Can't Use Brushes from CC Library

I have added some brushes into my CC library and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to use them in Photoshop.

I'm looking at them in Photoshop, in the CC Library, but clicking on them does nothing to change my current brush, nor does it add it anywhere into my brushes or presets. Right clicking and adding them to the document does nothing either.

Any ideas?

Do you have option Use in Document when you right click on Brush in Libraries panel. If yes what is happening afterwards? And by the way, Photoshop version is in question?

Yes, I have Use in Document, but it doesn't do anything when clicking on it. My brush stays the same.

Well I have a similar problem. I have gradients that I created and are all listed in a gradient folder in my library panel in PS 22.5 (on a Mac with Catalina). It won't let me use them at all. I can't figure out how to get them into my gradient panel to see if that would work. I created them on my Ipad I think in Adobe Capture or Camera and uploaded them to the library.

Strangely I have a lot of brushes in my library panel that are not in my brushes panel but it lets me use those. I mostly downloaded those from Adobe so maybe that is the difference?

I hope someone has a good answer for us. I wonder if you tracked down the brushes and manually added them to your brushes panel if they would then work.

Everything you create with Capture on your iPad is saved to a Library. That includes gradients and brushes. You will find them in the Library panel, not in the brushes or gradient panel.
