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”.
Photoshop tools
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. . It should also be noted that sometimes the default settings can be changed by mistake due to the express desire for customization.
Be that as it may, many users after continued use of Photoshop decide to reset it to default values so that all the tools and functions are displayed as they would be by default after installing Photoshop on your Windows 10 or MacOS computer.
That said, here's a step-by-step guide on how to reset Photoshop tools and features to program defaults for Windows 10 or MacOS :
