Favorites Palette

Access this palette from Window > Palettes > Favorites.

The Favorites Palette lists the favorites for the active tool only, by default. (If the Arrow or Marquee tool is active, then all favorites are listed.)

If you want the Favorites Palette to list the Favorite Settings of all the tools, go to Favorite Preferences from the Favorite palette’s pop-up menu.
