There are 32 new presets in the adjustment panel, which are various filters that allow you to achieve a distinct look for your photo instantly. You can hover over the preset to find one you like, and achieve an instant image makeover. Once you have chosen your preset, you can add further adjustments by editing the automatically created layers, and use the sliders to modify the preset.
