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 CS5.1 brush scroll panel issue

Hello everyone,
Since last week I've been getting problems with photoshop. The brush panel has problems with scrolling, I have tried to fix it by doing a system restore, downgrading my video drivers and reinstalling photoshop. I also have tried to search for other people with the same problems. Unfortunatly, nobody seems to deal with this issue. I am suspecting that it is a problem within windows that is preventing photoshop from working normally... But I am not sure.
I also recorded the problem and posted it on youtube, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9LZgYjDGAI
Now, onto discribing the problem:
When I open photoshop this problem occurs right away, however... one panel always will work properly, this tends to switch constantly... When I try to switch between the two panels they start showing problems...
It happens every time that I open photoshop, but there are times where somehow, they work normally. It is very rare though.
I also tried to try and use Photoshop CS5 x64bit, but it crashes the moment it finishes loading.
I am using an: ASUS K73SV-TY081V notebook
OS:                     64-bit Windows 7 home premium
Processor:           Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
RAM:                   4 GB
Graphics Card:     Nvidia Geforce GT 540M
Is there anybody who deals or has dealt with the same or similar problems?

Hello Noel,
Thank you for the help, It gave me an idea of how I could test it, so I switched the graphics to my omboard card and photoshop works fine now.
It is indeed the drivers of the Nvidia card, I tested the last two driver up-dates which didn't seem to work so I will keep looking.
Thank you again for the help!

Photoshop CS5.5 Brush Transfer / Opacity won't Disable

Now, I assure you, I have tried to disable this feature several times in a row, but as soon as I change the Opacity Jitter to "Off" and start painting, it turns on again. I tried unchecking "Transfer" all together without any luck. Even the brush preview on the pallet show opacity linked to pressure. Attached is a picture of my pallet.
How do I fix this? Can I submit this as a bug?
Stats:
Photoshop CS5.5 v12.1 x64 , Windows 7 x64, Cintiq 21UX with 6.1.6-7 driver.

Make sure you don't have The override for brush opacity enabled in the tool options bar.

Photoshop CS5 Dual brushes

It seems that Photoshop CS5 doesn't display the dual brush that is selected when you select a brush from the libraries. It indicates there should be a dual brush by a tick but no brush tip is selected.
Am I missing something or is this just a bug that needs sorting out still?
Thanks

SSprengel's right.
What kind of video card do you have? It's always a good idea to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they have released updated drivers.
I run Photoshop CS5 across two 1600 x 1200 monitors, by the way, without problems.

Photoshop CS5 strange brush jumping bug

Strange brush bug with Photoshop CS5 Extended English (Updated to 12.0.2 latest).
Youtube link of my screen recording
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwUi35TMYo
When I first start (quick) brushing on top right, the strokes appear at bottom right.... No shape dynamics, no scattering, just plain soft round brush in black. If I stroke slowly, the behavior is OK.
This is very frustrating and appears very often for me if stroke quickly, so I can't use smudge which is often done quickly.
Windows 7 (Simplified Chinese). Nvidia GTS 450 but OpenGL has been disabled. Graphic driver updated to latest. No brush scattering, no shape dynamics.
Please help, thanks in advance.

This subject shows up here from time to time.
Unfortunately, I don't recall reading about any specific fix that works.
Usually the advice is update video drivers, check all other software running on the system for possible interference, change wireless mouse batteries, try a wired mouse, completely remove mouse or tablet drivers and reinstall, make sure nothing is moving over an unused trackpad, etc.
Perhaps it would help if you listed your OS and what input device you're using.

HELP!! Photoshop CS5.1 Brush lag?!

Okay, I have been doing every fix I can possibly come across concerning this horrid lag...Whenever making long strokes with ANY textured brushes (where the "Textures" feature is in use via Brush Presets), I get a horrible, horrible lag when making long brush strokes...Any other brush is fine, as long as its not textured. I have turned off OpenGL, have updated PS to 12.1, using two scratch disks, etc etc. My computer is pretty beastly as I built it for high performance gaming (8 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate, SSD/HDD combo, Nvidia Geforce 560 TI, etc) so I am at a loss as to why I am experiencing this issue... I even tried rolling back my Wacom driver, but then I realized this doesn't matter since the lag still occurs when using a mouse as well. I could obviously un-tick the Textured feature, but that's not what I'm going for...Strangely enough, I never experienced this problem when I was working on CS5 on a Vista computer with much less fancy parts in it. Could it be an issue with Windows 7 or CS5.1...? If anyone was able to resolve this issue, please respond, it's very maddening to work this way...

Thank you so much for the response and that link...I did a few of the tests and found that the laggy brushes happen to only lag under certain circumstances. Such as, they only lag extremely at large canvas dimensions/resolutions, and if the texture being used is very "fine" and at a low scale. I don't know why I didn't think of that...seemed too simple a conclusion I suppose.

What's the status of Win 7 64 Photoshop CS5 multiple prints?

I notice the thread on this goes back to May 2010 and it is now Feb 2011. The number of copies print setting is mostly ignored and prints just one. Sometimes though the petty little officious bureaucrat that is inside CS5 remembers you asked for 14 copies some time back and instead of printing 1 it now prints 14. It frequently loses the printer portrait vs landscape and has a particular fondness for reseting the paper size to A4 which I have never specified nor owned.
I have a new install of CS5 extended Master Collection on a quad Intel CPU 12gb memory Windows 7 64 bit. Likely irrelevant, th printer is either Samsung ML-2855ND B&W laser, or Epson 3800 photo printer.
I have all the Windows updates and all the Photoshop CS5 updates.
Any suggestions please -beyond going back to XP and CS3 on another machine?

There is no selectable field within Photoshop CS5 "print settings" that I can see for selecting the number of copies. It displays the number of copies there, yes, but it is not a field that you can change. There is then only one place where # of copies is entered and that is on "Print".
I actually have no problem with printing just one copy since there is on the "File" drop down menu a "Print One Copy" function just beneath "Print".
The seemingly random reset, while still in Photoshop CS5 with Epson 3800 selected, back to A4 paper/portrait/Samsung ML-2855 is annoying but correctable by checking print settings before every print. What I was unable to get consistent was multiple copies when that number was changing between prints. The first time it would consistently ignore 14 and print just one, then it would print 16 instead of 14 where 16 was a number I selected a few prints back. Bizarre.
I have just completed 450 prints and achieved that by "Click, File drop down, Cursor down Click, select Print One Copy, cursor back to top......
This tedious process is physically wretched and has caused some amount of emotion with accompanying language which I won't repeat for fear of upsetting anybody's delicate sensibilities.
Whatever the esoteric reason for this failure that months of work by Adobe's finest have been unable or unwilling to solve, the workaround is simple. The task of repeating a function is accomplished by a FOR or WHILE loop. Take the "Print One Copy" function and NumberCopies thus:
i = 0;
for (i=0; i < NumberCopies;) {
Print One Copy i++;

Photoshop CS5 Multiple Problems

I have recently loaded Photoshop CS5 and I have found some functioning problems. When I am in Bridge and go to Tools>Photoshop>either Load into Photoshop Layers, Merge to HDR or Photomerge, the processes start and progress to a certain point, then I get an error message stating that "Photoshop Quit Unexpectedly." This is in 64 bit mode. If I switch to 32 bit, then the same options function properly.
In addition, I found that the ability to combine two open files in Photoshop by clicking and dragging a layer from one file to the Tab of the other file does not work at all. When I try it, nothing happens.
Has anyone had similar experience and if so, was there a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Herman R

Yes I too have the same problem. When using CS5 in 64 bit mode and opening two or more NEF Raw images in Merge to HDR Pro or Photomerge, PS crashes after 10 seconds or so, doesn't happen in 32 bit mode.
I'm using a 2 x 2.8 Quad Core Mac Pro with 10Gb ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 Graphic card

Photoshop CS5 Extended -- Optional Plug-ins, Extensions and Presets

I am using Photoshop CS5 Extended.
I downloaded the Optional Plug-ins, Extensions and Presets file, unpacked it the desktop. All I wanted was the SGI file format, which works very well and the legacy textures.
As per the PDF file I copied the "Textures directory" to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Presets
The instructions stated just restart Photoshop and the deal was done.
Only it didn't work. The legacy textures are not available in the texturizer

Have you tried changin the texture selector using the sidearrows?

Photoshop CS5 doesn't have same printer presets as other CS5 products

I am trying to print from Photoshop CS5 to a Konica Bizhub c451 printer that uses account tracking and user authentication. But, when attempting to print from photoshop CS5 the printer preset doesn't have the same options (doesn't allow us to put in owner information) as the other CS5 products. For example I am able to print from Illustrator CS5 but not Photoshop CS5. I am also able to print from Photoshop CS3 on the same computer but not CS5. Any ideas?

Yes, post in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues.

Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.
Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.
I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit
I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.
I have rebooted my computer several times.
I have ran as administrator.
As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll
You guys are my last chance.. THANK !
