Photoshop brushes get deleted when updating to newest Photoshop

[djsharkbeat]

I have been using photoshop for a few months now and everytime I use creative cloud to update photoshop, my custom brushes get deleted.  Is there a way to ensure they will be there after the updates are finished? thanks for your help!!

When you press update you can see this in the Creative Cloud App:

and when you open your updated version for the first time it will prompt you to migrate.

but if you didn't make any of it you can use:

Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets

to migrate your presets.

Just letting you know that the Photoshop Beta version still deletes everything despite having selected the Advanced options. When I went to select Edit/Presets/Migrate Presets, Migrate Presets is grayed out so that option doesn't work either.

Just to let you know, there is a bug in the Photoshop beta version and even though these advanced options are checked, they still delete your brushes and settings.

If you are using Windows, navigate to

C:\Users\[You User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe 

where you will see previous versions of the full release version

Open the full release version folder anbd click on Presets\brushes and you'll find your .abr files.  Copy them across to where you need them, and you are good to go.
