Move Presest to New Version of Photoshop

When you upgrade to a new version of Photoshop, it would be nice if all your presets and brushes and action came over too. Maybe in a future version. For now you have to do it yourself. But fear not – it’s really easy! Go to Edit > Preset > Preset Manager in CS6 and in previous versions, go to Edit > Preset Manager and you can select all and save. Then go to the new version or different computer that you want to set up the same and from the Preset Manager, click on the load button and load them in. As for Actions, see the Loading Actions post.

Loading Actions

When a new version of Photoshop comes out, people want to know how to load their actions into the new version. Unfortunately, Photoshop does not automatically import them when you update, but it’s really easy. But first, if you don’t have the original action file (.atn), or if you made them yourself, you first need to save it from the older version of Photoshop. With Photoshop open, select the set, and you must select a set and only one at a time and go to the flyout menu of the Action Panel and select Save Actions. Repeat for each set. Also, save off your Tool Presets too as some actions rely on them to function.
And to load the actions, it’s as simple as dragging it on to Photoshop.
