Preview Effect of Presets

[MarkNicholas]

One of the things I like to do while in develop mode is to run my mouse cursor down all my pre-sets to see what effect they have and how they look. I have a number of B&W presets and I find this is the best and quickest way to choose the most appropriate pre-set. Although I have expanded the LHS panel as wide as possible the preview screen is still quite small. It would be very nice if this preview was available in the main screen.

If you click on the preset it will be ! (just a bit of late night humour)

To follow on this idea, you can make a VC and use compare to the original and change the presets on it.

You can click on each of your presets in turn, applying them. Then open the history panel and cycle through them one by one on the big image.

Yes good idea could do that, but it would be nice if I did not have to.

Thats right..just takes a fraction of second to see what it look like. In fact it would be rather nice to have a facility where a (temporary) VC is automatically created for every preset and these could be quickly scanned for preference. Yes I know I can do that manually but with hundresd of presets will take some time.
