Presets

A new way to work with presets

Presets now work as building blocks for your edits. Instead of a single ready-made effect, you build your own workflow step by step, from color grade to corrections. You can combine the individual preset groups with each other and follow up with your own adjustments.

Build your own style

Create your own style from ready-made steps, without setting dozens of parameters from scratch.

1. Choose a color grade
2. Adjust the look (e.g. microcontrast, cinematic glow)
3. Fine-tune the photo as needed (e.g. exposure, white balance)
4. Finish it off (e.g. noise reduction, sharpening, grain)
5. Save your own preset and apply it to an entire album

How the new presets behave

Presets from different categories don't overwrite each other – they complement each other
You can adjust their intensity and follow up with your own adjustments
You can see which parameters a preset changes, so you learn as you go
Improved management – hide presets you don't use and sort your own into folders

What about the old presets?

The new set replaces most of the original presets. Auto-Enhancement and Portrait Masking remain in the program. You can download the original Color and Black and White presets at zoner.com/en/presets.

Color, Contrast & Brightness

More control over color, contrast and brightness

Three improved tools for more precise adjustments to individual parts of your photo. They bring new ways to work with contrast, saturation and split toning.

AI Lab

Room to experiment in AI Lab

AI Lab is a new standalone space where you can try out what creative AI can do on a finished photo. Use it when you want to go beyond classic editing. It offers 19 features, from practical object removal to more creative experiments with less predictable results.

How AI Lab works in practice

AI Lab is designed for photos you've already edited. We recommend processing your RAW files in Zoner Studio first and only then experimenting in AI Lab.

Processes one photo at a time
Works online only
The result is a new JPEG in up to 4K resolution
Edits are not non-destructive, so it belongs at the very end of your workflow, after standard editing
