Brushes Missing in Photoshop CC - How Do I properly install Brushes in Photoshop CC?

Hi, I bought some cool brushes for Photoshop CC and installed them, but a few days later I noticed they are no longer available in my brush presets. Where could they have gone? I did not reinstall Photoshop or do anything except quit Photoshop.
Question:
Can someone please give me a link or tell me how to properly install brushes (.tpl files) in Photoshop CC so they stay loaded in Photoshop. I also want to add to these brushes and keep a folder o my Mac so I can back them up. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.

Your question confuses me: .tpl are not brushes. Brushes have an .abr extension.
So how did you install the brushes you bought? Maybe we can find out what went wrong?
Ronald, as you'll know .tpl files are tool presets.  Using a tool preset as opposed to a normal brush preset, lets you save additional features that are not available with a regular .abr file.   I don't know if he pioneered the technique, but John Derry is the person who introduced it to me via one of his Lynda.com tutorials.
You can get a heads up from here, but I am sure Google will find more links.
John Nack on Adobe : New Photoshop brushes from John Derry
This is a JPG version of the PDF instructions for installing John's Brush tool presets.  Note that this particular set were for CS6, and I was only able to get about half of them working with 2014.2.2  It should at least give  the OP the file locations for a manual install.  Note also, you may need to click on the image to open it at full size, and that the file locations are not necessarily the same for CC.

    Two current activations.  If you need more, then you need to pay for a new license.  ISTR a poster in a similar position a month or so back.  I can't remember if he persauded Adobe to change his licens to a Teams Subscription.  What are you hoping to achieve?

  • The 'Picture Task' function is missing from Adobe 9 - How do I re-install it?

    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum, so please forgive me if I'm not asking the correct questions?
    I am a crafter and often receive PDF files with backing papers etc on them. I have Abode 7 which allows me to export these to other programmes. I downloaded version 9, which doesn't appear to have this function, so I un-installed it and went back to version 7. However the problem arises when people sending me PDF's are using Adobe 9. Is there a way that I can convert these PDF's to version 7.

    There isn't a 'Picture Task' function in Adobe Reader 9.
    Is there a way that I can convert these PDF's to version 7.
    Possible with Adobe Acrobat.

  • How do I properly install my Muse site into Wordpress?

    Hello all,
    Just to be clear; I am not a professional web designer nor do I pretend to be one. I am helping a small business by making their website. I decided to use Muse as I am familiar with Indesign and Photoshop so this seemed like the way to go. I also need a CMS for the site so decided to use Wordpress.
    So I'm searching the web for answers to my question yet still not able to find a decent answer to this:
    How do I install my Muse site in Wordpress (thus using Wordpress as CMS)?
    I already know that Wordpress uses .php and Muse is .html and found ways to convert this (using Bridge for example). Is that the way to go or do I really need to do some serious programming? If someone has a video tutorial that would be great!
    Thanks!

    With no true “Blogging” capability built directly into Adobe Muse, users must find an alternative way to mimic this functionality.  By using embedded HTML and the free Blog provider Nabble (www.nabble.com) this tutorial will explain how to include a fully featured blog in your website without writing any code.
    Here's a sample blog that I built in a few minutes as a demonstration:
    http://mtsampleblog.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    Why aren’t blogs available right now in Adobe Muse?
    Although services like Tumblr and Wordpress simplify blogs greatly, the truth is they are fairly complex to code from scratch and often require complicated backend systems (servers with databases).  Think of all the functionality a typical blog includes - commenting, login systems, archiving, searching - those aren’t features that can be easily achieved with simple HTML / CSS.
    While I certainly can’t speak for Adobe, I can say that for a blog “widget” to simply exist in Muse you wouldn’t be able to host a site on any server, with any configuration. The same is true for the “Forms” widget in Muse - for a form to work, you must host with Adobe’s Business Catalyst. This isn’t because Adobe wants to force you to host your site on their servers; it’s because that’s the only place where they can control the backend setup and build a widget that will consistently work every single time.
    Remember the days of cross-browser bug fixing (before Muse saved us), well just imagine doing that for every hosting server in the world.  But I digress…
    Similar to browsers, there are many different types of hosting servers and configurations

    About Nabble
    I like Nabble as a blogging solution for a few simple reasons:
    1. It’s really easy to use, quite powerful, and best of all... free.
    2. Once your site is embedded in Muse, you won’t need to edit your Muse file to make updates.  You will simply login to the Nabble website, post updates (and even change the appearance) and your changes will be reflected immediately on your Muse website.
    3. You have just enough control over the look & feel to integrate it seamlessly into your website, but without advanced features that might be overwhelming.
    4. It contains the core functionality most bloggers look for - searching, archiving, RSS feeds, commenting, etc.

  • How can I properly install my MIDI keyboard?

    Hello,
    I recently bought an iMac and I still have trouble figuring some things out. For example how I can install my Keyboard. It's a Yamaha PSR 1500. I bought Cakewalk MIDI cables so I could use my keyboard on my computer. I had an Acer laptop before and everything worked good. I've installed the program, but I have trouble getting it to work. I had to connect my Keyboard to my iMac with the MIDI/Audio configration, but I have no clue how it works. In the book there's a whole different Setup than I have on my iMac.
    This is a printscreen of the Audio/Midi I have. Does anyone know how I can get my MIDI to work on this? Help would be very much appreciated.

  • How do I properly install a USB windows keyboard on an iMac?

    Greetings everyone,
      I have a new windows keyboard model Haveit Magic Eagle X1 gaming keyboard that has several problems being installed on the OSX system. This is a windows gaming keyboard that, for the most part has installed properly. The two main problems are the fact that the control keys have become the shift keys, and the lock keys (CAPS, Num, and Scroll) do not illuminate on the keyboard. I have scoured the internet, but can only find pages on getting apple keyboards to work with windows and not the other way around. Furthermore, I have switched the USB port that the keyboard was plugged in, to every USB port on the iMac. In addition to this, I have gone to system information to see if the power specification for the USB port matched the power requirement for the keyboard. To that end, the iMac has 500mA available for each port, where only 100mA is required to power the keyboard. I have found nothing on the manufacturers web page, www.haveit.hk, to help me in this matter. I hope that someone has found a solution, which, logically will probably be a third party software download which I am currently unaware of.

    I may have spoke too soon. I cannot custom swap the control and shift keys, AND this doesn't help my CAPS lock indicators on my keyboard.

  • How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2

    How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2. 
    I clicked the brush tool, then clicked on color swatch that brought me to the colors and clicked OL... but not able to get the color I need.

    Well if I follow him, he creates an Exposure Adjustment Layer.
    Then he cranks up the Exposure, lightening the entire body, which he does not want. It's only the head.
    So leaving the Exposure set to where he put it, he selects that adjustment layer, clicks on that white thumbnail mask first, then paints
    using the brush and black. What this does is "hides" or Masks the exposure effect where he paints, it doesn't paint the picture black.
    He finds having to "mask" the entire body a lot of work. So he changes the mask to black by inverting it, and changes the swatch to white.
    Then being sure the black mask thumbnail is selected, he paints the head with the white color, punching a hole in the mask so the exposure setting comes through on the face.
    Does that make sense?
