I have returned to compositing in photoshop and want a single type blade of grass brush.  I am puzzled by the brushes as I am sure the brushes used to appears in small boxes and some had a simple couple of blades of grasses, now the brush grasses are chunks.  Can anyone tell me where these old brushes have gone and how I can get back.

Adding to Nancy's comment, you need the Legacy brushes

 

After loading the Legacy Brushes, you'll find it has a bunch of sub-groups, so the easiest way to find the grass bruashes is to use the search bar.  You can see that Search also found a preset in Kyles Megapack.  There are around 700 presets in that group, and it's a nightmare finding individual presets in a group that large without using the search bar.

 

BTW  I am sure you know that the grass preset uses Foreground Background jitter, so set both colours accordingly.  I started with darker greens and built up the effect with lighter greens. 

 

If you want a more random, and untidy lawn, try checking 'Flip X Jitter' at the bottom of Shape Dynamics.

 

We'd love to see your lawn when you've grown it. Probably best not to water your keyboard.

Open the Brushes panel and click on the gear icon for more options.  See screenshot.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
