 graph. Copy/paste settings between images. Batch-apply to a selection.
 
+A preset may name a film stock, which travels with the film node's own parameters. The
+application ships a read-only collection of presets, updated with each release and never
+written into the user's library; a user preset saved under a shipped name overrides it
+until deleted or renamed. Shipped and imported presets change only the operations they
+name, so a look applied to a corrected photograph keeps the correction; a copy or a saved
+edit replaces everything in scope.
