How to Backup and Restore Photoshop Data

With ever changing technology in the modern world, we as human beings have to adapt to all kinds of advancements. Sooner or later, it is imperative to change your device because older versions are at the risk of not supporting new software, thus making photographers vulnerable to losing out on confidential and important data.


 If you are someone who is heavily dependent on using Adobe to store important data, then you might be subject to unnecessary consequences if things go sideways. In order to have a smooth experience, here are a few things that you need to manually backup to avoid any kind of trouble.



Restore All Your Data with These Simple Steps


If your file of photoshop gets corrupted, a simple step of clearing out the cache and reinstalling the file will do the trick for you. You can restore all the data in Photoshop just by following a few easy steps. Adobe comes with ‘migration,’ a fantastic option which will always pop up when installing the newer version of the specific program. But this only works under the condition when you save your file in Adobe’s Creative Cloud server, which implies that you need to use the same credentials as before, to relocate them.

What if you lose out on information pertaining to your cloud and somehow in the aftermath Adobe loses your files too? It would be a disaster, right? All this seems a little hypothetical, but people do lose their access from the Creative Cloud account and get logged out of their account. So, it is better to play it safe and manually backup files beforehand.


Follow Proper Steps to Export and Import Your ‘Presets’


This is the most crucial part of saving your ‘presets,’ i.e., images, brushes, gradients, and textures you’ve downloaded by yourself from the online sources.

Steps to Import your ‘Presets’

  1. Click on Edit> Choose Presets> Import/ Export Presets.

  2. Click on Import Presets at the top of the box.

  3. Then click on ‘ Select Import Folder.’

  4. Choose the folder where you’ve saved your Presets previously.
