Now that I’ve made the change to my image, I can save the new settings over the old custom preset – I just click on the icon (circled in red) in the bottom right corner of the preset’s thumbnail. In fact you can click and drag in the image to reposition the effect so that it doesn’t obscure a key element in the picture, for example, or look exactly the same each time. I’ve selected one of my custom presets in the left sidebar (‘Wet plate black and white’) so that I can change the Dirt & Scratches effect in the panel on the right.Īnd here’s an option that you could easily miss – clicking on a Dirt & Scratches effect doesn’t just centre the texture in the image and fix it there. 01 Modify a presetĮven when you save a custom preset, it’s not too late to change it. Along the way I’ll show a couple of tricks I’ve learned that aren’t immediately obvious.Īnalog Efex Pro’s built-in presets are displayed in the Cameras panel in the left sidebar any you create yourself are stored in the Custom panel beneath it. You’ll see I’ve already created some custom presets as they say in the best cookery shows, here are some I made earlier. I’m starting with this everyday still life shot on a digital SLR, with the aim of finding a variety of new analog film ‘looks’. So this time I’m going to take look at how you can quickly build up a collection in your own style, by adapting existing effects and by modifying and duplicating your own. It comes with a selection of preset camera and film effects to reproduce the look of traditional analog photography, but I’ve been spending some time trying them out and using the Analog Efex Pro Camera Kit (see part 2 of this Analog Efex Pro mini-series) to make my own, and I think you can do just as well by designing your Analog Efex Pro custom presets yourself. Analog Efex Pro is one of the plug-ins in the DxO Nik Collection.
