Creating, Applying, Saving and Loading Presets in Adobe Camera Raw!

Adobe Camera Raw, while not known for its creative capabilities, holds a treasure trove of awesome preset possibilities.  (Say that 10 times fast!)  I was editing some pictures of my boys the other day when I noticed I was getting pretty creative in ACR with the effect.  I really liked it so I decided to save it and have a go with it on some other photos.  Of course, this led me on a Preset making rampage!

As I was creating these new Presets I discovered something pretty useful.  During the saving of the preset in ACR there are quite a few options that allow you to optimize the Preset for use on other images.  It can be pretty convoluted at first so I created a video tutorial.  Below are the time stamps for the topics covered:
