It’s very useful having tool presets. It’s setup so that you can just click on it and if I am cropping this document to 5*7, I don’t have to type it in every time and you can create tool presets for a number of tools. If you don’t already have it out, click on Window, Tool presets and you can dock it with any one of the sets that are currently opened. Now if I was to click off of this, you would see a number of tool presets and you can go to this little tab here and reset tool presets, load tool presets which would go into the presets that are shipped with Photoshop. I will show you how to make your own and first thing to do is I am going to make some presets for the cropping tool. Just click on this so that you don’t have all those other tool presets up there. So you just click in here with, you can also put a resolution in if you would like. And then go into this tab once again, new tool preset and you can name it whatever you like. Let's make another one to a wallet size 2.5 and new tool preset. We could just call that wallet and as you can see it’s very easy to load up your own set of preset cropping tools here. You could also rearrange the order that they are in by going in to preset manager and just clicking and dragging up, down. There’s also a fast way to get to your preset cropping tools is just clicking on here and choosing the one that you want rather than having to, you may not have this tool preset tab opened. So that’s a shortcut for you.
