Hi

I have saved a curves adjustment layer as a preset, and I would like to save this as an action, so I can apply it to multiple images. Is this possible to do?

Any ideas / suggestions would be much appreciated.

Paul.

I personally would record the actual curve edits into the action, rather than try to apply a preset using an action, there is no dependency on the preset being available.

However, yes, it is possible for an action to create a curve adjustment layer and then apply an installed curve preset:

Thanks Stephen. The best solution for what i needed was to record an action and manually input the curves data as part of the action, which i think is what you advised above.
