I tried opening Photoshop this morning but I kept getting a message that it cannot open. I went to my Creative Cloud and it said Photoshop was not installed. It directed me to use Photoshop on the web browser. I downloaded the DMG file and opened it (working on a MAC) and it now works but ALL my Actions, Presets and Brushes from years of collection are gone. How do I get them back?
... I have now reinstalled Photoshop but all my Presets, Actions and Brushes are gone.
Navigate to folder Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences
Which subfolder do you see here?
In any case there must be one folder named Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
Is there another Settings folder? If yes, it’s possible that there you’ll find your presets, actions etc.
Note: The user Library folder is hidden by default.
To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files.

Do you have a backup of your Settings folder? In this case you can restore your personal data.
