Confirm Default Preset Overwrite

Not much more than the title says, I just hate editing filters and saving only to find out I lost that carefully balanced default preset with the awesome global seed you'll never find again.

The reason this happens is because I'll start changing sliders to experiment and test an effect or some new nodes, and then I'll be satisfied so I go to save the filter and the default been overwritten without making sure with me.

For example, I may want to improve a certain effect that happens in preset 4. I go into the editor, open preset 4, and do my work. However when I'm satisfied and done, I save my filter, and now preset 4 has overwritten the default.

I always do forget! I know how to get around it, it's just it never comes to mind

As said by Morgantao very well, there is a missing very important set in this.

Here is the real text that you should do

I go into the editor
open preset 4, and do my work.
However when I'm satisfied and done I MUST CLICK ON PRESET 4 AND SELECT "UPDATE PRESET" to save and keep the work I have done, and then I save my filter

the PRESETs are not chained directly to the filter editor so they are not saved with the filter when you modify them and I think that I like it this way, and how is done now.

I have a note of paper pasted to the monitor to remind me that if Photoshop has an error you will loose all the work, so I can remember to save frequently to avoid a disaster happening.

Perhaps you could put a note, remember to click on update preset

This happens the same to me TOO I have a white board in the back on the wall, and it seems that is like DECORATION instead of something where I have things to remember and is difficult that I put the attention on these.

Perhaps they could invent the neon lighted notes with animated flags "look at me, I am here to help you"
