Once you've made all the adjustments you like through the material
panel as explained in Part One of this tutorial, you're ready
to save your newly created preset to the Easy Palette. So in
the material panel click on the Add button. You then have the
option to save All or Partial settings of your preset...I almost
always choose to save All because then I don't have to worry
that I might have missed checking something.
Click on OK.

On the Add to Easy Palette screen you can name your preset
and then be sure that it's going to be added to the correct
Gallery, if not then you should be able to find it in the drop
down menu. Be sure too that it's going to be saved to the correct
Tab group. If not then choose from the list of tab groups in
the drop down menu.
Click on OK.

At this point, you'll find yourself back at the
material panel where you can either click on OK to apply all
changes to your original path drawn circle or Cancel so that
you're ready to start afresh on your next preset.
Go to your Easy Palette and there you will see preset saved
in the Gallery you specified ready to use.

Saving to the Easy Palette wasn't so bad was it?
So far you've created a preset and saved it to the Easy Palette.
Now go back to the beginning and start all over again. Aim to
save between 6 and 9 presets and then I'll meet you on Part
3 of this tutorial to show how they can be exported or
packaged ready for sharing with your fellow PI users.
