Where are the presets stored?

stealm

where do you store the presets? I've lost them a few times and I'd like to back them up.

Thomas

stealm Hello, which plugin are you referring to?

stealm

Thomas sorry, watermark pro 3

Thomas

You can find the presets here:

Mac:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP/<PSmajorVersionNumber>/External/03f4da64/PluginData/presets.json

Windows:
\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\UXP\PluginsStorage\PHSP\<PSmajorVersionNumber>\External\03f4da64\PluginData\presets.json

hello @Thomas i tried the location suggested in your answer but its not showing

Thomas

protanopia Hello, please show me the full path.

protanopia

Thomas /Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP

ive lost my presets after some update not sure if thats adobe's fault or the plugin that reset my settings.

Thomas

protanopia I mean in the screenshot I have to see the full path where you are trying to locate the files. But if you are not seeing your presets in the plugin they will also not be in the mentioned folder.

The presets should not be removed if you are updating Photoshop or the plugin.

Presets will be removed if

you are uninstalling the plugin
Photoshop will be uninstalled
your hard disc will be formatted / clean OS install
the mentioned files are removed
every process that removes these preset files

Thomas

protanopia It seems you are looking in the system wide "Library" folder. The correct one is the user specific "Library" folder (users/<username>/Library). This folder is hidden by default so you have to show hidden files.

Thomas i see thanks for helping me find that. now that ive found the presets.json file, how can i reinstate it so that watermark pro 3 can read it?
i see in the json file that the name of my presets are visible, but in the plugin itself i cant find it.

Thomas

protanopia Hm, strange, if the file is there the plugin should be able to load the presets. Can you please send me the presets.json file via mail to thomas at pixelsucht dot net? I will take a look.

protanopia

Thomas just sent it over thomas

Thomas

protanopia The preset file contains only one preset "Phoria_White_TLHS" that will be loaded correctly by Watermark 3 Pro.

Thomas maybe something is wrong with my photoshop?
i should have 2 presets, this one that is labeled white is one of them.

clicking on the drop down doesnt show anything. i was also required to input my email again as if it was the first time.

Thomas

If the presets.json and register.json files are in the mentioned folder and you still are seeing the register form / no presets probably Watermark 3 Pro can not access those files. Not sure what is going on on your machine. It could be permission issues.

I had the exact same issue today. The plugin asked me for my email again and now there are no more presets. nothing happens when I click the drop down. no new installs or reinstalls on this pc. it just stopped working for me.

Hi, did you update Photoshop?
I would also like to mention that Photoshop Beta does not inherit the presets from the release version (in case someone is using the Beta version).
