Where Do I Find Photoshop Preferences?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:11 am

When it comes to finding the Photoshop preferences, there are a few different places that you can look. One of the first places that you can check is the menu bar.

On the menu bar, you will see a “Edit” option. Once you click on this, a drop-down menu will appear. From here, you need to select the “Preferences” option.

Another place that you can look for the Photoshop preferences is in the “File” menu. Once again, you will need to click on the “Edit” option from the menu bar. However, this time, you will need to select “Preferences” from the resulting drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: When opening Photoshop, go to Edit > Preferences > General. Here you will find the option to change your interface language, Units & Rulers, and History States preferences.

If you can’t find the Photoshop preferences in either of these places, you can also try looking in the “Help” menu. To do this, simply click on the “Help” option from the menu bar and then select “Preferences” from the resulting drop-down menu.

If you still can’t find the Photoshop preferences, don’t worry – there is one last place that you can check. Simply go to your applications folder and find the Photoshop application. Once you have found it, right-click on it and select “Show Package Contents.” From here, open up the “Contents” folder and then open up the “Resources” folder.

In this folder, you should see a file called “com.adobe.Photoshop.plist.” Double-click on this file and it will open up in your text editor. Towards the bottom of this file, you should see a section that says “Preference Items.” Under this section, you should see a list of all of the different preference items for Photoshop.

So where do you find Photoshop preferences? Well, there are a few different places that you can look – but hopefully this article has helped point you in the right direction!
