Setting up Filters

Hello: In a previous post I asked about getting ON1 to start with four Filters appearing under Effects - the ones I use most frequently. I've tried this and set them to zero and saved the four as a preset called Filters (very original!). But this doesn't appear in the list of Presets and isn't really what I want. I just want the four presets to be there when I click on Effects, for any image.

At the moment I can't find the preset, where does one look? What currently happens is that if I go to re edit an image the four Filters appear. But if I try to edit another image the four don't appear and I have to start "Adding Filters."

There seems to be no way to set up ON1 so that it starts with my four desired Filters ready to use. It is tedious to have to find them and "Add Filter" for each image. Being able to click on a preset would help, but, as I say, my preset doesn't appear in the list of presets.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Donald

  You can't make On1 start with filters automatically in place. The best you can do is as I explained, create a filter, and apply it to EACH photo so that when you open it, the filters will already be there.

  Alternatively, just click the preset after opening a photo to add your preset to it BEFORE editing because it will overwrite edits that you already made.

  Name your filter something better than Filter, 'Dons Default' is better. You can find it using the search box at the bottom of the filters list.

  For myself, I created a folder called ~ Rick Presets. Note the ~ it sorts my folder to the top of the list and makes it easy to find.

  As long as you are in the Effects module you can right-click a Preset and choose Insert Preset to add it to whatever edits you've already made.
