Photoshop CC Brush presets missing

When I try to load preset brushes in PS CC, none of the sets (.ABR) that are in the presets folder show up. Why?

Are you using Edit > Presets > Preset Manager ? If so, do you see the brush icons there?
Does the same problem happen when you try to load Custom Shapes ?

Problem: Photoshop CS5 Brush Preset pops up only at Monitor 1

I have a problem with my Photoshop CS5 Version and my Multimonitoring Setup.
I have 2 Monitors and if i paint in a Picture shown at Display 2, trying to choose another Brush Preset with Right-Mouseclick, the Brush Preset Window Pops up on Display 1 and not like it was in CS4 in place of the mouse cursor!
Same thing at my office with a 3 Monitor Setup! Brush Preset pops aup always on Display 1.
Any help? Is it a bug or is there a setting i do not know?
BR

None of you with this problem?
Help would be nice cause my 2nd display is a tablet display for drawing and I would like to use the brush preset right next to the cursor!

Photoshop CS6 Brush Preset Picker Problem

Hello
I'd like to know if it's possible to tidy up my PSCS 6 Brush Preset Picker? Please see image.
My brushes are installed here: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit)/Presets/Brushes
I can't seem to find any other location that would be causing this issue. It's only happened since I installed CS6.
Thanks for any help or advice
Diane

Thanks for the response. I realise there are duplicates. My question is how do I delete the duplicates from the picker? They're aren't duplicates in the actual folders. I've also organised the brushes into folders, restarted photoshop, rebooted and the problem is the same.
Anyone know where the duplicates might be located on my pc? Or how to delete them in the picker?
Thanks

Smart Brush Presets Missing

My installation of Elements 11 does not have any Presets available for the Smart Brush. How do I repair this? I am using Win7.
Thx

Go to %programdata%\adobe\photoshop elements\11.0\Locale\<locale>\
Delete "Mediadatabase.db3" file
Relaunch. It will take a few minutes before it is usable
If this fixes, you are good to go.
Else, you will probably have to uninstall and Install again.
But After uninstall and before Install, you would probably have to clean the installation folders mentioned below:
<Drive installed on> \ Program Files or Program Files(x86) \Adobe\ --> Delete the Photoshop Elements 11.0 Folder
%programdata%\adobe\photoshop elements\ --> Delete the 11.0 Folder
%appdata%\Adobe\Photoshop Elements --> Delete the 11.0 Folder
Now Install PSE. This should work.

I can't adjust my Brush Presets in Photoshop CC when using a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet.

Hi.... I hope someone out there can help me with this. I'm using Photoshop CC with an Wacom Intros 2 Tablet. I want my Brush Tool preset to be "Soft Round" so I can create smooth consistently shaped lines when clicking & dragging along the straight edge of a selection.
When I attempt to do this in the Brush Presets Panel it seems to be locked on "Shape Dynamics" with Pen Pressure control. Whenever I switch both of these off & try to create a different brush preset it will automatically jump back in to the same settings, even after locking the Brush Preset & creating a new Brush. What I end up with when clicking & dragging is a fine point at one end of the line & a soft round brush effect at the other end. Very frustrating! I don't have this problem when using a Mouse, and a friend who is using Photoshop CS5 with an Intros 2 tablet is not having this issue either. Is this just another one of the few glitches I've noticed with Photoshop CC? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.
Craig

You mean this?
Save it as a calligraphy brush.

Photoshop CS5.1 Multiple Brush Preset Import

Hi there,
I assumed that simply copying my brushes to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\Presets\Brushes would mean that these files would now be available to me. However, this is not working for me. Am I copying my brushes to the incorrect location? When I open up the Brush chooser panel, only the default brush sets are available.
Now, I can add brushes in the preset manager, but this only lets me add one set at a time and does not organize them for me into sets. There must be a better way to do this.
I'm on Win7 btw.
Thanks.

Copying them to the presets folder means they are available to load, it doesn't mean that they'll all get loaded at once!
Just use the menu on any of the brush pickers, the preset manager, or the brushes palette to load those files.

Photoshop crash every time I use my brush preset.

Hello,
So I made a simple brush of a leaf, and after I selected the presets that I want for this brush my photoshop crashed, this happened several times. Interestingly I noticed that if i did not choose color dynamics and change the fore/background jitter, photoshop is fine. But I want to be able to use this preset! Any ideas?
I've got the macbook pro and it's only half a year old, so I don't think it's a problem with ram or anything like that... =(
Julie

thanks for the advice!!
i trashed my preferences and it worked!
btw, you can find the brush presets in windows ->brush
and select options such as brush dynamics and color dynamics there. =)

Missing adobe brushes presets folder in OSX

Hello All,
I was trying to install some brushes into the Brushes Preset folder but the only folders in the "Adobe Photoshop CS6" folder in the tree below doesn't have it. It's only a couple of random looking folders. Any thoughts as to where it might be? I'm running OS 10.7.5 and CS6. Thoughts?
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes

The presets can go anywhere in the presets folder.
The subfolders are just for your organization.

[Photoshop CS6] Windows 7 - How to add "Brush Angle" circle to Brush Preset

How do I add this:
To here:
Thanks.

Reset your Brushes so you just have the default set loaded.
Set up a new brush using the Brush Presets panel. (Probably set Angle Jitter to 'Pen Tilt' but we don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve.)
Open the brushes panel, and click on the little cog icon, and then on New Brush preset. Give your new brush a meaningful name.
Last thing to do is 'Save brushes' in the same menu, and you new preset will always load with the default brush set. Or save it with a custom brush set. Whatever works best for you.

Photoshop CC Not Remebering Brush Preset Color

Hi everyone,
im having an issue with CC with my brush presets not remembering the color. I've created 4 brush presets (see pics for settings) of which i checked on the "Include Color" to include the default black & white for every brush preset.
aside from the opacity and flow (marked by the two numbers following the brush name respectively) the brush presets are identical. they're all the same size and have all the same tip shapes. However, the program is not remembering the color of the brushes and always defaults to black/black or white/white.
i've gone as far as resetting all my preferences in CC and recreating my workspace, keyboard shortcuts and menus with no luck. these brushes always default to the black/black or white/white brush color.
please help, this is a really annoying bug i just can't figure out.

hey M Shaw,
yes, im trying to set the both the default Foreground/Background color in the specific Tool Presets as the system default (Black/White).
In other words, i'd like to default the color to Black Foreground/White Background every time i choose one of my Brush Tool Presets.
I work in and out of masks frequently so i like having the default Brush Tool Preset colors to be Black & White. That way, i can just toggle between my Foreground & Background color to work within the mask. the issue im having is that when i do choose one of my Brush Tool Presets, it's for some reason not remembering my Black & White preference. it seems to default to black & black. does that help? i hope im explaining myself okay:p

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!

How do I change the folder that Photoshop gets my presets from?

First and foremost, I'm using Photoshop CS6, and I'm running Windows 7. I have a boatload of presets (brushes, styles, custom shapes, et cetera). I'm currently running Photoshop from a second, internal hard drive which has more space. Currently, Photoshop gets my presets from C:/Users/[nameredacted]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets. But all of the presets I've acquired are in E:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets. I need Photoshop to point there.
How do I do that? Thank you in advance!

Get a bigger hard drive. They're laughably cheap these days.
Whatever you do, don't point Photoshop to a secondary or additional plug-ins/presets folder. Ever since CS6 was released that can totally cripple Photoshop; just do a forum search.

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!

Why won't CS6 load brush shape dynamics from brush presets?

I have a bunch of saved brush presets that I use on multiple computers and photoshop versions.
In CS6 suddenly my brush presets won't load correctly when I pick a brush.
When I pick a brush I'll get all the correct brush settings EXCEPT for the Shape Dynamics. Shape Dynamics will remain the same throughout all my different brushes.
I've done all of the following steps and in various combinations with no result:
reloaded my brush presets
resaved my brush presets
re install my wacom drivers
unplugged and re-plugged my wacom
restarted my computer
update photoshop
I'm using Photoshop CS6 (64Bit) on windows 8
My tablet is a Intuos 5 touch L
Thanks beforehand

Two things to check
The Pressure Override could be enabled for size in the tool options bar
The Lock button to the right of Shape Dynamics in the Brush panel could be enabled

Make Brush preset doesn't match canvas angle

Hello!
I'm running a demo version of Photoshop Cs 5 on my brand spanking new Macbook pro 2.3 ghz with 8gb of ramalama.
I work on comics and I create a lot of preset brushes as I go, using an action script. I'll draw a path, and the script witll fill that path with black, make the path a selection and turn it into a brush preset.
Problem is, when I have the canvas rotated, and I make a brush preset, the new brush is not matching the angle the canvas is CURRENTLY rotated at.
For example, if I've rotated the canvas 45 degress clockwise, and create a brush, the brush will be 45 degress sounter clockwise to what I intended.
This is NOT the way CS 4 worked.
Any thoughts?

weird new info:
let me try to calrify again, cuz I know it's odd and difficult to visualize:
lets say im drawing a face and i want to add some feather using a brush pattern:
I create the shape, fill it with black and choose make brush, but it will create the brush canted at the angle in relation to the canvas at zero degress rotation.
Above is my canvas set at zero degrees. All is well.
Above, I've rotated the canvas and used the lasso tool to draw a shape.
Now Ive filled it with black and makingit a brush preset.
In the last image, you can see that the created brush preset was generated as if it had been created at 0 degress to the canvas instead of in relation to the screen! WTF indeed!
