Restore Photoshop defaults

Photoshop is an image and photo editing program with countless tools and functions. Furthermore, these options and functions can be customized to facilitate the workflow of users. However, these customizations at some point can be a problem for the user since it may happen that we do not find a specific option due to this customization. This is why some Photoshop users at a certain point in time may be interested in resetting Photoshop tools and features to the way they were “factory”.

All Photoshop tools and functions are displayed and configured in a specific way by default , that is, when we install the program on our Windows 10 or MacOS computer, each function is configured specifically or a certain tool is selected by default. .

However, over time, these tools or functions are used by the user and therefore the next time we use it, parameters such as size, hardness or even the preselected tool may be different from the default after the first installation of Photoshop. .
