While in the develop module, if I click on a preset and it applies it to my image, then click on another preset, will it apply the preset to the original image or to the modified one? Thanks for any insight.

TustinMike figment of our collective imaginations  More info | Aug 27, 2012 15:19 | #2 I seem to recall reading in Kelby's LR 2 book that presets are additive,however I don't know if that was correct (or maybe it's different for LR4), because to me it looks like the presets apply to the base image. I'm mainly here for the snacks

You should be able to go back to previous setting. Do not click on Reset(the right side) -you could, but will have to start over again. My Gear: Do you really want to know?

When you're creating a preset, you have the option to select the settings that are included. Many (most, probably) presets are created with ALL available slider settings included, regardless of whether they've been touched or not. With a preset like that, when applied it resets all the sliders that were untouched during its creation to default, essentially wiping out any changes made by a previously applied preset. --Howard

A preset is nothing more than a list of sliders and what value to set them to.Just open one in a text editor and you will see. If the author didnt include a specific slider in the preset it will not be touched. Example preset #1 moves contrast to 75, saturation to -23. Then you try preset #2 and it moved contract to 12. But has no call to adjust saturation... The slider will stay at -23. And this will give you a different effect than you would have if you has clicked on #2 first.
