Sharing Presets

You can share your presets with other users of PhotoTools. Follow these steps:

  • Open PhotoTools
  • Go to File > Show Presets folder...

A Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Win) window will open and will display the presets folder. In the presets folder are sub folders for your preset categories. Inside each sub-folder are the individual preset files, with a .pto extension. You can copy these presets to another computer, attach them to an email or post them on a website.

You can also post them on the onOne Exchange site to share them with other PhotoTools users. If you find a preset that you like on the onOne Exchange you can load it into PhotoTools by following these instructions.

  • Open PhotoTools
  • Go to File > Import Preset...
  • From the dialog that appears, navigate to the downloaded preset files and select which category you would like the presets to appear in.


   Note: PhotoTools loads its presets from the the presets folder when it is opened. If you add a preset while PhotoTools is open you may not see it until you re-open PhotoTools.
