Always save your custom presets somewhere far away from your app folders. 

Hi there,

Sorry that your custom brush library and actions in Photoshop are missing after a recent app update.

The Preferences in the Creative Cloud desktop were 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 backups of your user library to make copies of your preferences and presets. Locations can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html.

I'd recommend that you re-install the presets again. Let us know if this helps.

Thanks,

The big caveat to this is did you previously save your brushes and actions prior to upgrading?

If you did not, they may be gone.

Here are the locations:

Brushes

Mac: Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/Brushes

Win: Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

Actions

Mac: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

Win: Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
