Presets not showing up in Photoshop

[Sabine-c]

Hi all, I have a problem and can't seem to find the answer. I added a color swatch bundle to the Photoshop presets by dropping the .ase file in the presets folder on my Mac. It shows up alongside a lot of other bundles (e.g. Pantone colors etc) in Finder /adobephotoshop22/presets/colorswatches, but when I try to import them via Photoshop, the folder seems empty. See screenshots.

It is the same with other preset folders (brushes etc - all folders are empty when I try to access them through Photoshop) so I am thinking it is a problem with permissions. However, I checked every possible permission (full drive,...) in the system preferences.

Thank you for your thoughts!

When you use Import Swatches from the Swatches panel it ususally defauts to

/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2022/Presets/Color Swatches

which would be empty unless you put a swatch file there yourself.

It looks like you put the ase file into

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2022/Presets/Color Swatches

so when you use Import Swatches, navigate to that folder.

Thank you that makes sense!
