About the Preset Manager
In the Standard Edit workspace, the Preset Manager (Edit > Preset Manager) lets you manage the libraries of preset
brushes, color 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.
Each type of library is a file with its own file extension and default folder. Preset files are installed on your computer
inside the Presets folder in the Photoshop Elements program folder.
Note: You can delete a preset in the Preset Manager by selecting the preset and clicking Delete. You can always use the
Reset command to restore the default items in a library.
