Hi Peter,
Time has passed but in case you see this post: I successfully exported and then imported, but it never showed up in the Workspace pulldown? It was a .psw file from the same version of Photoshop (2020) so I thought it would work- hoping to recover my custom settings, argh. Thanks.
Hi there,
I ran into the same issue – I've always been able to copy my custom workspaces and move them to a new machine without any issues, but for some reason Photoshop now makes you export and then import them through a different process.
EXPORT
- On the machine where you have your workspaces saved, open Photoshop and go to Edit -> Presets -> Import/Export Presets...
- Click on the Export Presets tab
- Choose which workspaces(s) to export
- Choose a location to export the workspaces; copy those to a location you can access on the new device
IMPORT
- Do the same thing in Photoshop on the new machine, but this time import the workspaces: Edit -> Presets -> Import/Export Presets...
- Make sure you're on the Import Presets tab
- Navigate to the location where you've saved your exported workspaces
- Click Import Presets
- Go to Window -> Workspace -> and your imported workspace(s) should be there!
