The first time you use Dresser you will have to add the folders with your presets manually

<aside> ☝️ Any presets you save outside of these folders will not(!) show up in Dresser.

</aside>

Or you can also save a Layer Style Preset and Dresser wil automatically ask you if you want to add the folder of your newly created preset to the list.

You can include multiple folders from anywhere from your local drive. The folders you add will all be listed in the Browse Presets Sidebar
