Importing tool presets to CS6

Mar 23, 2012 12:00 PM

Tags: #bridge_cs6

Is there a global way of importing tool presets to CS6 other than going to each tool in CS5, saving the presets and then loading them in CS6?

 

Note sure if this is the correct forum, but the same question applies to colelctions in CS5, can they be copied to CS6?  or do they need to be recreated again?

 

Thanks

    Thanks for this.  When I looked at it, I was told there were no presets to import, despite having saved same.  I had to load each indivual tool preset - annoying....

    Hello, Dewcal, if the presets are not saved, they cannot be imported. You might very well have lost them during a crash!

    Had they been saved in the default location? I think Migrate looks in the default location. If you have Presets saved to a different location Export/Import Presets allows you to select preset location to import from.

    Yes, the presets had been saved and appear in the default folder of "presets | tools" in CS5.  CS6 would let me export them but not import them?

     

    Thanks both again.

    Odd, works for me. The default location for saving Presets is user/library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop (version)/Presets. If I have presets saved there they migrate. If I have saved to Applications/Photoshop/Presets I was able to use Import, but you have to select each folder and import. Imported presets are added to the default user/library location.

    Hello,

     

    @Dewcal: Please make sure the presets you saved in CS5 are saved in the default location, and files with same names don't exist in your CS6 default preset folder. Migrate presets ignores existing files.

     

    Migration will only carry the files over, you need to restart the app to see the files from the Fly-Out menu in the respective panels and load them.

     

    Thank you for your feedback, hope this solves your problem.

    Hi Barkin,

     

    Just back from trip so late reply.  I had saved CS5 presets in default locations and I had not files in CS6 as I was trying to import same.  As mentioned above, have now imported each manually.
