quickly apply changes to an image without having to repeat the steps each time you want to apply the same change. For example, if you always correct your images using the Contrast tool with the value of 25 and the Midtones tool with the value of -8, you can save these settings as a preset and quickly apply them to change the contrast and midtones in your images. You can also use presets to ensure that settings are applied consistently in your images. You can create a preset with one or multiple develop settings.
You can apply as many presets as you want to an image. Each time you add a preset, the settings are applied on top of the previous settings.
You can create and access presets by clicking the develop settings button from the following places:
