# About presets

In the Full Edit workspace, pop‑up palettes appear in the options bar and provide access to predefined libraries of brushes, color swatches, gradients, patterns, layer styles, and custom shapes. The items in each library are called presets. When closed, pop‑up palettes display a thumbnail image of the currently selected preset.

You can change the display of a pop‑up palette to view presets by their names, as thumbnail icons, or with both names and icons.

You can use the Presets Manager to load different preset libraries. Presets are stored in separate library files that can be found in the Presets folder in the Photoshop Elements application folder.
