Hi, I wanted to ask if theres a way to get my default brushes in Photoshop back? I downloaded : ''Kyle's Sample Brush Pack'' a few days ago, but now that I want to go back to Photoshop's default brushes they're gone! They're not in my library either. Please help.

On the panel in the right column, what is the name of the group of Brushes  you are in? The latest default Brushes sys include some Kyle brushes.

The other thing to check is previous versions.  The file path below is for Windows 10

All Photoshop file locations can be found here

 

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

 

As you can see, there are all the previous version that were installed on your system since the last OS install.  When I installed the current version, I had to drag the brush groups from the previous version Presets folder, to the current one.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
