P: Brush Panel keeps resetting [2019]

you probably had less that 2 gb before, but once you got over 2 gb it would reset everytime you started ps again.  

I have one file that is 1.9 gb that has all of my brushes, the folder format saves with it, so if i ever need to load it, then it is easy.  When i need extra brushes that are not in that 1.9, i can load them also, but must remember to remove them before I close PS so that it does not revert to default again because of the size.

the PS techs even contacted me to get details of the issue, once I gave them all of the details I never heard back from them.

Even though it was always fine before? I’ve actually removed loads since having to load them back in every time. Yes so frustrating

yes, it is a known problem.  over 2gb and it resets.

Every time I open photoshop it has deleted all of the things I have imported. I have only started to have this issue with the last two updates. It’s almost like it resets it back to a new uploaded app every time. It’s very frustrating. Please can somebody help

Hello everybody,

 

I am using the PS CC 2020 version 21.1.1 and have found the following problem:

 

If I import several brush or picture brush packages, the size of which is more than 2 GB, PS seems to update the "brushes.psp" file incorrectly when I quit!

 

Now the "brushes.psp" file has a size of e.g. 2.6 GB but after restarting Photoshop again all of my imported brushes are disappeared. Only the standard brushes are visible.

 

If I only import several brush packages that are smaller than 2 GB together, it still seems to work!

 

Has anyone noticed anything similar here?

 

Thank you for your answers.

 

Best regards

Frank

Cheers 😄

Thank you Besim,

I was seriously about to go postal on this thread. Because I have been experiencing this all night and was going to be ticked off if this was an unaddressed issue  But, your response. I think solved the problem for me.  It's a shame that some of these functions cannot remain persistent through multiple means. But, I guess it's a good thing too.

Thanks again.,

i would have to backtrack to find where I saw the 2gb limit, but it apparently is a known issue.  if your loaded brushes are close to that limit, i guess its possible that loading one or two more could push you over and cause the reset.  since I limited my brushes loaded to 1.8 gb, I have not had any resets since this original post.  If you back up all of your brushes and check the file size I think you will be able to recreate this with no problem.

this is a problem Adobe have known about since 2017...ive reported it often. they always say it will be fixed in the next update but it isnt.

Nah it's okay. Thanks for trying to help! Your suggestion is definitely helpful for people having issues with their brush settings seemingly not working they way they planned.
