Brush Panel vs. Presets Panel

From the Brush Presets Panel, I choose Basic Brushes from the drop down menu. Then Replace. The new choice of brushes appear in the Brush Panel and in the Brush Presets Panel.
But in the Brush Panel, additional brushes appear.
There are always more brushes in the Brush Panel than the Brush Presets Panel whenever I Replace. The Brushes Preset Manager is poplulated with identical brushes as the Brush Presets Panel.
What determines the additional brushes that appear in the Brush Panel?
Thanks,

Thanks, Chris. I am a little embarrassed. I have looked all over to try to figure this one out.
I know what a brush preset is (like a Swatch), and how to change a brush tip. But I cannot get my head around the relationship of the two Panels, to answer your question. Nor, why there are more in the Brush Panel. The Brush Panel contains those chosen via the Brush Preset Panel + additional brushes. The additional brushes seem to be the same for whatever brushes are Replaced via the Brush Preset Panel.
Maybe if you could you please define what brushes appear in the Brush Panel.
Then define what brushes appear in the Brush Presets Panel.
From there I should be able to understand why there are more brushes in the Brush Panel.
Thanks very much,
Sonny

How to Keep Custom Brushes in the Brush Panel Flyout Menu?

So I have a set of brushes that I mostly commonly use. However, I still use other brushes on occasion. When I load those brushes, my custom brush set doesn't stay in the flyout menu and I have no choice but to find the brush file and reload it. Every time.
It's getting to be a pain in the butt, so I'm wondering if there is a way to permanently keep your custom brush set in the flyout menu of the brush panel I've attached a screen shot in case what I wanted wasn't quite clear! I want my custom brushes to go where the green area is point.
Also I'm running a Japanese version of PS, but I'm pretty sure almost all the menu places remain the same. I translated some of the menu (although it might not be the exact same as the US CS6, but if you give me instructions, I'm pretty sure I can figure it out!)

Thanks! You're a life saver

Looks like you using mac os x?
There are two places you can put your brush presets file:
1. /Macintosh HD /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes
2. /Users/User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes
The difference is that the ones in the cs6 application folder show in your red area and the ones in the library show up below the red area with a separator line

Since I ipdated photoshop CC 2014, my layers and brush panels (and others) will not stay open. AS soon as I open them, they close. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Trying to open my layers or brush panels in photoshop Cc 2014 and they won't stay open. They close as soon as they open. This started immediately following the latest update that I ran today.

Try resetting the PS preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Try to open PS in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS icon and hit Yes.

Keyboard shortcut enable/disable transfer option (Brush Panel)

Is There a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the transfer option in the Brush Panel ?

Not sure for Mac, but in Windows I can enable, disable or change this option. However, according to https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12024/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-them-mac and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12074/what-keyboard-shortcuts-can-i-use-with-skype-for-mac-os-x seems that these options are available for Mac OS.

Brush panel continues to pop up suddenly over cursor(PS-cc bug?)

Help please-whenever I try to use my brush too the brush panel pops up over the cursor forcing me to hit undo or click elsewhere to remove it. This is every stroke of the brush- not when I first switch to that tool. This was not a proble 24 hours ago until I upgaded to PhotoshopCC! I have gone through the preferences menu and made every change to the brush panel that I could. But it still happens. I am on a pc with window8 and 16ram and a Cintiq21. I would really appreciate any help as this is really slowing me down.

THANK YOU!!! My rocker switches on all my pens had been reset for Adobe programs but still read as right click whenever not in Adobe which the Cintiq assumes is any second my pen is not on the screen- grabbing for my brush with the rocker switch still in right click mode (a quarter of and inch from the screen) was the problem. Thanks again!

Local Adjustment Brush Panel Changed in LR3?

In LR2, I used to be able to click a small rectangular button in the local adjustments brush panel to change the lay out of the effects sliders. I can't seem to find the button in LR3, and the default layout of the effects sliders is much more cumbersome to work with than the alternative view offered in LR2. What am I missing???

So does that mean I could create a custom + exposure, +
saturation, +clarity +sharpening brush?
Another Q: when I use the local mask, I get what looks like sand smeared around the edges of the brush on solid surfaces. When I am using the local mask around the edges of vegetation, the leaves sart to get a lot of halo-ing. Is this normal? When is the best time to use the local mask?

Right+click brush panel problem

I use dual monitors. Tools on one monitor, doc. on the other. When working on the doc side and I right+click to bring up the brush tool panel to quickly change brushes, size, etc. the brush tool panel opens, but on the monitor with my tools not under my brush on the doc side. Basically this below.
I painted, right clicked to change brush size and the brush panel opens hugging the right side of the other monitor. My brush is the round in the black paint. (I tabbed my other tools out so as to make it as clear as possible.) Any help I can get with with this will be a huge help.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure if that's the problem however. My drivers are up to date, and my G.C. is set to where it should be. Also I have no problem operating anything else on the other monitor, and right clicking to open another window (i.e. magic brush tool right click to deselect, feather, etc., right click using the crop tool) all work on both monitors. Which is why I think it's a bug.

I can´t install my self-created brush panel for PS CC as an extension.

It´s always saying in the Extension Manager CC " Extension can´t be installed. "Photoshop 64-Version must be between 14.0 and 14.9." What does it mean. I´m using PS CC 2014.1.0 and I´ve created my brush panel with Configurator 4.

I'm afraid that's because in the last release, Adobe removed the Flash support for custom panels.

Temperature and Tint sliders missing from Adjustment Brush Panel (Lightroom 4.4)

Can't seem to locate the temperature and tint sliders in the adjustment brush panel that's supposedly an added fetaure in Lightroom 4?

1. Click the little black triangle on the right side of the line that says Effect:
2 And/Or make sure your image has been converted to Process Version 2012 by clicking the Exclamation Point in the bottom Right of the image or in the Camera Calibration Panel Process: pulldown.

Brushes panel causes graphics driver to fail to load

If I have the brushes panel open when I launch Photoshop openGL acceleration will fail to load, even with default brushes. Everything else the same, but with the brushes panel hidden it will load as normal.
My video card is a Nvidia 550 ti

I think maybe the subject of my thread is poorly worded. My graphics driver is fine in all cases. The only problem I'm having is that openGL acceleration, within Photoshop alone, fails to load if the brushes panel is visible when Photoshop starts up. I don't see how this could possibly be the fault of the driver. But what do I know?
I have zero other graphics driver issues whatsoever on my system and it befuddles me that Nvidia would be responsible for an edge-case issue that occurs within your software and your software alone.
It would be awesome if Adobe staff just thanked me for reporting the bug and looked into it rather than point a finger.

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!

Brush panel

When I'm painting, I create my custom color swatches it's easy to just click on the color I need and go. But, when choosing brushes, it's much more complicated. I use several brushes, the mixer brush and the smudge tool back and forth when painting. Is there a way I can pull the various burshes, and tools into a panel like the color swatches so it's all right there and all I have to do it click and go?

See the screenshot - you can create sets of Tool Presets and load whatever set is required. Then you just click an item in the list to activate a Tool with a particular set of options.

Suggestion ... right click brush panel

Hi
i downloaded and installed Configurator in hopes to add a
special menü to PS-CS4 but unfortunatly it only can create
normal button pannels. But I would like to make a new panel for the
right click in brush mode which looks something like this ...
right
click bruch mode menue
Could somebody clarify if configurator ist capeable of this
or am I looking at the wrong end?
Anyway since this panel is my only whish perhaps you could
also redirect me to the right adobe forums where I can get my idea
done instead of lurking this forum ... (sorry I am not into coding
I am more or less a user)
thanks in advance
regards mogh

Configurator would not be able to create the panel you have
mocked up. You create something close to what you want using Flex
and the Photoshop Panel SDK:

It would require code (ActionScript).

Custom Tool Brush Panel Problems

I'm trying to create a ToolBrush Set that will hold my own custom presets which I can save independently of Photoshops Tool Preset Tab. I can't create a 'create a new toolset' button as you see in the image.
I want to save the custom brushes in this tab to a specific file or directory if possible ?

THANK YOU!!! My rocker switches on all my pens had been reset for Adobe programs but still read as right click whenever not in Adobe which the Cintiq assumes is any second my pen is not on the screen- grabbing for my brush with the rocker switch still in right click mode (a quarter of and inch from the screen) was the problem.
