Keystroke for using a Preset in a Photo editing App

I do a lot of processing of digital images in an app (DxO Optics Pro 11) which has a selection of Presets that can be selected by clicking on a button which opens up a Preset selection window. I would like to assign a keystroke to each frequently used Preset. I do not know whether or not this is possible but any help would be most appreciated.

Looks like you can do it with the Show Menu action. One for each category of preset anyway.

In this example macro, hit Option-Command-T in DxO Optics Pro 11 and the flyout for Portrait Presets is displayed so you can scroll through them to see them applied in the preview. Or just select the one you want with the corresponding number key.

If you go with this approach, I'd put the preset macros in a palette that's only active when DxO Optics Pro is running.

Here's one that actually applies the Candy Color preset.

Many thanks for this, you are a star. :grin:

This is working brilliantly :slight_smile: Do you mind if I share it with the folks on the DxO Support Group? I will, of course, credit you with it. I am sure others will find it mega-useful. I will not share it until you give me permission.

Sure, no problem. In fact, I did built a palette with a few more options you can share, if you prefer.

Thank you so much for this. :grinning:
