Problem
When editing images and throughout Visere Captura, I'm getting confused about the difference of behavior of the buttons: OK, Apply, Reset, and Restore.

Actions apply to the selected thumbnail image. Here is a brief description of each button: • OK
Filter results are automatically previewed, in most cases, but the filters are not applied to the thumbnail image until OK or Apply is pressed. |

For most filters, Visere Captura automatically previews the filter effect on the thumbnail image. For example, when adjusting the Brightness filter, the following occurs:
While this might seem unusual, it is consistent with the intended functionality of the Apply button. To avoid this behavior, simply click the OK button instead of Apply. |
Detailed Explanation
To make Visere Captura an efficient image editor, most imaging filters are automatically previewed as the filter parameters are adjusted. For filters that do not automatically preview, such as AIBR, a Preview button is provided to view the filter preview results:
...
- Select Levels or Curves. These are two standard methods for manipulating the histogram.
- Sharpness. Applies an unsharp masking.
- Brightness. Applies a histogram adjustment.
- Contrast. Histogram adjustment.
- Hue and Saturation.
- Temperature adjustment based on pixel selection.
- Tint adjustment.
OK, Apply, Reset, Restore, and RestorePreview
With the an understanding of all the available editing tools available, here is how the OK, Apply, Reset, and Restore buttons work:

- 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.
AdditionallyIn addition to the OK, Apply, Reset, and Restore, each filter has a Profile option (listed to the right of the screen). Clicking the plus sign next to the profile saves the particular current filter settings to a file, which can be recalled later. This is how feature allows you to save a Watermark filter can be saved, to be recalled later during the , for example, and recall it during batch or dynamic saving.
