You can easily install additional Presets into Photoshop. Presets include Brushes, Gradients, Patterns, Actions, Styles, Curves etc…
Presets are Located Here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop/Presets/
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop \Presets\
Please note the following:
Photoshop brushes have a .abr extension. Put these files into the Brushes folder.
Photoshop gradients have a .grd extension. Put these files into the Gradients folder.
Photoshop brushes have a .asl extension. Put these files into the Styles folder.
Photoshop brushes have a .pat extension. Put these files into the Patterns folder.
Photoshop brushes have a .atn extension. Put these files into the Actions folder.
Photoshop curves have a .acv extension. Put these files into the Curves folder.
Lastly, remember that if you install or create new presets it’s always good to back these folders up. I have mine backed up automatically with Jungle Disk.
