What kind of presets?

What version of macOS do you have?

For example, there are many, such as actions, layer styles, shapes, brushes, swatches, etc.

Hi Jeff, so the mac OS is ventura and the presets are xmp files, im not sure if im answering your question but the basically are like filters, from hypenvibe (H&V presets)

THE FOLLOWING ONLY APPLIES TO WINDOWS PC'S.

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\24.0\Presets

Is the location where presets go for version pse 2024

NOTE:  THERE IS NO VERSION 22 OR 23-- VERSION 21 WAS PSE 2023-----
People complained and the naming convention of each version confused people.

The things people manually install, most often are in this graphic:

PLEASE DO WHAT THE GRAPHIC SAYS TO DO, IT'S GOOD PRACTICE.



IN PSE 2024 THE PRESET FOLDER STRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE THIS:

NOTE:  many of the folders contain stuff that you can't add to. 



NOTE:  You can purchase presets:  They are designed to work with photoshop-rarely are they designed to work with PSE.  Expect them to be wonky.


A GOOD SITE MANY PURCHASE FROM:  It is highly version specific- if you go this route ensure you buy the correct version.

ONE FINAL NOTE:  You won't be clicking your mouse once and "making a masterpiece" which is often what users may expect.

As shipped, the photoshop elements version of Camera Raw does not have a Presets panel, so even though one can Import Presets, Adobe doesn't provide an easy way to access them for photo editing.
