Hi. I have loads of Photoshop brushes and I have exported all my brushes to a separate folder on my drive, other than the location in c:\users\username\app data \roaming\adobe\adobe photoshop 2021\presets\Brushes. I have also saved my brushes to my Creative Cloud Library which gives me great access to all my brushes.

 

Just create a new Photoshop Brushes folder wherever you save stuff on whatever drive, and export your brushes to this folder. Then when you open Photoshop again, just import those brushes you've saved to that external folder and you'll find that this will fix your problem with your brushes.

Hope this helps.

I looked into trying that however the problem ran into is that when you go to import brushes if you click on a floder it just opens the older. Also PS will seamingly only allow you to import one ABR at a time.

Sorry about the typos i lost my glasses this morning. On thing i did try that i was sure would work that flopd on me was going to  c:\users\username\app data \roaming\adobe\adobe photoshop 2021\presets\Brushes and placing my brush folder however after closing and reopening PS when i went to brushes the folder i placed was not available on the list of factory bruhes.

"placing my brush folder"

 

Did you placed folder with .abr files inside Presets folder? That is the problem, copy all .abr files and paste not folder.
