Both sides have a case.  Think about organ stops.  You can leave the organ set
as it was for the end of the performance, or you can hit the clear button and
turn all stops off.

But a good organist uses presents:  Preset 1 has Great set to 16' Diapason + 8'
Clarinett + 5' trumpet.

Similarly if you're any good with your camera, you will often make the same
mistake all day long. (If you're going to be wrong, be consistently wrong.)

If I'm doing a mixed set of pix, I will probably start with a clear set each
time.  If I'm doing a series shot under similar light, I will strike a similar
set of fixes each time.

How hard would it be to implement organ stops?  Probably only 3 of for a given
filter.  That way you can load a pix, and start off with the first
approximation to the answer.  Having 3 allows you to have a few presets if you
are on a shoot where you move from one light to another on a frequent basis. (I
'm thinking of a hike where we bounced in and out of heavy forest.)

Click applies that setting.  control-Z backs up.
Shift Click (right click?) stores the current setting to that stop.
Mouse hover over setting shows what the effect would be?

Each setting can be given a name.  "Gloomfix" "WaytooBright" "PolaroidWannabee"
(Naming the button is something that you let the user do.)
