P: Allow Adjustment Presets to skip creating masks

I am referring to the presets tab to the left of the single adjustments. When I use a preset it always adds a mask even with that setting turned off. I have my own presets I use for color correction and I most often do not need a mask when using the presets nor do I need it grouped. It add unnecessary items to the layers panel (masks and groups) and I like to name my layers.

    Hey, ​@jonb49922090. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I’ll clarify this for you. 

    As of now, this is working as intended. Adjustment presets (Custom or defaults) are always created with a mask. I’ll share this with the team for review and set this thread as primary for votes. 


    Thanks!
