SamSteele Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Photo 1.9.2.1035, Win 7 I seem to have created a monster: a rectangular brush I cannot get rid of. I also tried to create an image brush following all of James' steps in his tutorial bur could not see it being saved. Then I tried exporting something the pixel layer and it must have ended up somewhere but I can't import it. Confused? So am I. It's all quite a mess, really. My omnipresent monster never goes away, even after editing and I have no other brushes to choose from. Where are the brushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Is your Brushes panel showing the Basic category: If it's showing any other category (it may read "Brushes"), then try clicking on the name and choosing Basic from the pop-up menu. Alternatively and as very much a last resort, you could try Preferences - Miscellaneous - Reset Brushes: Screenshot is from macOS but it should be similar on Windows. But beware - it will remove any purchased brushes and revert to the original set of basic brushes that ship with Photo. At your own risk...

SamSteele Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 This is all I have to choose from: and this: I tried resetting brushes but nothing changed. I also have some sub-brushes in there (whatever they are) but can't delete them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 In your first screenshot it looks like you've clicked on the multi-line "hamburger" icon on the right edge. If so, don't do that. Those options should be covering up the stuff you need to see. If you didn't click on that icon, you might try: From the menu, View > Studio and uncheck Brushes. Then View > Studio and check Brushes. If that doesn't fix it, try View > Studio > Reset Studio Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you click here: It should bring up a list of categories. (Could you also post a grab of your Brushes panel in its current state - ie nothing clicked or selected?)

SamSteele Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 I did manage to get my Brushes panel to show by un-clicking Studio-> Brushes (thanks, guys) and then clicking on Studio-> Brushes again. Here is my current brushes panel (more brushes at bottom). Why there is such a huge gap at the start, I don't know. But it's progress ... of a sort. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
