Hi all,

 

I have the latest version of photoshop on my Mac, but have als downloaded the previous version as well. Now I would like to migrate the Keyboard shortcuts from the new to the older version of Photoshop. 

 

Can you please advise how to do that?

If you did not previously save your keyboard shortcuts you can via the Edit>Keyboard shortcuts window.

If the shortcuts are saved on the same machine you can migrate easily using Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets.

Not working. Photshop 2024 does import some things (like brushes) but not the keyboard shortcuts. At all! Not matter which method I have tried. I have been using Photoshop for almost 20 years, and it is always the same. Those shortcuts have to be re-created from scratch. People always come up with the same methods that just don't fully work.


Just copy the saved preset file from the older version to the new one, and then choose it in the shortcut preferences.
