How to Reset Photoshop Settings and Preferences
July 6th, 2009
I use Photoshop for all my graphical work- I am self taught, so I’m always experimenting with differnet settings and features. Photoshop is a massive piece of software, with many bells & whistles- so you forget how to change the setting back at times when you’ve messed around with it. That is when I use the following command. It resets Photoshop back to factory settings.
- Hold CTRL + ALT + SHIFT buttons (Windows) | Command+Option+Shift (Mac)
- Now, while keeping the buttons pressed, launch Photoshop by double-clicking your shortcut with your mouse

- As Photoshop begins to load, you will get a prompt asking you if you would like to “delete the
Photoshop settings file”– simply click “Yes”
You’re all set
