On the Macintosh, to select the plug-ins
location immediately upon starting Adobe
Photoshop, press Command+Option as you
launch the program.
Setting preferences
Numerous program settings are stored in prefer-
ences files, located in the Adobe Photoshop
Settings folder inside the application folder. The
settings stored in these files include general display
options, separation setup information, calibration
options, display options, tool options, ruler units,
and options for exporting information from the
Clipboard. Most of these options are set in dialog
boxes that can be opened through the Preferences
submenus in the File menu. Preference settings are
saved each time you exit Adobe Photoshop.
To open a preferences dialog box:
1 Choose the desired preference dialog box from
the File > Preferences submenu.
2 Switch to a different preference dialog box:
• Choose an option from the menu at the top of
the dialog box.
• Click Next to display the next preference dialog
box in the menu list; click Prev to display the
previous preference dialog box.
For information on a specific preferences option,
see the Index.
To restore all preferences to their default settings:
Open the Adobe Photoshop Settings folder inside
the Photoshop folder, and rename or delete the
Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Prefs file and the Color
Settings file.
New default preferences files will be created the
next time you start Photoshop.
Note: You should not rename or delete the Actions
Palette file, unless you believe that your actions have
been damaged.
