Problem with photoshop
Thursday, March 5, 2009 by Sc4rfy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi to all,
I've download a huge quantity of patterns in hi-def (about 130 mb)...when i open photoshop the system crash: low memory....ok between two months i'll change the pc
...but now i want delete the pattern and in the directory of photoshop i don't found the patterns...i believe that the correct directory is "preset" but i don't found anything...someone know where are custom styles, shape, brushes and patterns?
P.s I use Vista

In this directory there are the example patterns of the first installation of photoshop but not the custom patterns that i've install after...the search continue
When i download a custom shape,styles or pattern i don't copy the file manually in presets directory but i download the file then i click the command "open" on the popup window and automatically it open photoshop and install the content, i think that this content is in some temporary folder....uff i don't know

Ok i've found the solution....Folder options and "View Hidden files and folders" then in this directory :
C:\Users\Marco\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings
you found your custom shape, styles and patterns but, sad news
....they are in a single file:

So i lost all my patterns

Have you done a simple search for the *.pat file locations?

Yes sure but nothing...i don't save the pattern, i open directly after the download and automatically install in photoshop and all content go in "appdata"

Patterns should be placed in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Patterns
