Hiya, 

 

My patterns, styles & brushes keep disappearing. They are sitting in my Adobe PS 2020 presets folder, but every time I close down my PS, they just keep disappearing and I'm having to re-import and re-organise. 

 

I'm sure I'm just missing a simple solution but can't figure it out. 

 

HELP!! I didn't have this issue when I was using PS 2019.

Same issue here. I have OS Monterey 12.0.1 on a M1 chip macbook. My photoshop is version 2023 24.6.0.

 

I had a bunch of Styles imported about 2 days ago and photoshop crashed on me then I re-open and try to continue my work only to find out my Styles are missing. All but the defaults and 2 Styles I imported a month ago. Is this like an automatic safe mode or something? I searched my folders and they arent there. Im afraid this will happen again. It took me hours to import all my Styles 1 by 1. Please Help!

Did you copy the asl-files into the correct folder in the first place? Then they should be available from the Panel’s dropdown menu. 

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2023/Presets/Styles

I'm having the same problem. Opened up PS today and all the patterns were gone. Managed to reimport some, but others have gone completely. It's pretty unnacceptable. I don't experience these types of issues with other software. Not good enough Adobe!!

 

What do you  mean re-set preferences?
