Hi,

all my over the last few month downloaded and installed brushes are gone after the recent Photoshop Update! Where are they? I did not delete them and I can not find them in the brushes panel.

Where did Photoshop store my brushes when I installed some downloaded or custom made brushes? How is the path to this custom installed brushes if i imported them, because I have several time machine backups of the last few weeks, where my installed brushes are for shure included, but I do not know, where they are.

In Application/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019/Presets/Brushes there are only "Converted Legacy Tool Presets.abr" and "Legacy Brushes.abr" but none of my huge collection of other brushes!

Is there another location where my installed brushes has been stored?

Please help me, do I have to install them all again?

Hi pp4841592,

It seems that the Preferences in Creative Cloud desktop was left marked checked when you updated the app. To keep or not keep prior version preferences (which includes presets, brushes, actions, workspaces), make sure that's unchecked: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html#Autoupdate?mv=product&mv...

Otherwise, make back ups of your user library to make copies of y

Hi Akash,

thank you so much 🙂 🙂 ... I could restore all my brushes from the time machine backup by fetching back the user library preferences. I am so happy, thank you.
