Loading Libraries by Using Palettes or Pickers
You can load libraries by using either palettes or pickers. No matter which palette or picker you use to load a library, they all fundamentally work in the same way. Here’s how:Depending on the tool you’re using, open the appropriate palette or picker.For instance, if you’re working with the Gradient tool, open the Gradient picker on the Options bar, as shown in Figure 64-1. Or, if you’re working with the Horizontal Type tool, open the Tool Preset picker on the Options bar.

Figure 64-1: Many extra gradient libraries ship with Photoshop.
Click the tiny arrow button at the upper-right corner of the palette or picker. A menu opens.
Choose a library from the bottom of the menu, as shown in Figure 64-1.Photoshop opens a dialog box that asks whether you want to append the new library to the presets already shown in the picker or palette. (See Figure 64-2.)

Tip | If you don’t see a library at the bottom of the menu but you know that it’s available on your computer (perhaps you downloaded it from the Web), choose Load from the menu to view the Load dialog box. Then locate the library in the folder where you saved it, and click Load. |
Click Append to add the new library presets to those currently available or click OK to delete the currently listed presets and view only the new presets.The library that you selected appears in the palette or picker.
Tip | You can always restore the default presets to any palette or picker by choosing Reset from the picker or palette menu and then clicking OK. |
