Photoshop CS5 HDR Toning - Any Way to Change Defaults?

I've been fooling with the Image > Adjust > HDR Toning... feature, and as long as one keeps the settings relatively conservative, the tool produces good results with little downside.  It's really great for a landscape with a bright sky and dark trees.
However, the system defaults are pretty nasty...  +20% Color Saturation?  Now admittedly, the garish color DOES remind me to change the settings.
I've created my own settings and saved them as "Noels Defaults", but I don't see an obvious way to make these settings the default when the HDR Toning tool first starts up.
I admit, it's not a huge deal to select my own settings from the drop down list at the start of the run, but who, in the 21st century, programs a dialog without making the settings "sticky" or at least providing a way to set a better default?  At least it remembers where I put it.
If you know a way I'm not thinking of to change the defaults for HDR Toning it'll save me a step and help me keep my mind on the editing job rather than on the editor.
Thanks.

Hi PonchoSloth13,
You may download the English version installer from: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html and install it on you machine as a trial. However you will not be able to activate it with a German Language key. To activate the software in English you require English version key.

  • Any way to change default point where iTunes creates thumbnail for videos?

    Is there any way to change the default point in time where iTunes creates its own auto-generated thumbnail previews for videos when you drag them into your Library and view them all using the "Movies" section in the left panel?
    So when you look at them all using Cover Flow view, for example.
    I know you change the thumbnail for each video after the fact, or even batch-add thumbnail artwork for several videos at once, but that's not what I'm after...
    I have a WHOLE LOAD of videos that are non-sensically named (Y1_D1-4, etc.), and I want to import them all into iTunes.
    Of course I will also need to change the NAMES of these movies as well.
    They are actually TV shows, which illustrates the following point:
    What all these "movies" have in common is that their intro sequences are all EXACTLY the same length, before they then show the title of the particular show.
    Now, if I could get iTunes to use this point in time as it's setting for creating default thumbnails, that would help me in two ways:
    Firstly, it would create the thumbnail that I want, and secondly, it would also show me the title of the show, so I could easily re-name the file there and then, without having to scrub back and forth, to find the name of the show.
    Any clues anyone...?

    I'm wondering, is there any way to change this so I don't have to click three times to get to that last point, where the cursor is placed in the filename and ready to edit?
    I don't have a direct answer to your question, but you can speed up what you're doing by pressing the "return" key after the first click instead of pausing, then clicking a second time.

  • Is there any way to change default background from bmp in Captivate 7 recordings?

    Any time I make a recording, be it demo, training etc it always saves the captured background as a bmp in the library.
    I can manually export, edit, then reimport each of the files as jpgs, which looses no quality but reduces the size of the published file by about 50%, and the project file itself by about 80%.
    Is there a way to change the default capture mode to save me this massive chore each time I record a project? or some other way around it?

    I have noticed this too, i.e. the captured background is BMP, and the capture images are PNG. For example, my command line terminal window backgrounds are 4070.57K versus about 32K to 65K when I convert them to PNG files. Our demonstration files can be enormous because of the BMP backgrounds. It would definitely be advantageous to have a recording setting for PNG versus BMP for the backgrounds in Captivate.

  • Is there any way to change default layouts when making a book?

    I'd like to move thing around on the page. Is there any way?
    I'd also like to make a whole picture that is in the ratio of 2x3 print that way, but the program crops the ends to fill the space. Is there some way? (If I just add white to the top and bottom of the file will it print some kind of very light white there?

  • Any way to change default treatment of placed graphics?

    Every time I insert a graphic into an iWeb page, the default is for it to have a 6-point line stroke around it. I don't want this stupid stroke and must manually change that setting.
    Is there some way to tweak iWeb's default so that it doesn't apply this?
    Furthermore, the default width of inserted graphics is 300 pixels. Again, I don't want this as the default. Can I change it?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am dropping pictures of banknotes into a blog page. I don't have the luxury of changing to a blank page design. I need to use blog entry pages.
    Apple should heed the advise of user interface experts and retain settings as they were left by the user. In this case, I never want to have a stroke around a picture, but every time I insert one into the page, iWeb insists on putting it there.
    That's infuriating. Obviously this is a preference item that doesn't have an exposed preference setting in the UI. I was hoping someone here could tell me how to tweak the preference file directly.

  • Is there any way to change default mail arrived sound on my ipad2 ?

    Both my wife and I have iPads, which both announce 'new mail' with same sound!
    I have tried changing all my sound settings to 'Sherwood Forest', but 'new mail' is still the same sound!
    Any suggestions?
    Mike

    Bob,
    As my post says, changing to 'Sherwood Forest' did NOT change sound of 'new mail'.
    New Mail is still announced with original sound, whatever that is. As this is same as wife's iPad Mini, neither of us know who has new mail. Which is reason I wish to change mine!

  • Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?.

    Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?  There are two options offered in General Preferences, Appearance Options - Dark Grey or Light Grey - but even the Light Grey is much darker than that in Photoshop CS2.  I would like to make the background much lighter.  All advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your comments.
    I have seen that the background can be changed in PSE7 by using a slider in Preferences- General;  I don't understand why Adobe didn't keep that facility.

  • Which can be frusterating, any way to change this?

    I like to edit my photos using photoshop, but use iphoto to store, when i save a  photo after editing it doesn't show the edit until the image is enlaged, any way to change this?

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that you must use the Save command in Photoshop, not Save As...

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
    (OSX 10.10)

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

    Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread.
    Is there any way of changing this preference so that new messages are displayed at the top of the thread.
    This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

    No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.
