Missing brushes

Since the last photoshop update I have lost my brushes when I right click in my working document, there is nothing. But they are in the control panel. An idea ?

Many thanks

Were your custom brushes in a group? If so, did you save the group like Kevin asked? That creates the .abr file and saves it to a drive.

I don't know the file structure with OSX, but Windows keeps some data from previous versions when you update

It looks like I have all my .abr files in the 2021 folders. AFAIK It still won't find your custom presets if they were saved in a group, but it's worth a look.

Many thanks for for your solutions, unfortunately the PC structure is not the same on Mac, I looked everywhere, but there are no older versions, I looked in my Time Machine, but saw nothing. I hoped in the Presets, but there was nothing left to import. In short, I re-installed an 8-month-old backup of my brushes, and I would save each time I work on the brushes. Too bad, Photoshop had accustomed us in recent years not to lose anything without being asked. Thank you for taking the time to find solutions.

Reset your preferences and see if the default brushes come back. I highly recommend that you save your custom brushes far away from your applications folder. Mine are in a folder on Dropbox called Adobe Extras with subfolders for brushes, actions, etc. You can also save brushes to your libraries. I have a bunch of Kyle's brushes saved in libraries for quick access and I don't have to install them to use them.

If you had custom brushes - did you save your brushes prior to updating?

Otherwise go to the drop down menu in the panel and choose Legacy Brushes.

That will load the default brushes.

Thanks for your comment, but if you look at my screenshots you will see that my brushes are all there in the control panel as I explained. But, they don't appear when I right click in my document.

Having brushes in the previous panel and saving are two different things.

Creating brushes creates temporary files until you save them out as .abr files.
