I seem to continue running into issues when trying to load presets. 

I've downloaded a number of presets from reputable sources but every time I try to load them, I run into some sort of error. Most recently is the error mentioned in the subject.

  • I've tried going to Edit>Presets>Preset Manager but the only dropdowns I get are Contours and Tools. 
  • I've tried dragging the file over and the error above is shown. 
  • I've also tried to move the files over to the Preset folders in the Adobe library folder and that does not seem to do the trick. 

Please help.

I'm using Photoshop 2025 and dragging the preset to the app Icon in my dock worked for me. Thank you!

Found a somewhat related post that suggested I drag the file into the app icon, which seems to do the trick!

Hello, there is a maximum amount of brushes that can be loaded, maybe you have reached the limit...
