If you have customized your brush settings in Photoshop, and you want to revert to the default brush, there are a few ways to do this.

1. Click on the “Brushes” tab in the Photoshop toolbar, and select the “Default Brush” from the dropdown menu.

2. Click on the “Toolbox” tab, and select the “Brush” tool from the dropdown menu.

3. Click on the “Brush” tab in the “Tool Options” window, and select the “Default Brush” from the dropdown menu.

4. Click on the “Tool Options” button located in the lower-right corner of the “Brush” window, and select the “Default Brush” from the “Default Options” dropdown menu.

5. Click on the “Window” tab, and select the “Brushes” panel from the dropdown menu.

6. Click on the “Add New” button located in the lower-left corner of the “Brushes” panel, and select the “Default Brush” from the “Add New” dropdown menu.

7. Click on the “Browse” button located in the lower-right corner of the “Brushes” panel, and select the “Default Brush” from the “Browse” dropdown menu.

8. Click on the “OK” button located in the lower-right corner of the “Brushes” panel, and Photoshop will save your default brush settings.

PRO TIP: If you are experiencing issues with your default brush in Photoshop, we recommend resetting your Photoshop preferences. Please note that this will reset all of your preferences and customizations in Photoshop, so you may want to back up your preferences before resetting. To reset your Photoshop preferences, please follow these steps:

1. Quit Photoshop
2. Go to the folder where Photoshop stores its preferences. On a Mac, this is /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings/; on Windows, this is \Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Settings\.
3. Rename the Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings file to Old Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings.
4. Launch Photoshop
