Zoner Studio Adds 37 Stackable Presets
Zoner Studio's Fall Update replaces most default presets with a stackable set and adds an AI Lab with 19 tools.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
Zoner Studio released its Fall Update, which replaces most of its default presets with 37 new stackable presets and introduces an AI Lab. The update is free for Zoner Studio subscribers.
Why it matters
The update changes how users apply edits, letting presets build on one another in sequence rather than overwriting prior adjustments. Zoner keeps AI Lab separate from the main editor for features it does not yet consider ready for the core product.
AI Lab includes 19 tools, including Noise Removal, Remove Object, Generative Extend, and Generative Rotation, and processes one photo at a time online, returning a JPEG of up to 4K with no metadata. Luminance Range masks now use Blacks, Shadows, Midtones, Lights, and Whites ranges, while the update does not specify how these compare to earlier mask performance.
The players
Zoner Studio
Zoner Studio is a photo editing software product from the company Zoner, which released the Fall Update with stackable presets and an AI Lab.
The details
The 37 presets are organized into six groups: Color Grades, Look Modifiers, Corrections, Creative Effects, Finishing Touches, and Quick Adjustments. Several presets build AI masks automatically, and each preset has its own intensity slider; stacks can be saved as custom presets, duplicated, or filed into folders.

The Tech Race
Zoner's decision to keep AI Lab separate from its main editor follows a pattern of isolating experimental AI features until they are mature enough for core software. Tools that prove their value could later move into the main editor, a path the company has signaled but not committed to.
Zoner Studio subscribers get the Fall Update at no extra cost, and the new presets can be stacked to build a multi-step edit without overwriting earlier adjustments. Individual subscriptions cost $59 per year, and a family plan costs $98 per year.
The takeaway
Subscribers can use stacked presets to build repeatable, multi-step edits and save them as custom presets for later use. Users should expect AI Lab tools to change over time as Zoner decides which features earn a place in the main editor.
