Thanks for the reply. It’s weird that you have all these options to create and save settings and many times you save them but don’t (or can’t) know where they’re saved. Worse yet, I’m planning to have my machine flushed and rebuilt this week and would like to save off all this stuff. Why not make it easy like levels and curves, etc.
Looks like starting from scratch is a default in CS3…sigh.
Well, those settings are obviously written to a file somewhere, I just haven’t been able to discover where. And believe me, I really lookedhard. And if they’re written to a file, it remains to be seen whether that file is able to be moved/shared between separate application installations.
But you’re dead-on correct. If a user is prompted to save settings for future use, they should be easily discoverable, savable, and transferable.
Here’s the only reference I could find. It’s buried in the main Photoshop preferences.
I opened the prefs file in BBEdit, then did a search for "Sharpen." Right near it, I spied the word "drogueflute" which is the name of the only Smart Sharpen setting I’ve saved. I named it this way on your prompt so that it might be easier to find with a full hard drive search.
Fat lotta good it does!
Here’s a screen shot of the file opened in BBEdit:
