Open Photoshop Color Settings from the Edit menu.

Go to Edit > Color Settings.

Choose your custom preset

The color settings dialog will open. If you followed with the previous tutorial

An option must already be set Settings At the top on the custom preset. In my case, I named the preset “My Color Settings”:

Photoshop uses the preset custom color settings we created.

The custom color settings preset should already be selected.

If for some reason your custom preset isn't already selected

Click the name of the current preset. Then choose your custom preset from the list:

We'll need to Adobe Bridge . To open Adobe Bridge from within Photoshop, go to the menu Fillet at the top of the screen and select Browse in Bridge :

Open Adobe Bridge from Photoshop.

In Photoshop, go to File > Browse in Bridge.

 

 

Step 2: Open the color settings dialog

Then in Bridge CC go to List Edit And choose Color Settings .

In Bridge CS6, go to List Edit And choose Creative Suite Color Settings . This opens the Color Settings dialog:

Open color settings in Adobe Bridge.

In Bridge, go to Edit > Color Settings (CC) or Creative Suite Color Settings (CS6).

 

 

Step 3: Choose your custom color settings preset

Note that the Color Settings dialog box in Bridge looks different than what we saw in Photoshop. Instead of choosing individual color settings, we choose here preset for color settings.

The preset will then sync across every app in Creative Cloud or Creative Suite. By default, the preset is selected 2 general purpose in North America .

This is the same preset that Photoshop was using before it was changed. At the top of the dialog, we see another message telling us that our color settings are not yet synced:

Step 4: Click Apply

To sync your preset across every app in Creative Cloud or Creative Suite, click Application At the bottom of the dialog:

Clicking the Apply button to sync the color settings.

Click on "Apply" to sync the color settings.

Bridge closes the Color Settings dialog after clicking the Apply button. To find out what really happened, let's quickly re-open it. Go to list Editing And choose Color Settings (CC) or Creative Suite Color Settings (CS6).

This time, the Color Settings dialog opens with our custom preset already selected. And the message at the top of the dialog now tells us that we've successfully synced the preset to every app in Creative Cloud / Creative Suite:

Every application in Creative Cloud / Creative Suite now uses custom color settings.
