Looking at the Work Area
Presets are stored in separate library files that can
be found in the Presets folder in the Photoshop
Elements application folder.
Using pop-up palettes
Pop-up palettes appear in the options bar and
provide access to libraries of brushes, swatches,
gradients, patterns, layer styles, and custom
shapes. When closed, pop-up palettes display a
thumbnail image of the currently selected preset.
When you click the triangle to the right of the
thumbnail image, the pop-up palette opens to
show you the currently loaded preset libraries. You
can change the display of a pop-up palette to view
presets by their names, as thumbnail icons, or with
both names and icons.
