In the Neural Filter Photo Restore, keep prior setting such as New, or New Masked rather than imposing Current which default is the DEFAULT with each update.
If possible Please pay attention to the prior versions settings, these settings are what we each think works best for us. For the Neural Filters please allow an option to keep default settings as an option.
As preference files can become corrupted and or may need to be reset, I created an action to restore the default settings that I consider to be important.
Many steps can be recorded as a native action step, while some may require the playback of a script if the native feature isn't recorded.
