transfer Photoshop settings, presets, tweaks to new computer?


Recommended Posts

New computer. Deactivated PS-CS2 on old computer but I still can

access the program files on the hard drive.

 

How do I move/transfer all my old tweaks and presets to the new

computer? I have activated PS-CS2 on the new computer; just need to

move my settings over.

 

Thanks.

Step 1: To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop or ImageReady, start

the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or

Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS X). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete

the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?" or "Delete the Adobe ImageReady

Settings file?"

 

Step 2: Copy "Documents and Settings/[user profile]/ Application Data/ Adobe/

Photoshop/ 9.0/ Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings" to the new computer.
