Initial edits will be applied automatically to images as you load them into the ProcessQ. You control these initial edits with the Add Image Preferences:
These preferences may be viewed by clicking the Add Image Preferences… button in the main Preferences window:
They may also be presented to you automatically whenever you add images to the ProcessQ:
If you find that you frequently change these preference settings, it can be helpful to have them automatically displayed, both as a reminder of the current settings, and as a quick way to modify them. If you rarely change them, you will probably want to uncheck this checkbox.
The Color Correction menu establishes how the various color correction settings will be initialized as each new image is added to the ProcessQ.
If you choose SmartColor, then SmartColor will be used to determine unique initial color correction settings based on an analysis of each image. If you select any of the other three options, the same correction settings will be used for each image. If you start with Previous Settings, then the settings for the color correction tools are recalled from the previous image that was corrected. If you start with Custom Settings, then the custom settings that have been loaded with Load Custom Settings are used. If you start with Reset, all color correction tool controls will be set to values that do not change the image (i.e. "null" values).
Similarly, the Sharpen/Noise menu establishes how the sharpening and noise removal settings will be initialized as each new image is added to the ProcessQ.
If you start with Previous Settings, then the sharpen and noise removal settings are recalled from the previous image that was corrected. If you start with Custom Settings, then the custom settings that have been loaded with Load Custom Settings are used. If you start with Reset, sharpening and noise removal will not be applied.
The Load Custom Settings... button is used to load the settings that will be applied when Custom Settings is selected in the Color Correction and/or the Sharpen/Noise menu. These settings are also applie when the Custom buttons in the main EditLab window are clicked.
You will be asked to locate the file that contains the Custom Settings that you want to load.
Custom Settings files are saved using the Save Custom... button in the main EditLab window. Any number of custom settings files can be saved.
Shortcut Tip: In EditLab's main window, you can load custom settings and immediately apply them by holding down the key while clicking the master Custom button. This is equivalent to opening the Preferences window, clicking the Add Image Preferences button, clicking the Load Custom Settings button, selecting a custom settings file, clicking OK to return to the main Preferences window, clicking OK to return to the main EditLab window, and then clicking the master Custom button.
The Restore Defaults button will set all preferences in the window to the factory default values, that is, the values that were present when EditLab was first installed.
The OK button must be clicked in order for the settings in the window to take effect.
