Missing components in preset manager?

[SteveJM]

Hi.

I've been using Lightroom for quite a long time, but only recently started to do more in Photoshop.

I'm trying to follow the instructions to use a downloaded action (Scribble art ), and it tells me to use the brushes in Preset Manager, but I've only got  Contours and Tools in there.

What else, as well as brushes, should be in there and how can I get them?

Cheers.

Steve.

Hi!

There are quite a number of presets! Here is a list from my PS application folder. These are already installed and available inside PS.

The difference is how you access them. 

Here is a help doc on using Brush presets:

And, here is some more information regarding presets from the Adobe Help library: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/presets.html

Presets have changed over the years, and if you are not familiar with them, I would recommend takinga few minites and reading through the above articles.
