Where do CS5.5 presets go?

Right now, I'm setting up a brand new iMac with CS5.5. I had just gotten vaguely familiar with CS5 on my laptop, and I was hoping to simply copy and paste my Keyboard Shortcuts, Preferences, and Workspace files into the same folders on the new computer. Alas, the file setups seem to be somewhat different.
What I can't figure out is WHERE Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator actually savet Presets to. They seem to be able to access my "old" files from if I drop them into certain folders through the Applications menu (see list below) but when I try to save a new Workspace or Keyboard Shortcut list, these files seem to disappear into a magical hidden folder that I cannot find.
To reiterate - below are the only locations for shortcuts/workspaces/preferences that I can find (via the Applications folder) and while the programs will read my presets from them, but they are not saving new presets to these locations:
Keyboard Shortcuts
PS - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
AI - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
ID - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Support Files/Shortcuts/Mac
Workspaces
PS - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.5/Locales/en_US/Additional Presets/Mac/Workspaces
AI - will read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5.5/Presets/en_US/Workspaces
ID - will also read from, but not save to, Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Presets/InDesign Workspaces/en_US
I haven't even begun to mess with my Pref files because I'm exhausted. Please....any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is link to Adobe help sheet for file locations. Hopefully this will help. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations.html

You do not specify, but I'm guessing that you looked in User>Library>Application Support>Logic and found empty folders.
Instead, go to HD>Library>Application Support>Logic.

Where are Print Presets in Photoshop (CC 2014)?

Where are print presets in Photoshop? (I'm using CC 2014 but the question applies to earlier versions as well.)
I don't see them anywhere.
Illustrator has had them for an eternity -- where you can set paper size, printer type, color settings, magnification, etc.
Where is the same functionality for Photoshop? And if it doesn't exist -- why not? It makes no sense.

Yes they are different apps -- one does raster, one does vector - but they share the need to allowing printing from time to time, and there's no reason why the printing interface should be radically different.
Unquestionably, Print Presets would be very useful in Photoshop.
I know where all the settings are -- I want to have a preset so I don't have to keep setting the color management and magnification and everything else each time I want to output to a particular printer.

What PPro CS5 preset do you use for Canon T2i/550D footage?

When editing Canon T2i (or 550D) footage what Premiere Pro CS5 preset is the best to use: the Canon XF MPEG2 or the Digital SLR presets?
I've just speant an hour on the net searching for this info and found conflicting opinions so I'm hoping some CS5/T2i users see this and will respond with what they use and why. Thanks!

Note that while this technically does work, it will create a sequence using the Desktop editing mode; Premiere Pro CS5 has a specific DSLR editing mode, and that is what is used when you manually select the appropriate DSLR preset. It's really not a big deal--you can edit DSLR footage (and any other footage, for that matter) in any sequence preset you like, so go with whatever method suits you. Personally, I like to choose the specific sequence preset that matches my footage, instead of relying on the guesswork on the New Item button--for example, this process does not correctly read SD or HD video from Panasonic P2 cards in MXF format.
YMMV...

PS CS5 preset sizes, where are they stored?

I recently installed CS5 Extended and I have so many special sizes for images stored for versions in the past and would like to import these
so I don't have to start from scratch. Does anyone know where they are stored in the programs? I have 4 for mac and converted over to 5 extended for
windows?

He's talking about saved, named preset sizes in for example the File New dialog.
I hadn't made any size presets up to now myself, but one can use a method like the following to find files stored from the various Photoshop features:
Save your preset or whatever with a unique name, not likely to be used for any other file.
Search your system for a file with that unique name, or with that name in its content.
Windows Search leaves a lot to be desired, so step 2 may not straightforward, but it can be done.
I have already found that the presets aren't stored in separate, discrete files. Now I'm doing a content search and will report back here if I find where the presets are stored.

AME CS5 Presets Disappeared

I've been using the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1 x64) for months now without a problem. Now whenever I open it, I only have 6 output options. MPEG2 MXF, FLV, H.264, MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, and MPEG2-Blu-Ray. Where did my other presets go and is there a way to get them back? The only thing I can think of is that I installed XP Codec Pack 2.5.1 and that's when the presets disappeared from ame. I uninstalled XP Code Pack however the presets are still missing.

Installing third-party codec packs very often displaces the codecs that AME (and tother applications) rely on. It is very often a bad idea to install third-party codec packs. I spend a lot of time troubleshooting issues that turn out to be caused by isntalling third-party codec packs.
You may need to reinstall the CS5 software to get the codecs back.

Where are my presets gone?

Current LR3 user (3.6) on windows. I store all my presets with the catalog.
Bought LR4 installed, and then migrated my catalog to LR4 version (it created a copy of the catalog with new name).
But I don't see any of my presets migrate to LR4, import presets, Metadata presets, printing presets, file renaming presets. None of them are visible in LR4.
I close LR4, open LR3 and they're all there.
So how do I transfer all my user presets from LR3 to LR4?
thanks

Hi,
When you check the option "store presets with catalog", then the presets are saved in lightroom settings folder which is placed in the location where the catalog is located. In this case Presets are not saved in the default location i.e, C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom.. (Here Appdata is hidden folder)
Hence, when we try to use the LR 3 catalog in LR 4, then in the process of upgrading the catalog, the presets are not found by LR 4 in the default location and thats the reason there will be no presets available in LR 4.
But if the option "store presets with catalog" is unchecked, then after conversion and upgradation of the catalog, all the presets will be available in LR 4 with all the settings that wrere in LR 3
There are few modifications in the develop module in LR 4, so there wil be exclamation mark at the bottom right corner of the image in develop module, when you click that it will give option to update the process version , after updating the process version , the new settings and sliders will be visible
So if you want to use the old process version then new settings and sliders will not be available
NOTE : If a Preset was created with Process 2010, then LR4 will use it with Process 2010. If you change the image to Process 2012, then you move away from the preset adjustment parameters and you no longer are using the preset. So, in summary, you can still use the LR3 Presets, but you lose any new LR4 features and functionality. You can start with a preset from LR3, change the process to Process 2012 and tweak the image adjustment parameters to your satisfaction and then save that as a new preset. The result would be an upgraded version of your old preset.

Where are Lightroom presets found in Finder on my Mac?

I recently had to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Before this I had backed up my files on an external drive. I have reinstalled Lightroom 5, but now I want to restore all my presents. When I go to Time Machine where do I find those presets so I can restore them?

Cannot Import CS5 Presets

I have CS5 and CS5.1 both on my system, however the import presets tool only shows CS3 and CS4 as an option. Bug Maybe?
MacPro Quad-Core
OS 10.6.8

Perhaps there is some confusion on my end as to how this process is going to take place. Originally I did not export anything from CS5.1. I simply tried using the migrate tool. Asumeing the process had gotten easier for people migrating to new versions of PS.
As a test I tried exporting all my presets from CS5.1 to their default locations. I tried the migrate tool again and still says the same thing.
As another test, I tried the import/export tool instead. I selected the import tab, then selected the folder to import., then choose all the items in the "source" list that I wanted to import and moved them to the "presets to import" pane and clicked Import Presets. I got a message that the presets were imported and that I needed to restart PS (really???) I restarted photoshop and nada...
I can import them one by one in the presets manager but that's no better than before.
This might be off-topic but why do some layer syles show the dark gray interface behind the style and some show a light gray? (see screenshot below?

Lightroom 3 to Photoshop CS5 presets differ

When I move an image from lightroom to Photoshop then save the image the resulting image differs when applying the same preset. I notice a difference under calibration profile; the original (lightroom) file defaults to Adobe Standard while the psd file defaults to embedded. As far as I know there is no way to change this.
I prefer to do all my photoshop manipulation on the original image before setting the final look vs doing my lightroom adjustments then sending off to photoshop.

Presets only store the absolute value of each slider in develop mode.
Same value has a different effect on a Raw or a gamma-encoded file (TIFF, PSD etc.). For example, the default brightness for a raw is 50, whereas it is 0 for a flat file.
Bottom-line: you shouldn't expect the presets made for a raw file to work fine on a TIFF. That's the nature of things.

Photoshop CS5 preset folders empty

Went to load and or reset crop tools, brushes, etc... and when I navigate within CS5 to those folders, all are empty. If I navigate not from Photoshop but directly from My Computer to the Preset folders, they are there, but not when I navigate within PS.... and the navigation is correct.
When I do place brushes in the preset folder, then navigate in PS, they are not there... I myself have CS4 and this is not a problem. I'm troubleshooting-working with a friend on a project and we are handcuffed with this CS5 problem... Help!?

What OS is your friend using? Vista or Windows 7 by any chance?
Assuming yes...
I ask because UAC in these OSs does some "special" things, actually redirecting requests to access files in certain folders. In short, Explorer and/or the file system shows them in one place when they're actually stored in another.
I don't know if that might be what's happening here, but here's an experiment you can run: Disable UAC (drag the slider to the "never notify" setting at the bottom), reboot, then see if the problem persists.
The problem comes about because Photoshop has its roots in a simpler time, when the installation was done with the assumption that the one and only administrative user of the computer would be using it.

Where are Print Presets located?

In 10.4.9 there are 2 methods for creating Print Presets. I have used the wrong method and need to delete a preset very badly. Where are these located? Normal ly the field in question says "Custom" or "Default"... I have no problem deleting from the preset field wth commands in it (save, save as..., delete) it's the other one that I need to remove from.
When I hit "Apple-P" it's the top field. Somehow I got a printer preset in there! Help!

Hey thanks... nice try, but that's not the one. That file contains the normal print presets that can be deleted by using the "delete" item in the menu.
I noticed that there are several other files of interest in the library you mentioned. Hmmmm.
I have a screen capture of the menu in question if there's any way to show it to you, let me know.
Thanks again.

Where is my Preset Folder?

My folder on the left side panel is completely gone and I can't figure out how to get it back. From Navigator, Catalog, Folder, Collections, and Publish Services... I don't know where the Preset went!

Go to the Window menu, it's between Help and View, select Panels, select Presets

How to determine where Lightroom Settings (Presets) are stored

I have been running LR with a catalog and images that are on an external disc. I have several presets for use in import, develop, export, etc. Everything has been working fine until I recently was playing with the Print module. After doing that, the next (I think) time I opened my catalog, I discovered that all my presets had disappeared. When I examined the folder on the external disc that contains the catalog, presets, etc., I discovered a new folder, "Lightroom Settings". It contained empty folders for Import Presets, Keyword Sets, Filename Presets, etc. -- everything except the folder for Print Presets. This, obviously, is the cause of my missing presets, but why did it happen?
I'd like to know the "algorithm" for LR's storage of presets -- system level, user level, catalog level, whatever. It would seem to me that if it is adding catalog level presets, then it would either copy the existing set of user presets to the catalog or (probably better), not create empty catalog-level preset folders and use the user-level presets where there are none at catalog level. Is there someplace that this process is explained?
