Exporting Custom Optimized Setting .irs file

[stepheno90778532]

As part of my "process" that I have been using for the past decade, I routinely use the Save For Web export feature. As a result, I have created a named preset in that export dialog box for the settings I want to use.  I now find myself in a position where I am bringing more people into the image processing workflow, and I want to share this preset along with my set of actions.

However, I cannot find where that export optimized settings preset is saved, nor do I see a way to export it. Is there a way? Is it saved someplace? I have looked in all the folders under Presets and thought it would be saved in Optimized Settings where all the other ones are. But it is not there.

I am running PS 22.5.1 on macOS.

What does .irs extension stand for?

I don't know what it stands for. I just know that it is the extension that was on the default files for where I was looking for my settings file.

Your .iros settings are here:

*User*/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop XXXX Settings/Optimized Output Settings

That being said, you can save it anywhere you like, or, it was saved in an older versions' folders, which wouldn't be accessible in your current version. In any case, if you do a file search for the ".iros" extension, they should show up wherevere they were saved... they aren't hidden in any way.

Thank you Brad. You got me pointed in the right direction. Although, just so you know, the .irs files from the Save For Web panel appear to be saved in "Optimized Settings" not "Optimized Output Settings".
