4.1.2 Custom Settings or Multiple Presets window
The Custom Settings or Multiple Presets
window is accessed by clicking the Set... button
at the top of the batch processing window�
This window allows you to compile a list of
multiple built-in presets and/or custom settings, to
be applied to a single bracketed image set or to a
batch of bracketed image sets� This feature may be
thought of as "Preset batches"� The presets batch lists
compiled in this window are applied to the image set
batches which are specied in the Source frame of
the main batch window�
Preset batches applied to bracketed sets provides a
wide range of processing options� You may wish in
some instances to work with just a single bracketed
set, and apply a batch of 20 or 30 dierent presets to
it, allowing you to conveniently test which presets
give the most pleasing results for a given image set�
Another strategy is to apply several dierent favorite
presets to multiple image sets� Be aware, while exploring
this tool, that the batch results can become very large�
The More Preprocessing Options... button
provides access to deeper preprocessing
settings.
Click "Set..." to set up preset batches
