Photoshop – How to Export New Document Presets

adobe-photoshop

As most Photoshop users have have probably noticed, when creating a new document you have the ability to save the new document settings as a preset for later use.

I have a few dozen of these presets, which I want to share with other people (without having to have them manually create each one).

Except I've had no success in finding where Adobe has decided to store these presets. Hence my question, does anyone know how I can export my new document presets for distribution to other Photoshop users?

I have CS4, but the question applies to other versions as well.

Best Answer

Mac OS X:

<User>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets

Windows XP:

[Drive]:\Document and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets.

Windows Vista:

[Drive]:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets

If you're using Windows, the files are probably hidden so you need to make sure that you enable "Show hidden files and folders" (you can do this in the Control Panel > Folder Options> "View" tab).
