When using Masks, If you select to use a preset on the "Effects" line in the Adjustments Panel but then decide to go back to the default or standard (i.e. stop using the preset) that doesn't seem to ba an option in the Effects Presets popup. Short of manually creating an Adjustments Preset called "Standard" (or something similar) is there a way to do this? Shouldn't this popup have an option to go back to the default? Or, am I totally missing something.
 
I agree with you, Dan. Checking 10.4, mine always defaulted to 'Custom' which had no settings and, I believe, was there as a standard starting point (I'm sure I never created it!)
I've just created one called 'Default' (with no settings) which does seem to be the only way to get to a blank canvas.
 
Hmmm, yes, I would have expected a double-click on the word "Effect:" to set everything back to zero (which is the way it used to work), but that doesn't appear to do anything.
 
This is nothing new. I have had a “None” preset for years.

That still works for me, but (as in previous) it only sets the sliders to nil, it doesn't change the Effect shown.
 
I'm Mac - you? (Big Sur, not that I'm sure that'll be relevant!)
 
Ah ha ! Windows. Another Windows bug, by the looks of it.
I'm on Windows 10 and when I double-click Effects the sliders go back to their zero positions AND my "NOTHING" preset gets automatically selected ...

Sorry, forget that. Apparently I am an idiot. It appears that the mask I was testing with had become unselected. The mask's slider settings were all still showing, but if the mask itself is not selected then double-clicking on "Effects:" does nothing. Make sure to select the mask again, and it works OK.
 
I know one can submit a "bug" report, but wouldn't Adobe think of this more as an "Omission" or "Feature Requst"? In other words not sure how to label it.

Call it a bug, they can always change it internally.
