All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!

I work with Ps Creative Suite 6.
Suddenly all the pressure sensitive brush presets are gone- leaving me with only hard brushes that produce 1-size-only brush strokes.
No matter what brush I choose, I can't manage to make them pressure sensitive now.
These (red arrows) are the brush presets which are now gone:
This is what is now left:
Can anyone tell me why they vanished for no apparent reason?
I work with those brushes 97% of the time, I really need them back!
Thank you!

  • How to make a pressure sensitive brush in CS3?

    Hi!
    Is there someone out there who knows how to make a brush similar to this? I've been trying to figure it out for several hours now, but nothing works!
    Daniel

    Sorry but you aren't going to get something that looks like that from a pressure sensitive brush in Illustrator.
    The colors and groupings of blocks are too random to be a repeating pattern (a simple one, anyway) and the order is too consistent to be something like a scatter brush. That said, you *can* do this with a brush but it won't be pressure sensitive and it will require a degree of setup.
    Start by building a row of blocks. Mine is a simple pattern with a few pieces removed and not terribly interesting looking but hopefully it'll give you the idea of what I mean:
    Group everything and then go up to Effect> 3D> Rotate
    Set your X, Y, And Perspective parameters to taste. Keep the Z axes (the blue one) at zero:
    Go to Object> Expand Appearance You'll notice that Illustrator has put a clipping mask around your squares (transparent rectangle) Delete it.
    Take everything you have and drag it over to the brush panel and make a new Art Brush:
    Now you can select that brush and paint with it though you'll get better results by stroking a path you've drawn with the pen tool:
    A couple of things to keep in mind:
    You'll need to consider your ultimate length when creating the brush. Longer or more wavy lines will require more squares. My squares look a little skewed because I didn't bother to make my pattern very long. A longer row will improve the look of this but hopefully my example is enough to give you the idea.
    For generating the square colors, you might want to try the random fills script available from James talmage's page and then use live color to tint everything for you.

  • How do you make a truly pressure sensitive brush?

    I have been using Sketchbook Pro to draw becuase the brushes seem to work so much better, but I feel that Photoshop must do the same thing, if I only knew how.  I want to draw with say, a charcoal style brush.  I want the pressure with my Cintiq to both vary the size and the opacity.  In Photoshop, I can only seem to make the size vary with pressure which results in a solid black line no matter what.  Here is the difference, in the attached picture.  Note how the Sketchbook line has variation in both size and density resulting in a much more natural look.
    So what settings do I need to check to make the build up get darker the more I brush or the harder I press?

    Wow, these are really helpful tips.  Thank you so much.  And I must get the Supergirl Brush!  So now I know, but I still have a few questions about how this works.  If I choose, say, Crayon and I make an adustment to it, like Shape Dynamics, I find that when I change brushes and go back to it, the adjustment has reset to how it was originally.  How do I keep it the way I set?
    Save it as a new preset.

    I have loaded a bunch of brushes, but many are useless to me.  I presume I can delete them so that I only have the brushes I want and then I can save that set with a name like, "My natural brushes".  When I delete them, I hope I am only deleting from the set and not completely deleting them.  That is, I could load them again.  Now with what looks like well over a hundred brushes loaded, it seems quite tedious to select them one at a time to deltete.  Is there a more user friendly brush management interface that allows me to see the brushes and just multi drag them out? 
    Do we know what operating system ypu are using?  If Windows 7 (and possible 8.1) go to
    C:\users\your user name\App Data\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (CC CS6 I don't know what you are using)\presets\brushes
    What I do is have this folder open while going threough the brush sets in Photoshop, and rename them so they appear in sensible alphabetical order.  I also delete any dead wood.
    The default set is called Standard, and IMO you should treat it with respect and not mess with it.  For instance I once went through the Standard set wondering why there were so many repeats, and deleted some of them.  I awarded myself **** of the Year for that act of stupidity as those apparent duplicates have different, and very useful, shape dynamics.

  • Photoshop deleting all of my brush presets?

    Hello,
    I am a graphic designer, and even though my brushes are saved in the app data preset brushes folder, photoshop regularly (about once a month) likes to delete them from the program, forcing me to reload my brushes one by one into the program again.
    Is there any way to stop this?

    If you have any custom brushes, it's best to create a Presets folder in your Documents folder. Subdivide that into Brushes, Patterns and so forth.
    Then point to that folder when you want them.
    That way you are not mixing custom with default sets and when you get a new version of Photoshop, you will not have to install or transfer brushes.
    When you get a unique set of brushes, use the Preset Manager to save that set into your custom folder from the Preset menu.
    I hope those are do-able for you. If there's a problem, get back to me.
    If you have Photoshop CC 2014, You have the added luxury of storing your presets in the Creative Cloud, and downloading them when you have a reset, or if you want your second copy to get those same settings.

  • Can i adjust pressure sensitivity options for tools other then paint brush?

    Greetings all, i'm new to Photoshop elements and this forum, could someone help me with this problem please!!!!!!
    Is there a way to adjust the pressure sensitve options opacity, scatter, hue jitter e.t.c for tools other then the paint brush such as the dodge and burn tool?
    I'm wanting to use the dodge and burn tools with say a chalk brush but set the pressure sensitivity of my tablet to opacity, i can do this for the paint brush by using the tablet options drop down menu but the option doesn't seem to be avaiable for  tools such as the eraser, dodge and burn and smudge tools.
    I've tryed the brushes from the Pressure Sensitive set but there is no chalk brush in the Pressure Sensitive brush set that effects opacity and you can't adjust what settings are effected for each pressure sensitive brush when using tools other then the Paint Brush.
    Can anyone help me with this as i've tryed everything i can think of.

    I guess the easiest way would be to select the paint brush tool
    and using the brush of your choice, set those options you want
    and save the brush.
    Then when you select a tool such as the burn tool, select your brush.
    The one option that won't apply is the hue jitter (you can't use hue jitter or
    color dynamics in the full version of photoshop either for most other tools
    aside from the brush tool)

  • Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS5 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

    Greeting.
    Have just installed the CS5 package. Unlike it was in PS CS2, that I loved very much, I can't see whether the brushes are pressure sensitive or not in the brush presets panel of the new PS CS5 version. See the image please.
    Any option that I overlooked?
    It's a PS CS5 64 Bit version at XP64. NVidia drivers are fresh. Enough memory and processing power.
    Thank you for your responses.

    Thanks Noel. That thread was a big help. I used the last person's suggestion and so far it has corrected the problem:
    "We are running the latest driver  (6.1.6-7) and can confirm the fix you are mentioning - rolling back to  the earlier driver (6.1.5-3) fixes the issue.  However, along the way we  also found a more interesting solution - loading a set of preferences  from an older driver seems to also resolve the issue!
    We  used the Wacom file utility to clear our preferences on a machine  running the older driver (6.1.5-3), then saved out our default set of  preferences.
    On another station, after confirming an  account had the issue on the latest driver (6.1.6-7), we proceeded to  load the preferences we'd saved out of the older driver.  Presto!  The  problem vanished.  We can replicate this by bringing back the issue if  we go back to the default prefs in 6.1.6-7.
    Thought i'd share in case this is helpful for any of you.
    For  us, it's a much easier fix than having to redo wacom drivers (and  perhaps have other issues!) across multiple academic comptuer  laboratories mid-semester.

  • Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS6 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

    Everytime I open photoshop the stroke thumbnail shows up with lost settings.  I can hover my pen over brush presets and press ctrl+F1 and it will change back but when i open up photoshop cs6 it does not show what the brush setting are with the stroke thumnail and I have to do it again. I know how to correct it temporarily but I would like a permanent fix for this as it is quite annoying. I have tried to open it with just my pen from my tablet and it does not help. I am running windows 7. cintiq tablet.

    Hey JJMack!
    Thank you for your response! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my issue. I actually think I may be running into a bug with PS6. It seems like the stroke thumbnail preview might not be receiving the information that there is pressure sensitivity turn on my cintiq.
    Here is an example below..
    As you can see here the brush I have selected obviously has pressure sensitivity and PS6 is recognizing that. But for some reason that information is not being communicated to the stroke thumbnail preview.
    What's even weirder is when you go into that brush's presets the preview below shows the stroke thumbnail fine!
    I am wondering if maybe I have some weird preference turned on hidden away somewhere... or if this is an actual bug with the program.
    thanks guys!

  • Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

    I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it.  I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches.  I created a new file and started sketching.  I Immediately felt like something was wrong.  I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available.  Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point. 
    Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing?  I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen.  I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

    Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
    and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
    I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
    what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
    there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
    also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
    anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
    thanks!

  • CS4 Brushes Not Pressure Sensitive with OpenGL Drawing Enabled

    Hi,
    Four days into my CS4 experience. Not awful, but not good either.
    Running on Vista Business 32bit, Phenom 9550 Quad Core, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 7600 GT.
    I just tried my WACOM tablet and the brushes were very slow, missing the start of some strokes and most importantly no pressure sensitivity. I did
    a little searching and someone suggested switching off OpenGL and this has
    fixed my problem.
    Does anyone else have a similar experience ?
    Also, is my 7600 GT card not powerful enough ? When I moved to CS2 from 7,
    I had to upgrade my graphics card - which was running just fine with 7.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shahzad

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip.
    As it happens, I also updated both my Wacom and Nvidia drivers
    and when I switched OpenGL back on, things were fine. The pressure
    sensitivity was back and the lag was gone.
    I'll also try playing around with the settings as you suggest.

  • CS4 x64 severe brush lag and no pressure sensitivity

    Hi,
    When I use Photoshop CS4 Extended x64, I experience really bad brush lag when drawing. This doesn't happen with the 32-bit version, and unfortunately it seems to make x64 the default version to open everything with (such as Open With and file associations).
    I also do not have any pressure sensitivity with the x64, but the 32-bit version is absolutely fine. I'm using a Wacom tablet.
    Can anyone explain why it's so bad in the x64 version and any possible way to fix these two problems?
    It would be nice to fix this issue so I can actually use the x64 version, however at the minute it would be easier to just use the 32-bit version. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get it to use this instead of the x64 when opening files from Explorer. It's very iritating. I have tried to uninstall the x64 one, but I don't see an option to keep the 32-bit version on.
    I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, 8800 GT, 4GB RAM, GPU settings all on in CS4.
    Thanks very much!
    Dom

    Thanks for the reply.
    It's not an Intuos3. It's a Bamboo. Drivers are latest.
    Like I said, everything works fine in 32-bit version. Brush is perfect, pressure sensitivity is great.
    x64 it's awful. Start drawing and there's a lag before it actually gets drawn, which means I'm missing loads of brush strokes and it can't keep up (although it's the beginning moment that's causing the most grief). Of course there's no pressure sensitivity either so it's absolutely useless.
    I tried the steps you mentioned and there was absolutely no difference. Something is wrong with the x64 version.
    I can't be hassled to attempt to figure out what the issue is. I can't be bothered with using the x64 version when the 32-bit one is completely fine - it's not like I'd be getting any advantages from the x64 version anyway. I'd like to be able to just get rid of the x64 one and keep the 32-bit version, or have 32-bit as my default and never have x64 even launch.
    Is there any way I can do that?
    Thanks

  • Illustrator CC issue with pressure sensitivity and blob brush.

    Hello I ran into this issue yesterday and can't seem to find a way to fix it.
    When using the blob brush, pressure sensitivity with my wacom intuos 5 works as expected. However if I switch to the regular brush tool and draw with that tool then switch back to the blob brush tool, pressure sensitivity stops working until I open the Blob brush's preferences and change any setting then click OK.
    My machine:
    Retina Macbook Pro
    Core i7 2.3 Ghz
    16GB RAM
    Nvidia 650M 1GB
    OSX 10.9.2
    Illustrator 17.1.0
    Already tried:
    - Deleting Illustrator's preferences
    - Reinstalling Wacom Drivers
    - Reinstalling Illustrator
    Yet the problem persists. Any ideas? Is this a bug?

    I was having the same problem. I wanted to use the blob tool and it was set to 2 point from a previous session. Every time I went to use it I got a 5 point round brush with no pressure sensitivity. It drove me crazy for awhile until I finally tried setting the blob brush to something different. After that it was fine, and I could switch back to 2 point and it began to work as expected. It seems like there's a small hiccup somewhere.

  • Photoshop cs6 preset manager does not show all the basic brushes

    So I'm having this problem: The brush panel shows all the default brushes, but the Brush Presets panel & the Brush Preset manager do not, intact the last brush they show is "100 Rough Round Bristle". If I want to load any other brush set, it over writes any brushes that appear after "100 Rough Round Bristle".
    Need some serious help as my workflow is being severely hampered.
    Cheers!
    Arlen

    it only shows the first 67 at max... if you delete anything before the 100 Rough Round, that becomes the new default number. It's like the rest of the brushes don't exist. Although I can select them in the Brush Panel. It's strange.

  • Photoshop keeps placing all my downloaded brushes into one preset..

    Figure 1 are my grunge brushes i want to be using. Figure 2 is showing that my grunge brushes are not showing up in the menubar. Whenever i download and place any new brushes in my brushes folder. Even after a restart they never show up in figure 2. So what keeps happening is all my brushes keep getting piled up in figure 1 and it makes it impossible to find the ones i need..  And evne if i click on load brushes they still end up in figure 1 and not in there own seperate section within figure 2. Photoshop keeps classing my brushes as one and keeps grouping them all up into an existing preset. How do i fix this?

    Hi there
    Are you saving your brushes in the brush presets folder within the Photoshop program files? When you save your brush files, they should be saved to Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Presets > Brushes. I included a screenshot below - I'm using a Mac, not a PC, but the destination should be the same.
    Once you restart Photoshop after doing this, you should be able to choose your brush library from the dropdown menu in the brushes panel:
    After selecting your brushes from the dropdown menu, select the "OK" option when loading your brushes into the brush panel. This will replace the brushes currently in the panel with the brush library you selected, as opposed to "Append" which adds your brushes to the end of the existing list of brushes.
    Please don't hesitate to post again if you have further questions, or if this has not solved your issue.
    Cheers!

  • No pressure sensitivity button in brush options in flash cc

    i have been using flash for the past 2 weeks and have been unable to access the option to enable pressure sensitivity for my wacom tablet. I have tried resizing the windows and restarting flash and i have had no luck

    That's probably a driver issue and not Flash. try reinstalling your driver, or maybe go to the previous one instead. Also there is a thing called the Feel it driver on Wacom's site that might work for you.

  • Wacom tablet pressure sensitivity, dont work outside canvas

    Hi.
    I wonder, if i'm the only one, who are having problems to start a stroke outside the canvas and follow it on the canvas, without the pressure sensitivity is all on max.
    seems the same is happing, if you have marked an area and start at stroke outside that area. kinda like the brush only start recognize the pressure level when on the canvas or marking.
    does it make sense?

    Hi JJMack
    thx for your comment
    - i'm on photoshop cs5, any brush thats pressure sensitivity, did it with both docked and floating canvas.
    I think i've fixed the issue.
    Apprently its a problem with the newest version of the wacom driver. And somehow it only affects photoshop.
    i've downloaded the march 2010 driver from wacom. And installed that. seems to be fixed.
