load – Photoshop In a Minute

Loading a brush set is easy with the Preset Manager and you can save time by organizing them too. Just go to Edit > Preset > Preset Manager in CS6 or Edit > Preset Manager in previous versions. By default, Brushes is the default Preset Type. Simply click the Load button and navigate to the brush set you want to load. To arrange the brushes, click on the first one and hold Shift to select a range or Ctrl/Cmd click to select random or just click and drag the brushes to arrange them. You can move the often used brushes to the top of the list.

The “Markers” are actually brushes, but are never used other than as a visual marker to separate different sets of brushes.

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.
