OK, Apply, Reset, Restore, and RestorePreview
With an understanding of all the available editing tools, here is how the OK, Apply, Reset, and Restore buttons work:
- Only one filter can be active at a time. If you select a new filter, the previous filter will close.
- Most filters are previewed automatically as you adjust their parameters. If a filter does not preview automatically, it will have a Preview button, as with AIBR.
- Previewing does not apply the filter to the image. The filter is only applied when you click OK or Apply.
- OK: Applies the filter to all selected images, closes the dialog box (if present), and resets the filter settings to their default values.
- Apply: Applies the filter to all selected images, keeps the dialog box open (if present), and retains the current filter settings.
- Reset: Restores the filter parameters and display to their default values without closing the dialog box (if present).
- Restore: Reverts all selected images to their original state as captured by the camera, undoing all edits.
- Preview: When a filter does not apply the filter parameter changes, usually because the filter takes a long time to process, then the filter provides a Preview button that allows you to preview the parameter changes, before applying them.
Additionally, each filter has a Profile option (listed to the right of the screen). Clicking the plus sign next to the profile saves the current filter settings to a file, which can be recalled later. This feature allows you to save a Watermark filter, for example, and recall it during batch or dynamic saving.
