Installing downloaded presets

[Neal Fox]

I just downloaded a set of preset brushes from Nigel called Washes.
It came in as a folder and the instructions say to put it in the presets folder.
I did, but can't find the folder from within the program.

Where should they be? Or do I have to do something from within SA?

I've got SA 4.

Thanks.

I just figured out how to import a preset, but it limits you to one preset at a time. Isn't there a way to see the whole folder in the presets tab?

The folder organization strategy inside of the Preset folder is as follows:

Op Type
Collection
Category

Individual presets need to go into a specific category folder. And that category needs to be in a Collection in the appropriate Op Type.

So you can't drop paint presets in the 'Image Op' categories and expect them to show up in the preset browser. And individual presets dropped into an Op Type or Collection folder will not show up.

So if you have a new folder of presets, you can make that a new category folder. So again, you need to drop your new category folder into a Collection folder in the appropriate Op Type.

Here's a tip that talks about preset organization and the preset folder hierarchy.

Ah. Got it.

The Tip link at the end of your response is not working.

Thanks.

I fixed the tip link above, so it does work now.

Great. Thanks.
