How do I export presets so I can use my settings on a different copy of PS CS6

Hi!
I work as a retoucher, and every so often I need to go into another facility to work on one of their machines-often there is a test involved.
My issue is that I have a number of presets-brushes, tools, actions, workspace setup, etc, that allow me to have speed and focus on getting the job done. I also work with a wacom tablet, and although that is 3rd party, I need know that photoshop is set up to maximize the brush sensitivity of the tablet.
Is there a way for me to export my settings from one machine to another? And a way for them to revert back to thier own after I finish?
Sometimes I have to work in CS5, so knowing how to do this in that program would also be useful.
Any feedback would be helpful.

The next upgrade is suppose to support having the presets on the cloud, making it easy to transfer them when needed. So if the other system belongs to someone else or company, they can keep their settings in their cloud account making it easy to reset the setting or if you made some settings public, you could share them (I assume).
As for right now you need to find the settings on your drive and copy them to another drive or the cloud and the other persons system would need to make a backup of their settings so they can be restored.
You know what, strike that, the manager can load and save files, that is way easier than trying to search for the files, but you probably would need to repeat the process for each type of presets, ex. once for brushes and once for swatches, etc.
Can you tell I haven't tried it yet. LOL.

    AirPlay Mirroring needs an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your computer supports AirPlay Mirroring. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • When you build an optic flare, how do you save it so you can use it in other projects .

    I built an optic flare in After Effects and I would like to use it in other projects. How do I save it so I can use it in other projects? and duplicate it.
    Thanks!

    Duplicate the AE project with the flare & rename it.  Open the renamed project and delete EVERYTHING that isn't associated with the flare.  Keep the comp and any nested comps you need to make it work.  Other comps, extraneous footage and solids can go.
    Now save it again.
    When you want it, import the renamed project into a new project.

    Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

  • How do I delete photos so I can use my software; I've exceeded my storage capacity?

    I've exceeded my storage capacity.  How do I delete photos so I can use my Photoshop software? 

    Please be aware that if you remove something from your online account (Photoshop.com), which was marked for Sync, corresponding files in Catalog will be removed. For this, there is a preference which ensures that you are always asked if you want to remove or retain the file in Catalog. Even if preference is not checked, files are only removed from Catalog and not from HDD.

  • Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

    Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I downloaded a rar. file of gradients I want to use with illustrator how do I install it so I can use it?

    I downloaded a rar. file of gradients how do I install it in illustrator to use it.

    have you expanded it to look at the contents?
    actually, let's start at the beginning just in case. do you know what a .rar file is? it's like a .zip, a container for compressing a file or folder. to open it, you need WinRAR or some other OS-specific app.
    once you've done that, you can look at/make use of what it contains. a file for gradients is probably a swatch file, which could have the extension .ai or .ase. you open one of those from the swatch palette menu (Open Swatch Library > Other Library).
    it might be a graphic style library, which you'd open similarly from the graphic styles palette (but it's more likely to be swatches).
    I guess it could be just a page arranged with various gradients, but that would be a messy way of doing things.
    or it could even be a bunch of different files. you're the only one with the file, so you'll have to see what you've got.

  • How do connect to wifi so I can use my MacBook Pro out of office

    How do I connect to wifi so to use my MacBook Pro out of the office

    Depends on the WiFi source.   Download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com as some WiFi routers only let you login via Firefox. 
    Have an cat-5 or cat-6 ethernet cable handy, as some hotels provide WiFi between rooms in a hotel, but do not broadcast on a frequency that you can pickup
    with your Mac, but rather give you a direct connection to their router in the room.
    Some places require you download Boingo and subscribe to Boingo to get on their service.
    For the rest, you should be able to get the protocol, network name, username, and password for connecting your Mac from the provider.  Ones with no password will automatically appear in the Airport menu which looks like *.  The ones with a password may show up there, or only work if you Connect to Other... from that menu.   That menu may be gray or it may be black.  If there is a lock next to the network name, you'll need a password and protocol to connect.
    Macs support WPA2, WEP, TKIP connections via WiFi.
    WEP aren't very secure.  WPA2 are much more secure.

  • Can I import settings from CS5's Live Trace to CS6's Image Trace?

    I'm loving CS6 Illustrator, except for one thing. Image Trace. Here, Adobe seem to have taken away the two most usefull settings from Live Trace, and replaced all the presets with ones that are pretty much unusable. I almost always used either 'Comic Art' or 'Lettering' to trace hand-drawn images, but they're both gone. None of the new settings are good enough, even if I make a custom one. The main issue is that the sliders in Image Trace are for completely different things to those in Live Trace, so it's difficult to translate one set of settings into the other.
    With Image Trace, I cannot get the same results as with Live Trace, and so far, have found myself having to have Illustrator CS5 open at the same time as CS6, just so I can get workable traces.
    I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way to import the presets from Live Trace, or even the full tool, into CS6, to replace the new Image Trace presets?
    If not, does anyone know how to make the equivelant of Comic Art  in Image Trace's new settings?
    Images, to help define the problem: This is a close up of a file I was trying to trace, showing the major difference in quality between the two CS versions.
    Left: CS5 - Comic Art setting.
    Right: CS6 - This is a custom setting, but is the closest I have come to Comic Art thus far.
    As you can see, the definition of Image Trace is far lower in quality than Live Trace, giving me one large connected blob of colour rather than the distictly separate lines produced in Live Trace.

    I can't show the original as it is a HUGE file, 10000 pixels wide. I scan as high as my scanner will go. And that 10000 is shrunk down already so as not to exhaust my RAM. Below is a smaller version, but yes it is a b/w drawing but on a colour scan. It's been treated using Levels in Photoshop to remove the grey/blue colour of the paper, but nothing else.
    I can see round the edges of the black in Photoshop that there are bits of colour, mainly reds/yellows. What do you think I need to do to it to help it trace better?
    Actually, I'll throw in my Image Trace settings too, so people can see what settings I'm currenty trying... I got the Threshold directly from Comic Art in CS5.5.
