Presets

Presets is a revolutionary companion app for the native iOS and iPadOS Photos application, designed for photographers, influencers, and anyone who loves to edit photos on their Apple devices. It masterfully solves a common frustration: the inability to save and reuse custom editing adjustments within the Photos app. With Presets, you can effortlessly create, store, and manage a personal library of your unique editing styles. Whether it's a subtle color correction, a dramatic black-and-white conversion, or your signature aesthetic, you can apply it to any photo in seconds, ensuring consistency and saving a significant amount of time.

The app is built on a foundation of simplicity and seamless integration. It doesn't replace your favorite editing tools; it enhances them. By working directly with the 'Copy Edits' and 'Paste Edits' functionality of the iOS Photos app, Presets provides a missing link in the mobile editing workflow, making professional-level consistency accessible to everyone.

How to use Presets

The workflow is ingeniously simple and designed to be intuitive for any iOS user. Here’s a step-by-step guide to integrating Presets into your photo editing routine:

1. Edit Your Photo: Open the standard iOS Photos app and edit any picture. Adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, filters, and more until you achieve the perfect look.
2. Copy the Edits: Once you're satisfied, tap the menu icon (three dots) and select 'Copy Edits'. This action copies all the adjustments you've made to your device's clipboard.
3. Save to Presets: Open the Presets app. It will automatically detect the copied edits from your clipboard. Simply tap on the detected edit to save it. You can name it and organize it into a specific collection (e.g., 'Summer Vibes', 'Urban Moody', 'Portraits').
4. Apply to New Photos: To use a saved preset, open the Presets app and select the desired style from your library. This copies it to your clipboard. Then, navigate to the new photo in your Photos app, tap the menu, and select 'Paste Edits'. Your custom style is instantly applied.
