Using the Preset Manager
The Preset Manager lets you manage the libraries
of brushes, swatches, gradients, and patterns that
come with Photoshop Elements. For example, you
can create a set of favorite brushes, or you can
restore the default presets. The configuration
of presets in the Preset Manager corresponds to
presets that appear in pop-up palettes and regular
palettes.
Each type of library has its own file extension
and default folder. Preset files are installed on
your computer inside the Presets folder in the
Photoshop Elements program folder.
To display the Preset Manager:
Choose Edit > Preset Manager.
To load a library:
1 Choose Brushes, Swatches, Gradients, or
Patterns from the Preset Type menu.

• Click Load, then select a library from the list.
If you want to load a library located in another
folder, navigate to that folder, then select the
library. By default, preset files are installed on
your computer inside the Presets folder in the
Photoshop Elements program folder.
• Click the More button , and choose a
library from the bottom section of the pop-up
menu.
