Adobe Camera Raw doesn’t have the same options as Photoshop and vice versa.
The other difference between presets and actions are the tools themself. Again like with actions, you can tweak the edit for the best results.
Within ACR, you can apply your Photoshop preset with one click. A Photoshop preset, on the other hand, is applied in a program called ACR.ĪCR stands for “Adobe Camera Raw.” Which is required if you want to edit your RAW files. A Photoshop action is applied directly to your opened image in the PS interface. The difference between a preset and action is where you apply within Photoshop. A Photoshop preset, like actions, contains saved processing data.
