=== Presets ===

The Presets menu is found at the top of the main menu. Presets act as ~~profiles for~~ Morph 4K. This menu can be used to create ~~profiles~~, manually load ~~profiles~~, automatically load ~~profiles~~, and ~~stay~~ up-to-date with ~~a network~~ archive ~~of community made profiles~~.

The Presets menu is found at the top of the main menu. Presets act as the identity profile to apply Morph 4K settings based upon input sources and other conditions. This menu can be used to create profile presets, manually load profile presets, automatically load profile presets, and keep the [[Morph_4K#MicroSD_Port|microSD]] card up-to-date with the preset archive.

By default, you can add mask and color ~~profiles~~ in the <code>.ini</code> or <code>.txt</code> file extension to Morph from your PC by manually placing them on the ~~[[Morph_4K#MicroSD_Port|~~microSD]] card in the '''presets''' subfolder visible in the file explorer or [[Morph_4K#SD_Card_.2F_Presets|~~through the~~ SD Card / Presets manager in the WebUI]] by placing them in the ''/sdcard/presets'' directory.

By default, you can add mask presets and color correction profile presets in the <code>.ini</code> or <code>.txt</code> file extension to Morph from your PC by manually placing them on the microSD card in the '''presets''' subfolder visible in the file explorer or through the [[Morph_4K#SD_Card_.2F_Presets|SD Card / Presets manager in the WebUI]] by placing them in the ''/sdcard/presets'' directory.

~~You can also~~ download the latest preset archive of community ~~made profiles~~ directly to Morph with a WiFi connection. This archive will automatically store on the [[Morph_4K#MicroSD_Port|microSD card]].

From the Preset menu, you have the option to download the latest [https://github.com/pixel-fx/morph4k-presets preset archive] of community profile presets, [[Morph_4K#Retro_FX|mask presets]], and [[Morph_4K#Color_Correction|color correction profile presets]] directly to Morph with a WiFi connection via '''Install/update from presets archive'''. This archive will automatically store on the [[Morph_4K#MicroSD_Port|microSD card]] and will only overwrite profile presets with matching names and folder paths.

[https://docs.pixelfx.co/Morph4K-Preset-Autoload-cascaded.html ~~Presets can also~~ automatically ~~load~~ based on detection of CEC, Game ID, Mode, and SPD.]* All of these appear under the ''/sdcard/presets/Auto'' folder in the following structure:

Since many consoles with analog outputs have multiple resolutions and switch between interlaced and progressive scan (e.g. 240p/480i), Morph's profile presets decimate and shift the horizontal and vertical lines from the analog signal before Morph upscales it for the display. Whereas for consoles with built-in HDMI, they can send a uniform digital signal to Morph with little to no adjustments. In special circumstances, consoles with built-in HDMI may require a profile preset to assist with downscaling their digital signal before Morph upscales it (e.g. Analogue Pocket in Integer mode or Nintendo Classics on NSO). However, there are no profile presets in the archive that apply to Retro GEM (or xDigital) since the device is already equipped to send a raw digital signal via direct modes (DV1-Direct / DV1-Passthru / FX-Direct). Direct video is also available on MiSTer FPGA via HDMI (direct_video=1) and it's advised to apply this mode when connecting a MiSTer to Morph. In the event MiSTer in DV1 has issues with HDMI switches into Morph, then consider the MiSTer 1080p prescale profile presets as a backup option.

Also, profile presets are capable of [https://docs.pixelfx.co/Morph4K-Preset-Autoload-cascaded.html automatically loading] based on detection of CEC, Game ID, Mode, and SPD.* All of these appear under the ''/sdcard/presets/Auto'' folder in the following structure:
