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.

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 ?

How do i use blue skies in smart brushes

as i asked above, i have tried using the blue skies that i have found in smart brush as i like the idea of making a washed out sky blue'er , im not sure if im doing it right, thanks for any advice given.

Hi,
It would be more helpfull if you upload the photo here.
rest what you can do is,
Select Blue skies from smart brush preset, ake sure you have Smart brush and not detailed smart brush selected. Now start painting it over the washed out sky area. This willl make it a blue sky as you make a selection. It works like a quick selection tool and will select the sky area automatically as youdrag.
See how it chages your image!!

Presets smart brush

When i try to use the smart brush in Photoshop 11,the preset box comes up basically empty ,can some one help me on this?
thanks--Tom

Reset the smart brush tool. To do that, look for a box with lines in it on the tool's option bar, then reset.
If that does not fix it, suggest that you reset preferences via Edit>preferences>General. Look for this:
Reset, then close PSE and launch again.

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.

PSE9, Mac OS X, Smart brush and Effects not working

I have PSE6 for Mac OS X, and I have d/l the trial version of PSE9, to see if it's worth the upgrade. In PSE9 when I bring up the Smart Brush tool, there are no presets or options, just an empty box, and there is a message saying I can't use the tool because I haven't selected any options. I have tried resetting the tool, and all tools, but those actions don't help. In addition, the Effects box is empty. Anyone know how to access the options, or is this a bug with the Mac version?
I note that both these issues have been brought up before in this forum, but so far no-one has provided any answers.

Hi Richard
The tool should work without Elements+ but some users have experienced problems with missing functions and drop down menu on the options bar both on Windows and Mac.
I’m sorry a fresh install does not appear to work as it has cured some peoples problems.
I know it’s no consolation but the tool is not that smart. It simply adds whistles and bells to the quick selection tool by automating adjustment layers/blending modes. It’s then possible to make further tweaks to the adjustment layer. PSE6 is capable of doing the same.
I hardly ever use the smart brush tool personally, but the Layer Mask and Content Aware healing brush was sufficient for me to buy PSE9.

What preset have you selected?
Can you post a screenshot showing the distortion.

Define brush preset problem?

I'm trying to turn a logo into a brush but the "define brush presets is greyed out", what am i missing here? I've created brushes before but can't get this one to work, not sure why. Any suggestions?

You must select the logo first (or an area round it).

All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!

I work with Ps Creative Suite 6.
Suddenly all the pressure sensitive brush presets are gone- leaving me with only hard brushes that produce 1-size-only brush strokes.
No matter what brush I choose, I can't manage to make them pressure sensitive now.
These (red arrows) are the brush presets which are now gone:
This is what is now left:
Can anyone tell me why they vanished for no apparent reason?
I work with those brushes 97% of the time, I really need them back!
Thank you!

Using smart brush details elsewhere in your picture

Years ago when using other photo manipulation products I can recall adding clouds to sky & then because the picture had water in it, I flipped the new sky image, made it partially transparent & had the new sky reflect in the water.
I was wondering if that now its so easy to say add a sunset by using the smart brush tool that the new layer which was created as a mask & adjustment layer as well could also be used as the basis if adding the reflection into the water. Is this possible & if so how is it done?
And while I'm thinking about clouds can I save different clouds without the balance of the picture, (transparent background) for latter reuse in other pictures?

Hi,
For the first problem, you can always make a sunset reflection in the Sea(water)
what you need to do is:
Apply the Sunset preset on the sky first. Select the Sky and alone and create a layer via copy of the sky. Now merge the sunset adjustment layer and the sky layer .and invert it vertically to cover the sea.Decrease the opacity of the layer to create a sunset reflection in the Sea. Add Liqufy filter to give some waves to the reflection.
For the second thing, if you want to save some clouds for future use, you just need to cut out the clouds from the existing images and save them to a new image with transparent background. Make sure you save them as a Png, psd, Tiff or Giff. These formats will preserve the transparency, while saving the image as Jpeg will fill the transparent pixels with white color. After you have theclouds saved, when you need to add them to any image, you just need to open the cloud image along with the other image and drag the cloud image to the target image.
You will have the cloud onto your new image.

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

[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.

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.

Premiere CC presets missing and Can't Open Sequence error

I'm having a couple problems with Premiere.
I was working on a project that's been just fine for a while, but now when I try to open it, Premiere gives the error:
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
Also, in any project when I'm creating a new sequence, there are no useful presets. I found the sequence presets folder, and they're all in there, but they don't show up from within Premiere.
Also, when I import AVCHD .MTS files, I get video but no audio, even though they play ok in VLC
Solutions I have tried but which do not solve anything:
1. Sign out, restart Premiere, sign back in
2. Recreate the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and plug-in cache. (using shift/option combo)
3. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, reinstall premiere
4. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, create new user account, install premiere in that user account instead of original account
I am aware of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/features-presets-missing-premiere-pro.html
and this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Some pages I've come across have suggested running the cleaner script multiple times, but you can really only run it once, because after the first cleaning, when you run it again nothing shows up on the list to be cleaned. Are there still remnants of Adobe stuff left on my machine uncleaned by the cleaner script that I need to delete manually?
Has anyone else had this problem but not had any of the adobe-suggested solutions work for them and eventually fixed this?
This is Adobe Premiere CC 2014. I'm running it on a Mac Book Pro that's less than a year old, running OSX 10.9.5 w/ 16GB of memory.
This is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. I've spent most of the day troubleshooting this issue and all I want to do is edit my video. A cursory search of the internet shows that I am far from alone in having this problem. Also, reinstalling is not trivial because the download speeds where I am are slow.

Well, it took a long time, but I eventually got it working properly. All of the presets and codecs show up, I can import AVCHD files properly with audio, and the project I couldn't open before now opens fine, so it turned out not to be a corrupt project. It looks like the problem was that the cleaner script didn't actually clean everything it should have, and I had to do it all manually.
I uninstalled all of the Adobe Creative Cloud software, rebooted, ran the CC Cleanup script, and rebooted again.
Then I uninstalled Flash and ALL other Adobe software I had on my machine.
Then I used the Find Any File app to find every reference on my Mac to any file with "adobe" in the name--including system files--and deleted them and emptied the trash.
The only Adobe things I left on my machine were the Adobe RGB color profile and any Adobe fonts I had.
Empty the trash again, reboot again.
Then I used the CC installer to install Premiere and only Premiere (I didn't even install Adobe Media Encoder) because I didn't want to go through all that download time only to have it fail on me again.
And at long last it worked. Then I went back and installed Media Encoder, which didn't seem to break anything, so I went back and installed the other CC software I wanted on my machine, and things are working at last.
The "cleaner" script leaves a LOT of Creative Cloud-related files on your machine, which, in my opinion, means it's not a very effective "cleaner." It seems to want to leave a lot of preference files and other files whose purpose I don't know (but I deleted them anyway). There should at least be a checkbox somewhere on the cleaner that says "wipe absolutely everything related to Adobe off of my machine".
Thanks again for your suggestions, Neil.
