Custom Brush sets don't save to dropdown menu

Hey! I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on saving brush sets. I've recently upgraded from Elements 7 to PS CC and the way I saved brush sets in Elements doesn't seem to work in CC.
I can make and save a brush set fine. I save it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Presets\Brushes alongside the default "Assorted Brush" and all the others, and I can load them into an existing default set.
They never appear in the dropdown menu though. I've tried saving through the preset manager and the dropdown menu and saving them over an existing brush set but it reverts to the old brush preset as soon as I changed between default sets.
On restart, they stay in the brush set if I load it before closing.
Can't get it to work no matter what I try. What am I doing wrong? :S

Ah, that makes sense, coupled with the fact that the entire menu for external Speedlite control isn't available if no flash or a non-compatible flash is attached.
Here's Canon's response. Its a firmware bug after all, but hopefully can/will be fixed in the next firmware:
We appreciate your continued correspondence regarding your EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D, and Speedlite 580EX II.
Thank you for your response. Tests were performed with the EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D, and the Speedlite 580EX II to duplicate the problem you are encountering. Surprisingly, by following the settings you stated in the forum, we were able to duplicate the problem with our equipment too. I have submitted a notification to our engineers who will look into the matter further and hopefully a future firmware update may be released to fix the problem. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D, and Speedlite 580EX II.
Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,

How do I clear the "save as" dropdown menu settings?

When saving a file which I am downloading, I get a set of locations in the drop down menu after instantiating the save as prompt. I want to clear that information for several reasons, not the least of which is that many of the locations listed are not valid save locations. How do I accomplish this task?

Custom Brushes

I've downloaded and installed a bunch of free custom brushes from the Internet along with a few brushes I made. It is often difficult to know what the free ones will look like until fully installed.
I am looking for a way to select a bunch of them and delete them from my brush list. So far, I am only able to delete one at a time. I tried shift-clicking and Control-clicking to get multiples, but no luck. Any suggestions?
I'd also like to reorganize them so my favorite texture brushes are in one group and all my rough brushes in one group of brushes. (not physically a "group", but just placed side by side in the list). Is there a way to click and drag them around inside the list?
Lastly, It would be nice to color code my favorite brushes or brush styles, similar to the way you can color code actions. Is this possible?
I am working towards cleaning my brush set up and saving them to a brush set I can save and recall. So far, I am selecting a brush I like, then clicking an open spot at the bottom of the list and letting PS add the new brush with a new name. At that point, I am deleting the old one out of the list.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have about 400 brushes sets in my Presets>Brushes folder.
When I go to Preset Manager in an attempt to install one of those sets, the resulting list only shows the set numbers through the letter B.
How can I see the rest of them?
I don't want to install all of them at one time, I just want to be able to choose all of the sets.
How can I do this? I already have Presets Viewer so I know which sets I want to load, I just can't see them in order to load them.
Thanks in advance!
Linda
Edit added 10/22
One workaround that I have considered is to load all of the ones that I can see, remove them from the presets>brushes folder, load another batch, remove those, and so on.
Will removing them from the presets>brushes folder cause them to disappear from the available brushes in Presets Manager?
The downside of this is, of course, having way too many brushes to look through.
Alternatively, perhaps I could creat subfolders in Presets>Brushes, one for brushes starting with numbers, one for brushes starting with A, etc?

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

Hide the Anyconnect Group Dropdown Menu on logon window

Hello Community.
Someone told me it's possible to hide the Anyconnect Group Dropdown Menu, so that only the field username and password is visible on the Anyconnect logon windows. See printscreen
How do i do that, we anyway have just one Group. We don't need that dropdown menu.
Thanks in advance, patrick

Yes, Sir. Sorry I didn't mention that before. Without the drop-down you will need to utilize the DefaultWebVPNGroup conenction profile. Build that connection profile to your liking, should be a simple change as you can select your custom group policy from that profile if you'd like. That should resolve your error.
Kind Regards,
Kevin

Interactivity with dropdown menu

Hi,
I need dropdown menu for my project. I know Captivate is
giving dropdown menu if i use project>Skin but its skin is not
matching with my project interface also it is not letting me to
customized it.
If i make the dropdown menu in flash and import the .swf in
captivate, is it possible to give interactivity to flash
dropdownmenu to the captivate slides and if yes how to do it?

Hello pocketPc
In most cases you would create this the same way that you
would any other kind of interactive simulation.
You start by capturing your screens using either the training
simulation or assessment simulation recording mode. Captivate would
then add click boxes to the dropdown menu and radio button when you
click on these items in the application you are capturing your
screens from.
That way once you finish your screen capture session you
would end up with a slide that shows for example the radio button
in its default state and another slide with the radio button
selected. Same goes for the dropdown menu.
If this isn't what you require then please provide us with
some more details so that you can advise you better.
Regards,
Mark

Setting up Custom Brushes and ToolSets

I created a custom panel using configurator. In that custom panel I created a pop-up panel button, but the pop-up panel button doesn't trigger a pop up panel ? I want the pop up panel to have two tabs one to save custom brushes and custom tool settings, and those panels which save custom tool brushes and custom tool settings, saved with the custom panel.
The results is the custom tool panel that I created with the custom pop-up can be loaded into photoshop as a extension with the custom tool brushes and custom tool settings along with it, so it's not tied directly within photoshop but rather with the extension, I hope I made myself clear.

Hi,
When you export Configurator panel to photoshop, it will generate a file named "untitle-1.mxi", this is the Extension Manager package template.
Open it with a text editor you will see this piece of XML
    <files>
        <file source="content" destination="$panels/untitled-1"/>
    </files>
I think you can add something like these:
<file source="mybrushes" destination="$brushes"/>
<file source="mytools" destination="$tools"/>

Saving to legacy format expands custom brush strokes

I don't ever recall ths happening. I have a CS5 file, and if I save it to CS2, CS3, or CS4, the custom brush strokes get expanded. They're very simple brushes, not Bristle brushes. I can understand it happening if I was trying to save to v. 8, but not a newer version. Is there some setting in my save dialog I'm missing?

It seems to be happening with Art Brushes I create, but not with ones that come with Illustrator. In the attached image, the top left object is what I used to make the brush. Undernesth that is a brush stroke. On the right is the Outline view after saving to CS3. The brush strokes below are made with a default Illustrator Art Brush.

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
OSX 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Duncan.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

How do I get my brushes to show up in the dropdown list?

I'm fairly new to Photoshop. I'm using CS6, and I'm having a little trouble. Mostly, I have a lot of brushes, but not all of them show up in the dropdown menu for brushes:
So, how can I fix this, if there is a fix for this? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Is there a way to further divide brush sets into groups? I agree that is an unmanagably long list, and I bet most of them are never used. It looks like Windows 7, so the brushes live in
C:\users\your user name\App Data\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\brushes\
I've never tried adding a folder to the brushes folder, but even if it is still recognised, I suspect it would not not change the look of that list. I'll have a try though, out of interest.
Here's an idea. Find the above folder, and right click and send to desktop as shortcut, and place another shortcut to a master list of brushes right next to it. Open both, and drag groups of brushes into and out of the brush folder on those rare occassions you need them. Wouldn't it be nice if you could incorperate such a feature into a custom workspace?
[EDIT] Well I just tried, and Photoshop CC sees the contents of sub folders in the Brushes folder. That would help with my weird little idea above, and while my brush list is nothing like the OP's, it is bordering on being too big to be comfortable.

Custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?

I just started using Flash for my animations and I want to ask if one can create custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?
Also I imported an embeded video avi into Flash and I want to reduce the opacity of the video so I can create a new layer over it and draw over the frames with the video as reference.I dragged the movie into the stage and converted to movie clip and reduced the opacity but its not showing on the stage when I go to the part of the video I want to draw over.
I use Flash CS3.
BTW,why isn't the bucket tool & selection tool like Photoshop?It makes shading colours problematic?or is it because its vector?

I was not able to access the mc inside the scroll pane with the code:
TweenLite.to(mc_pane2.content.scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLytell_btn, 1,
I had to explicitly specify that it is the mc I am accessing inside the
scroll pane, otherwise I was getting errors:
TweenLite.to(MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLyt ell_btn,
1, );
That's OK. It's because ScrollPane::content is of a type DisplayObject. DisplayObject does not contain property named scrollpaneBckgrnd. MovieClip, however, is a dynamic class and enables you to (try to) access virtually any property you can imagine. If it doesn't exist in your particular instance of a MovieClip, you'll get an runtime error.
P.S. If you have time can you briefly tell me why is there a line of code
in your sample:
mc_pane2.update();
ScrollPane::update() measures your content and sets scrollbars accordingly, if needed.
Can it be changed with the size specified for the mc_pane2:
mc_pane2.setSize(556, 300);
what would be the major difference between them?
They definitelly don't do the same. ScrollPane::setSize() sets size of your scrollpane If you get same results using one or the other function, it's because your content is smaller than 556x300px and you don't need scrollbars so in this particular case ScrollPane::update() would "do nothing".

How to "harden" a custom brush?

In the PAINTING/BRUSHES panel, I've created a custom brush by using the Brush Tip Shape options. I used a triangle brush and shaped like set of scattered triangles at 30 pixel diameter. Except the edges are very pixellated. The HARDNESS option on the panel is greyed out. I need the edges to be almost vector-like or sharp edges.
Under Brush Tip Shape, I've got Shape Dynamics and Scattering active. If that matters?!
When I click on some of the other Brush choices, sometimes the HARDNESS option is active. Sometimes it is greyed out. I don't know why the difference.
How can I get the HARDNESS option to be active for my custom brush?

Hello!
That slider only works on the Stock round brushes that are meant to be softened.
As Christoph pointed it out, you would need to create a big, hard edged brush and reduce it.
You are maybe getting pixelated edges because the brush you created was small, then you upsized it.

Including Custom Brushes At Start Up

How can I set my custom brushes so that they are available at start up?
I am using Illustrator CC on a Mac OS 10.8.4
Thanks

You can edit one your new document profiles, then when you make a new document with that profile they are in there.
/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_US/New Document Profiles/Basic CMYK.ai
Or you can save a brushes library, open that , and set that to persistent. (all found in the brushes flyout menu). Persistent will show on the new one you create only, as that option is not on the default.

Can I set the default save location in text edit to dropbox?

I'm happy with dropbox for now and want to set the default save folder to a dropbox folder but I cannot see how to do this.
Can it be done? Or do I need a 3 party text editor?
Thanks
Tom

You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

Hi,

Plz give me the details.
Rerards,

Hello Rani
I assume you have an ALV grid displayed within a custom control. For this ALV grid you want to be able to save layouts.
Assuming that you are using class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID you have set the following IMPORTING parameters when calling method go_grid->set_table_for_first_display:
" Fill variant parameter with following values:
gs_variant-report = syst-repid.
gs_variant-handle = 'GRID'. " 4-digit handle; required if you have multiple ALV grids
- I_SAVE = 'A' " allows saving of user-specific and global layouts
- IS_VARIANT = gs_variant

Uwe
