Question

Why not create "Filter Gallery Presets", in order to save us time and effort?

It would be very useful to be able to save settings from the Filter Gallery. We could have several presets of combinations of filters saved. It has been very frustrating to set up several layers of filters with different settings just to lose all that work by activating an action or using a template. Why not allow us to save a given array of filters, each with its own settings, often applying the same filter three or four times, with different settings? In a word, why not enable "filter gallery presets"? It would be a powerful differentiator for Photoshop and would save us enormously the exasperating task of reconstruct a certain set of layers of filters with fine adjustments.

    Why not improve Filter Gallery by making options to save presets to each tool in the gallery, in order to save us time and effort?

      Hi!
      There is so much I await an improvement at Filter Gallery. Wouldn't it be nice to save a particular status or configuration of filters we like to apply? Why not allow users to save multiple settlements from overlapping filters in the gallery? I would really love this extra facility! It seems to me something simple to implement, and this would certainly create a whole new range of possibilities.

        The Filter Gallery hasn't been updated in decades and probably never will be. Like most of the Filter menu, you can consider it to be abandonware. If you want to see what Filter Gallery could have been with a little more dev time, check out Boris Optics.

          We used to be able to save presets in the Camera RAW filter. Michael Ninness did a great video that covered it at MAX in 2013  (It's right at the end of the video - about 1:05:00)

          That was really useful and powerful, but I have lost touch with the changes to Camera RAW and can't see how it would done with the current version.  Anyone know how and if it works nowadays?  Otherwise, Actions are your friend.
