Hi

The preset option is on my system greyed out when adding a curve as a local adjustment.

Is this by design, seems strange for me.

BTW. After checking the same is the case with white balance and exposure.

  Alain:
  
  That far also my observation: the curves presets can't be copied to the clipboard and then used in a local adjustment.
  
  But it's not that hard to draw a similar shaped curve yourself in the LA taking as example the shapes from the presets.
  
  However, if you want to use a similar LA via curves on several images the only possibility I've found until now is to do this on the first image (w/o further local adjustments possibly specific to an individual image), then copy the LA (yes, the entire LA) to the clipboard, apply it to the target images and edit then on those the mask to make the adjustment happen on the correct part of the image.

  Yes I can try to reproduce the earlier draw curve, I know that. I only seems so absurd, a computer is far better in coppiyng a curve than I redrawing it.
