> Does anyone know of a way to save presets via automation? Saving presets to disk is generally not the problem, if they are handled by the Presets Manager. Unfortunately, curves aren't and I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it either. Even worse, the Curves data is stored as raw bytes in the ActionDescriptor for the adjustment layer. This leaves two options: 1) When you create a curves layer in the future, have it go through a script that captures the settings and generates the acv file at the same time. You'll have to construct the acv file yourself in your script. 2) Decode the raw bytes in the layer's descriptor and generate the acv file whenever you need it. Neither option is particularly pleasant so hopefully someone else has something figured out. -X
