2.Click Save As. The Save Preset dialog appears.

3.Enter a new preset name and click OK. The new preset is added to the Preset drop-down list.

Adding a chain of effects

The Plug-In Chainer allows you to create a chain of DirectX® plug-ins. You can preview each plug-in in the chain simultaneously in real time as long as your computer has adequate processing power.

You can switch between the Plug-In Chainer window and data windows without leaving the Plug-In Chainer. This means you can change your selection in the data window or even switch to another data window—all without closing the Plug-In Chainer window.

Because the Plug-In Chainer offers these advanced features, you may want to use the chainer to create a single-effect chain instead of applying an effect from the Effects or DX Favorites menu. For more information, see Adding an effect on page 169.
