What are Presets?

Presets are a powerful way to speed up your workflow by applying saved settings to new images with just one click. They bundle together a set of adjustments, such as retouching, color, and AI enhancements, into a reusable format.

If you’re working with large volumes of photos and want consistent, high-quality results, Presets are your ideal tool. They help make editing faster, easier, and more efficient.

Preset Libraries

Evoto offers three preset libraries to help you stay organized and collaborate more effectively:

• Recommended
  These are official presets created and maintained by the Evoto team. We continuously optimize and update them to reflect the latest features and editing trends.
  
• Team
  Working as part of an editing team and need consistency across your projects? The Team preset section allows you to seamlessly share presets across your company, making it easy for everyone to stay aligned and work toward the same creative vision.
  
• My Presets
  This is your personal preset library. You can save your favorite settings here and also import presets from other users by using a Preset Token.

Managing Presets

Organizing and editing your presets is simple and flexible. Evoto gives you full control over how your presets are grouped, arranged, and updated.

Preset Groups

Create Preset Groups to keep your workspace tidy and efficient. These groups allow you to organize different types of presets by style, project, or purpose.

To create a new group:

1. Click the ➕ (Plus) button in the upper right corner of the Preset section.
2. Select Create New Group.
3. Name your group, then either drag existing presets into it or save new presets directly into the group during creation.

You can also rearrange preset groups by dragging them to your preferred order, or nest presets into different groups as your needs evolve.

Drag and Drop Sorting

• Drag individual presets to reorder them within a group.
• Move commonly used presets to the top for quicker access.
• Rearrange entire groups by dragging and dropping them.

Right-Click Options

Right-click any preset to reveal additional management tools:

• Update Preset with Current Settings – Overwrite the preset with the current image’s settings
• Share Preset(s) – Create a shareable token for easy transfer to other accounts
• Rename – Edit the name of the preset
• Delete – Permanently remove the preset

Importing Presets

Click the ➕ (Plus) icon in the Floating Widget to open the Import Preset menu.

You can import:

Importing File Types

• Type 1: .XMP File – Imports as a standard preset under My Presets.
• Type 2: .CUBE or .XMP with LUT- Imports with associated Profile information for advanced color grading.

Automatic Profile Import

If an imported XMP preset requires a specific Profile that is not currently installed, Evoto will:

• Detect the missing profile
• Prompt you to import it
• Automatically apply it to preserve the intended look

This ensures your presets display correctly without unexpected issues.

Once a Preset Token is generated, it remains valid even if the original preset is deleted or updated. The token continues to point to the saved version of the preset, ensuring consistent results for anyone who uses it.
