Setup Files

 may contain more than one preset. For example, a single file can contain all 

the presets for a session. When you open a Setup File, all its setups become part of 

your Load pop-up menu for fast access. This can be particularly useful with multiple 

instances of a plugin in a single session. By saving all the settings you create into a 

single Setup File, they can all be quickly available for every instance of that plugin.  

 

Loading Presets and Setups 

 

Click

 on the Load button to see the Load pop-up menu. The menu is divided into four 

sections. If a section is not currently available it will not appear in the Load pop-up menu. 

 

Open Preset File…

  Select to open any setup or preset file, whether from the Library or 

your own creations. 

‘Filename.xps’: 

Displays any currently loaded Setup File and its presets. 

Factory Presets:

 

Displays the default Factory Presets. 

User Presets:

 

Displays any loaded User Presets. 

 

Saving Presets and Setups 

 

Click

 on the Save button to see the Save pop-up menu. Four options are available. If an 

option is not currently available it will be grayed out and inaccessible. 

 

Save to New File…

 

Select this to start a new Setup file. There are two 

prompts - first for the setup filename, then for the 

preset name. You must provide a name for both the 

setup file and the preset. Click OK (ENTER) to 

complete the save. It is a good idea to create a 

folder in which to save several setup files for a 

project. 

Save ‘File Name’ – “Preset Name” 

Overwrites the settings of the loaded preset 

(whether a User Preset or a preset from a Setup 

File) with the current settings. If a Setup File is
