Pastel Effect Presets

When moving a cursor over an AKVIS preset in the drop-down list, the quick result appears in the small window near the list.

To create a preset, adjust the settings, type a name for the preset into the field, and press Save.

To delete a preset, choose it from the drop-down list and press Delete.

The AKVIS built-in presets cannot be removed.
