Using tool presets in Photoshop CC 2019 for Windows and Mac can speed up your workflow and help you maintain consistency in your work. Presets let you save your favorite fills, text effects, brush sizes, and even eraser settings.

Select Window > Tool Presets to open the Tool Presets palette. Depending on the current tool you have selected, you will see either a list of presets or a message that no presets exist for the current tool. Some Photoshop tools come with built-in presets, and some do not.

For example, if you select the crop tool in the toolbar, you will see a list of standard presets, including standard photo crop sizes. When you select one of the presets, the values will be automatically filled in the height, width, and resolution fields in the tool options bar.

After you select a tool and adjust the settings in the Tool Options bar, save the settings as a preset by clicking the Create New Tool Preset icon at the bottom of the Tool Presets palette (next to the trash can). Give the preset a name and select OK to add it to the list.
