Wondering where the Gradients and Styles folders have gone for presets that ship with Photoshop

Question

The Presets directory for presets that ship with Photoshop is still located in the same place on Mac: Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Presets

The Actions and Brushes folders are still in that location, but the Gradients and Styles folders are strangely absent. A lot of gradients and presets come with Photoshop, but they appear to no longer be resident in the program. Are they now being downloaded from Adobe's cloud when a major update is installed? I'm using these particular assets more, so I like to know where they are on the back end.

Since Adobe revamped some of the presets panels, they moved many of the default presets to the Required folder inside the Adobe Photoshop 2024.app and they are named, for example, Default Gradients and Legacy Gradients..

Right click on the Adobe Photoshop 2024.app, click Show Package Contents, then look in the Contents>Required folder.

If you want to add your own presets put them in

Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Presets

If you turn on the relevant panels under the Window menu, you can add the legacy presets from there.
