Title: Lightroom Presets Cumalative
Post by: canonman5d on February 15, 2011, 01:16:31 pm

I would like to know if LR Presets are cumulative , if I apply one preset then select another does it cancel out the previous preset?

If the second presets has sub-settings in the same categories as the first preset, yes, the second preset wins (overwrites) what the first preset changed. If the second preset's sub-settings do NOT overlap, the first preset's non-overlapping categories will not be overwritten.

This is the power of being about to create multiple presets with only certain sub-settings included so you can mix and match to get to the final combinations.

Note, when importing you can only apply a single preset at the time of import but you can apply additional presets in the Library using Quick Develop.
