It’s a common problem: you’ve installed Photoshop on your computer, but when you go to use it, your brushes aren’t showing up in the program. There are a few possible explanations for why this might be happening.
One possibility is that the brushes are installed in the wrong location. Photoshop looks for brushes in specific folders, and if the brushes are not in those folders, they will not show up in the program. To check to see if this is the case, open the “Preferences” dialog box and go to the “File Locations” tab.
Under “Brushes,” check to see where Photoshop is looking for brushes. If the folder listed is not where your brushes are located, click “Browse” and navigate to the correct folder. Once you have done this, restart Photoshop and see if your brushes now appear.
Another possibility is that you are using an older version of Photoshop. Some brush packs are only compatible with certain versions of Photoshop, so if you are using an older version of the program, your brushes may not show up.
To check which version of Photoshop you are using, open the “About Photoshop” dialog box from the Help menu. If you need to update to a newer version of Photoshop, you can download it from Adobe’s website.
Another possibility is that the brushes are hidden behind another palette. To check this, go to the ‘Window’ menu and select ‘Show Brushes’. This will bring up the ‘Brushes’ palette in front of any other palettes that may be obscuring it.
If you still can’t see your brushes, make sure that they are not set to invisible in the ‘Brushes’ palette. To do this, click on the small triangle in the top right corner of the palette and select ‘Show All Brushes’.
Finally, it’s also possible that the brush pack you installed is corrupted or damaged. This can happen if you download a brush pack from an unreliable source, or if the file becomes corrupted during the download process.
If you suspect that this is the case, try downloading the brush pack again from a different source. If that doesn’t work, try removing the brush pack from your computer and then reinstalling it.
If none of these solutions work, then unfortunately it’s likely that there is something wrong with your installation of Photoshop itself. In this case, your best bet would be to uninstall and then reinstall the program.
