Hello.

I have opened up my LRC, all my pregviously purchased presets are still in it but the brushes are missing. If I go into settings and choose Show all other lighttoom prestets-lightroom-local adjustment brushes....They are still all inthre. I treid to reinstall them, replace them, still once closing the LRC and reopening, getting a brush tool then go to the custom ...they are not there.

If I go back to an older catalog, they are there again....

Any idea? Thank you!

Go to 'Catalog Settings'. If the option to store presets with the catalog is enabled, then disable it. Restart Lightroom and see if your presets are back.

If they are there when you open an older catalog, then that suggests that you may (inadvertently) have enabled 'Store Presets with this Catalog' for the current catalog.

If this is some type of Cloud syncing- it might be a problem.

Hi @Lili33429501ng2j! Sorry to hear your brushes have gone missing — that’s definitely frustrating.

Could you let me know which version of Lightroom Classic you’re using? Did this start happening after a recent update? And are all the missing brushes from the same creator or manufacturer?

Thanks so much!

Dear @Aleke.

Thank you for your response. Actually at already happened before the update, but then i updated to the newest version and it is still a problem. If I go back to older cataloge it is still there, but the current catalog missing all from all manufacturer. I tried reinstalling them, then reopening LRC but its just not working.
