GIMPressionist has a lot of parameters. When combined, they give an astronomical number of possibilities. So, it is
important, when an interesting preset has been found, to save it and also to send it to the plugin author if exceptional. Per
contra, the intricacy of all these parameters makes difficult understanding and foreseeing how each one works.
• Save Current: Save current parameters. You can give a name in the input box on the left and a short description in the
dialog that appear.
• Apply: Load the parameters of the selected preset in the list.
• Delete: Delete the selected preset. You can delete only the presets you have created.
• Refresh: Update the preset list.
