The FX-Panel adds a “Camera Raw Option Buttons” section to every camera raw preset – even your custom camera raw filter. The section is divided in two part: a toggler for the Camera Raw Filter dialog and five buttons for the camera raw options grain, vignette, sharpening, luminance noise reduction and color noise reduction.

Camera Raw filter dialog

If this option is active, Photoshop’s Camera Raw filter dialog will open after you apply the preset to an image. All parameters you have changed or added in the Preset Options will be applied before the dialog opens.

Camera Raw parameter

Grain, vignette, sharpening, luminance noise reduction and color noise reduction are five Camera Raw settings, we give a little bit more attention to. Why? Because sometime you decide that you want to add a vignette, no matter if a Camera Raw Preset has it by default. Or you want to get rid of sharpening for all Custom Raw presets. The FX-Panel also has automatic values for those settings, so no matter how big your image is, the grain will always look the same. To handle all those possibilities, we created five buttons. One for each setting. The buttons have different colors, depending on their state.

• Gray: inactive (only for the current camera raw preset)
• White: active (only for the current camera raw preset)
• Green: globally active (for all current camera raw preset)
• Red: globally inactive (for all current camera raw preset)
• Yellow: automatic values (only for the current camera raw preset)
• Blue: custom values (only for the current camera raw preset)
