Custom Presets

Custom Presets

Here are the steps to creating transferable sets of brushes, swatches, shapes , styles, gradients, patterns, or tool presets.

Step One.	From the Edit menu in Photoshop CS, choose Preset Manager. Starting with Brushes selected in the Preset Type pop-up menu, hold down the Command key (PC: Control key) and click on any brushes that you previously created and now want to save.
Step Two.	Click on the Save Set button, and in the resulting dialog name the set and save it in the Custom Stuff folder you created outside of the Photoshop CS application folder. Repeat that operation with swatches, shapes, styles, gradients, patterns, contours , and tool presets, creating a set for each function.
Step Three.	After you've installed Photoshop CS2, you'll be able to load these sets into the Preset Manager (using the Load button). If you want these sets to be available from a palette's flyout menu for each function, drag them into this folder: Photoshop CS2>Presets>Brushes (Swatches, Shapes, etc.).
