I started noticing that everytime my PSCS5 goes through an update, it wipes out all my brushes... today it crashed and i went to re-start it and again my brushes have disappeared.. this never happened before, but lately it has been doing this... i get all my brushes online and had no problems with it early on untill couple of months ago when it went through couple of updates and the next day i came in - re-start it and noticed that all my brushes have gone... could someone please help...im sick of re-adding the brushes everytime this happens...
Have you ever saved your loaded Brushes (Edit > Preset Manager)?
Photoshop updates don't happen super often, and the updates don't affect your preferences or presets at all.
If you crash before you quit and your preferences are written - then you will lose the preferences you changed since you last successfully quit the application.
