I'm on a temporary laptop and have uploaded Photoshop from Adobe Suite, to which I'm a subscriber, but the new, temporary PS app doesn't have all of the "Kyle's Watercolor Brushes" I was previously using. How can and where I import?

Yes, that was discontinued. Possibly because of how often settings are changed from one version to the next. I wonder if there is a workaround though.

I am forever mentioning that I keep presets in a central location in a My Documents folder, and place a shortcut to that folder in the relevant preset folder. This lets me share the same presets between all versions (current release, beta and 22.2 for Lighting Effects), and keeps them safe from major update glitches. I wonder if you could make that central location in one of the numerous cloud storage locations we seem to have nowadays? I can't think why not, but I suspect it would give you a performance hit.

Can you tell us any more about the particular watercolor brushes you have lost?
How long ago did you lose them? If recently, then check the previous version.

Hi Randy. No problem. from the Brushes panel click on the hamberger pop out menu and then Get More Brushes. You'll find a ton of additional sets including the Water Colour set.

Thanks for the reply. I'd already done that and, yes, a good number of
extra brushes appeared as options, but never the precise watercolor brush
I'd been using on my original laptop. I saw once that Adobe used to allow
us to sync such that Photoshop used by one computer could mimic or be
synced to another computer, such that the same resources and preferences
would be available. Did Adobe discontinue offering that?
