    Change default brush location & other preferences

    thersher Community Member

      I recently had to delete my preferences file and I had forgotten how much I had customized my Photoshop (CS5).

      Now, however, I can't remember how I changed some of the default settings, such as the location of brushes, gradients, patterns and shapes, that I keep in a central location. Used to be, that if I wanted to replace the brushes, It would open to this location where I actually store all my brushes, not the default location on the C drive.

       

      I have googled and googled, but can't seem to find the answer on how to change this, can anyone help me please?

          The two default locations on a windows 64 bit system are:

           

          C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets for the 32 bit version

          C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Presets for the 64 bit version

           

           

          and for both versions

           

          C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets

           

           

          Is it possible you made a custom folder somewhere else to store your presets?
