P: How do I see just the Brush Tip Preview?

What is the password for the video. It will not let me view.

Yeah, part of the finding your way around that I mention. ROFL. And you're welcome. I'm finding this update makes a HUGE difference to my workflow by dramatically cutting the time I spent on locating brushes, leaving me less frustrated and with more time to experiment—but there is that getting used to it time. . .

I found the Legacy Brushes (I had to "restore" legacy brushes, which is horrible wording, since the Adobe CC was a new/clean install and never had them to begin with...) and was able to finally get to the advanced brush settings that had bristle settings (needed these because they are called out in a lesson plan for my students).  Thank you so much!

The Legacy Brushes set isn't Kyle's set of brushes.  If you open the Brushes panel menu, below Get More Brushes and Converted Legacy Tool Presets is Legacy Brushes.  If you look closely at my screenshot, you can see that Legacy Brushes contains several sets of brushes. Those are all the sets of brushes that shipped with earlier versions of PS. They're not all installed by default.  What you're looking for is that set, so when you open it, you can find the dry and wet media brushes that ship with Photoshop. Then look for the bristle brush thumbnail icons and click on one.

If you want to know what brushtools are used (converted), be sure to turn on Show Additional Preset Info in the Brushes menu. Then, IF a tool preset has been converted, the icons will show not only the tip (name, stroke), but the tool that was saved with the preset and a color, if one was saved.  For instance, I have John's Artists Brushes (John Derry, who promoted traditional brushes in PS), and his tips are all the bristle brush tips with the Mixer Brush badge, and several have a swatch badge showing the color.

It's a great update to Brushes and Brush Settings, but does take some time to find your way around.

And if you don't have Legacy Brushes in your Brushes menu, then yes, something is definitely wrong.

Do I not have the correct brushes and need to download them somewhere to get to brushes that have bristle settings?  Thanks for any info

I still can't see those brush settings to get to bristles, here is screen shot of what I have, thanks for any help

> how do i get to the detailed brush settings to change things like bristles?  I can't find that now?>

With Legacy Brushes loaded (found about in the middle of the Brushes popup menu), look in the Dry or Wet Media (unless you have brushes from other sources that were based on these), choose a brush, then open Brush settings and there you'll find the settings.
