Where are my brushes stored? PC User

I've downloaded a bunch of brushes over the years to my PhotoShop. Now, where are they stored?? Running a search for .abr in my computer only finds the brushes that came with the program when I first bought it. I use a PC.
Thanks,
Connie

If the brush sets are in photoshop cs5 (that is you can load them in cs5) then you might just save out the sets from cs5 to your desktop using the Edit>Preset Manager
and then you could use something like Acrobat.com or copy the sets to removable media (cd/dvd, flash drve, camera card etc) and
then copy them to your other computer.
You must have saved/downloaded the sets (brushes) to somewhere else on your computer besides the default locations in cs5.
There is another place they could be, but we need to know what version of windows your using.
One thing that you should be aware of is that not all the brushes will work in cs4 if the brushes use some settings in photoshop cs5 that photoshop cs4 doesn't have.

  • Where are my brushes stored

    Before CC I used to make a copy of my presets directory in order to save anything I made, "brush, action." Now ic CC2014 I can't find out where it stored a brush I just created. I found 2 locations, 1 in under programs/abode/photoshop cc 2104. The other is under users/steven/appdata/roaming/adobe/photshop cc 2014//presets. However my brush does not appear in either brush directory even though it is in photoshop.
    Reason I'd like to find it is that the backup settings in photoshop never include any presets I've added. TIA

    Using Preset Manager you can save single abr brushes or any sized group of them to any location you want.  I don't save the whole brush set when I save brushes (usually brush and tool presets) but groups - or sets - of brushes which allows me to fine tune the exact brushes I need for particular purposes.  If I have to reinstall PS, my saved brush and tool sets (abrs and tpls) can be easily reloaded on top or or instead of the default ones.  So saving in Preset Manager gives you more control over what is saved.
    You can of course also save individual brushes using the Save Brushes in the fly-out menu and if you save on a separate drive that is another way to ensure they are safe.  But you can only save one brush at a time.  In Presets Manager, you can save any number of brushes you want.
    Sorry if I have missed your point.

  • Where are the brushes stored other than presets brushes

    I have installed an abundance of brushes usually by double clickling from the download folder, and now I want to back them up. I have ran .abr spotlight searches and found nothing; they are also not in the photoshop > presets > brushes folder. Only the stock brushes are in there. Where can they be??
    I'm on mac osx by the way. Thank you!

    I did some of  my own research on this, and found this useful link: 
    http://www.creativepro.com/article/photoshop-brushes-frequently-asked-questions
    Follow these instructions to install brush sets:
    1. Download or move the .ABR file to a permanent location on your computer. This could be into the Photoshop Brushes folder (full paths below) or a central location you create for Photoshop brushes. To place it in Photoshop’s existing brush folder, move or copy the .ABR file to:
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx\Presets\Brushes\
    Mac OSX: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CSx/Presets/Brushes/
    2. Open Photoshop and select the Brush tool.
    3. On the Options bar, click the down arrow beside the brush shape preview. This will open the controls for brushes.
    4. From the brush control popup, click the right-facing arrow in the top right corner and select Load Brushes or Replace Brushes.
    5. When the Load Brushes dialog appears, navigate to the location where you placed the .ABR file and then open that file.
    6. If you chose the Replace Brushes command, Photoshop will remove any existing brushes from the Brushes palette, leaving you with only the newly loaded set. However, if you chose the Load Brushes command, Photoshop will add the new brush set to the end of the list of brushes.
    7. Start brushing!

  • Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

    Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
    I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   .  .  . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
    . . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
    Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
    But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below:  (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
    I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
    I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
    Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin'  my head at this point.

      This was the correct answer:
           Laubender     Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM  (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)   
    @Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
    The path for these would be:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
    or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
    If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
    All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
    Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
    You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

  • Where are the presettings stored exactly?

    Hi everyone
    Where are the presettings stored exactly? They must be safed in some kind of *.ini-File, in the system's registry or at another point.
    We need this information to automate the setup on every working station. Domain solutions as an alternative are unfortunately not possible yet.
    Adobe Distiller Version is 10.1.824
    Thank you.

    The user-specific settings files (editable) are stored in
    %APPDATA%\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
    The defaults (read-only) are in Acrobat's program folder
    \Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Settings

  • Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager.

    Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager?
    I created a profile attached to a user group and then made the mistake of removing the group without first deleting the profile.
    Now the orphan profile can't be managed (it's no longer visible) and is still being pushed out to users.
    The group I deleted had another group as it's members.
    Example:
    Active Sync User Group was a member of VPN Group.
    VPN Group was deleted (it had the VPN settings payload)
    Profile with VPN settings are still pushed out to Active Sync User Group even though VPN Group no longer exists.
    I'm hoping I can manually remove this profile but I'm thinking it may be contained in Postgres. If that's the case I would appreciate any suggestions/methods to access the database to make modifications.
    Thanks

    The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.

  • Where are my ebooks stored in mavericks ibooks

    where are my ebooks stored in mavericks ibooks

    Why, oh why????
    Why can't Apple allow us to select custom location for iBooks library, just as we do it with iTunes library???
    I don't want to have 80+ GB of my iBook files moved from iTunes on the separate media volume back to the user folder on the system volume.
    I created a symlink in default location and keep my Ibooks library on the media volume, but it is a temporary and not convenient fix. Every time I launch iBooks it tells me that it can't access library - only after I click on Try Again button it loads the library, but not a complete one, only books purchased through iTunes, it doesn't want to show the rest of my library that is in the same location (and was in iTunes library before).

  • Where are printer drivers stored in OS 10.8?

    I am trying to set up a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 as a new printer on OS 10.8. The printer setup locates the printer and automatically selects Epson Stylus R3000 with the notation "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download and add this printer." However, clicking on Add leads eventually to an error message: "Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R3000 because it is not currently available fromthe Software Update server." This result blocks me from setting up the printer.
    I know the driver is part of the Epson driver software package that is installed with OS 10.8. I would like to select it manually. My question is where are printer drivers stored? How do I select a driver?
    Thanks in advance!

    While a bit of a stretch, you can download the entire Epson printer package from Apple and install it. This will include all drivers for all Epson devices as opposed to the one just for your system. The package is 1GB in size, but will include everything supported.
    The package can be downloaded here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
    This following knowledgebase article says your printer is definitely supported, so the driver should be in that package: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson

  • Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

    Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

    but then why does the FAQ state this:
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
    Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files?  Would be nice if they specified what they mean
