Photoshop :: Where Do CS5.5 Presets Go
Apr 20, 2012
I'm setting up a brand new iMac with CS5.5. I had just gotten vaguely familiar with CS5 on my laptop, and I was hoping to simply copy and paste my Keyboard Shortcuts, Preferences, and Workspace files into the same folders on the new computer. Alas, the file setups are somewhat different.
What I can't figure out is WHERE these programs actually save these types of Presets to. They seem to be able to access my "old" files from if I drop them into certain folders through the Applications menu (see list below) but when I try to save a new Workspace or Keyboard Shortcut list, these files seem to disappear into a magical hidden folder that I cannot find.
To reiterate - below are the only locations for shortcuts/workspaces/preferences that I can find (via the Applications folder) and while the programs will read my presets from them, but they are not saving new presets to these locations:
Keyboard Shortcuts
PS - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
AI - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
ID - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
Workspaces
PS - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Additional Presets/Mac/Workspaces
AI - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5.5/Presets/en_US/Workspaces
ID - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Presets/InDesign Workspaces/en_US

When trying to print in Elements 11, after clicking "Print/Page Setup/Presets/Show Presets", the box freezes. Clicking Cancel or OK does not work. I then have to Force Quit Elements to clear it. Apple say that it is a problem with Elements. Using the same procedure in other applications, clicking Cancel or OK does work.

I lost my PDF Presets (CS6) so when I try to save to a PDF format, the std presets are not there. How do I reload them? I previously created a custom preset when building a book for Create Space and that is the only preset there - & I have not used this since.

None of my CS2 presets will load in CS3. I would like to use CS3 with its new features but I would have to make all new brushes and actions, and I have thousands of each. Is there any way to get CS3 to load them?
Edit: Just a note, they don't even show up in the load dialog. Neither do a few folders (Such as ones under "C:Program FilesAdobe" where the only one that appears to be in there is "Adobe Photoshop CS3" when there is in fact about 10 other folders)

I created some gradients that I now want to delete. They show up at the very bottom of my photoshop gradients dropdown menu separated from the other presets by a line. I have tried to find those files to delete them and I cannot get to them from my Finder window. I can access the preset folder from Application--CS5.1--presets but the other folder where Photoshop saved these gradients is nowhere to be found.

I am still using CS4 Mac and trying to organize all my "Presets" (Brushes, Swatches, Gradients etc) is driving me crazy - I am wondering if it is any better in CS6?
Other than that, CS4 is fine for my needs, so, is there a 3rd party add on, plug in or app that will do the job of organizing my presets on Mac?

I just did a clean install of Photoshop CS6 and I notice it created a Presets folder here:
HardDrive > Users > "Me" > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Presets
(the only other folder in that location is one named "AutoRecover")
Of course, I also have my normal customized Presets in the following location:
HardDrive > Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Presets
I have always used/modified my presets in the second location listed - so what is the bare-bones Presets folder for in Application Support? What is that needed?

sketching with pshop but I seem to have a problem with my brushes. I am using my tablet and set the brush to use the pen pressure. Works great until I switch to another brush size. Then when I go back to the original brush the preset is back to the original. Is this normal in 7? I seem to remember 6 kept the presets. Maybe I just didn't notice this little lack in the feature?

I was messing around with the gradient tool today--trying to make it more gradual gradient & somehow I changed it to something to do with a rainbow---& can not change it back--when it's on the "rainbow" I can do really neat things with it that I could never do before--but I really need it to go back to the normal gradient tool---does anyone know what I did & how to get it back? Also, how do I make the gradient tool give me a more gradual blend.

I've just upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and uninstalled CS2 already only to find that my brushes, patterns and styles (all very important to be able to continue working) are in a new format called .asl and these are in .psp format.
I really need to get these moved over to CS4.

I want to save presets for brightness/contrast and the smart sharpen filter. I need to edit over thousands of images but I am tired of having to set the same presets manually for each image.
Basically, its just the brightness/contrast and the smart sharpen filter that I use to edit the images. You can save presets for other filters but I couldn't find a way to save the presets for these filters.

I am upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on my present computer, I said yes to preserving the old presets. But how will this work on a new computer? And, in fact, all of my versions of Photoshop going back I can't recall how far have been upgrades. How is this handled with a new computer? I have the CS3, CS5 and CS6 installation disks. I am not sure about the older versions. So, two questions here: 1. How is the CS6 installation handled if all I've had for the past who-knows-how-long is upgrades. I started with one of the very first Photoshops. And 2.

I've never asked about this but I've succeeded in doing this many times over the years. I have this habit of flying through my keystrokes and sometimes hit a key or a series of keys causing the entire Tool bar and Window presets to disappear.
Until now, I've reset each window to show my actions, history, etc. and re click on Tools in the Window scroll to have them show up again. The question is two-pronged: What am I accidentally hitting on my keyboard to make all these disappear at once and is there a keystroke I can use to bring them all up again?

This after an install of CS6. They do appear in the flyout menus, but every folder inside the preset folder are apparently empty. I open the install file and found all the preset files there but for some reason they didn't load. ???

why I suddenly lose all my loaded presets and also preferences (like zooming with the mouse wheel). I don't lose the presets altogether, but I have to go back and reload them again. This doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally and I can't fathom out why.

I'm using Photshop CS5.1 on my Mac (OSX 10.5.8) and don't seem to be able to load tpl files.
I put the file in Photoshop's "presets -> tools" folder and tried to open it via the brush presets picker. When I browse for the file, only ABR files are shown, TPLs are greyed out.

I made a collection of gradients brushes and shapes as i worked for the past few years, and the collection has grown to such a size that its difficult for me to tell which shapes/grafients etc. are of any use for me, and i dont want to load all of them becouse they just take a lot of space in windows and expand loading time.
is there a way i could view the preset as a graphic file? so for example i click on my "chromegradientsver2" gradients preset file, and a image pops out showing which gradients are in this file? the same with shapes/brushes etc.

Every time I reboot, all of my tool presets are lost:
Brushes, dodge and burn tool, smudge tool - all
revert to default settings. Sure, there is a Save Tool
Presets in the tool pallet but do I really have to
reload my tool presets every time I reboot?
