Fading Effects in Lightroom?? Possible in Version 2.6

[Snook]

Just wondering if there is a way to fade an effect done in Lightroom.
For example if I apply a preset then want to back it off slightly, How do I fade it out a little.
Thanks for any help.
I saw on Kelby site there used to be a fade in edit but in 2.6 there is no such button?
Thank you

No, that's Photoshop-style Old Think and has never been in Lightroom. Drag the sliders to reduce the effect.

Do not think there are any sliders for presets...??

No, but the presets set the sliders in the right panel, and you just drag them.

Just a reminder that if you're in the adjustment brush for example and you set the sliders for more than one variable (Exposure and Contrast for example), clicking and dragging on the pin will adjust the sliders proportionately.

Not sure if we understand each other.
If I use a preset lets say 300 effect and then want to back off the effect OVER all, is there anyway?
OR  is there a way to use the brush over the whole image with out have to brush the whole image?
Basically want to use a preset and then fade it off a bit when too strong. I guess export original and preset version and doing it in photoshop seems to be the only way?
Thanks for any further information.
Seems basic and unfortunate if this is not possible...?
Thanks

Hi There:  I think we understand each other.  You're asking about develop presets, and if there's a way to proportionately reduce the effect of a preset in Lightroom.  To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no.  The reason for this is that Develop presets can contain not just information from the basic panel (Exposure, Recovery, etc.), but can also include vignettes, cropping information, split-tones, etc.  Virtually every aspect (or only one) of the Develop panel can be used in a develop preset.  So, if you want to tone back and your preset includes both sharpening and noise reduction, do you fade back the amount of sharpening, the radius, detail, and masking as well as the black point?  I mentioned the brush tool only because if you make a selection with the brush and set one or more sliders, you can proportionately adjust the sliders FOR THAT BRUSH by clicking and dragging on the pin.

Here's a technique which works really well:Fading Presets
