What are presets in design software?

Created by Admin Situs Desain, Modified on Tue, 8 Apr at 11:50 AM by Vivian Lim

Presets are pre-configured settings that you can save and reuse in design software like Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, or After Effects. They help speed up your workflow by applying a specific look, style, or effect with just one click.

Common types of presets:

  • Photo filters (e.g., in Lightroom): Apply consistent tones and color grading across photos.

  • Text styles: Save font, size, color, and spacing settings to apply to other text quickly.

  • Brush settings: Save brush size, texture, and behavior in digital illustration.

  • Animation settings: Reuse motion effects in tools like After Effects.

Presets save time, ensure design consistency, and are especially useful when working on multiple projects with a similar style.
