How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6? Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

CC 2019 removed all the square brushes... so.. Much shorter brush menu.

I still need a square brush.

The square brushes should be in the "Legacy Brushes" folder once you add it.

I don't believe there is a square brush among the sets that ship with Photoshop, but there are plenty to download, and it is super easy to make one.

Just drag with the rectangular Marquee tool, fill with black on a new layer, and go Edit > Define brush preset

I found it and added the steps in my Photoshop Notes:

Selecting a square brush: Choose brush tool, click the down arrow in the number box upper left corner of the screen, click on the gear symbol upper right of little box, select your brush style

OK, glad you found them. Unfortunately I can't tell what the included brush sets are because I have close to a 100 sets in my drop down list, and that is after ruthlessly culling out sets I think I'll never use. Which is why we see a lot of people asking for better brush management.
