Thanks

With the Adjustment Layer > Curves chosen and adjusted, you may click on the upper right corner of the Properties panel and save the curve as a Preset (and give it a name). In the future, choose the double arrow in the Preset field and your Preset will be near the bottom of the list;

I don't think yu understood me. I have a saved custom curves preset that I use 99% of the time. I'm trying to have that be the default when I add an adjustment layer. I'm trying to save a little bit of time. I shoot for a wire service.

In closing, I made an action which works faster. It even loads and uses the correct preset if I've just opened PS (usually have to load them each rime I run PS).

Thanks

Yes, I also misunderstood too due to the wording…

Not that I am aware of, there is a difference between a default curve and a preset curve… So I would use a keyboard shortcut to run the action when you wish to apply a new curve adjustment layer using this preset.

Hi puffin,

Yes, you can change the default settings of the adjustment curve by going into its properties.

You can access properties from Window > Properties.
