1. Re: How do you move brushes/actions from CS4 to CS5?
gener7 May 5, 2010 3:19 PM (in response to ac361)It depends which folder you assigned them to,but as an example: Program Files > Adobe > Photoshop CS4 > Presets > Brushes
Select your custom brush sets using the Shift arrow keys or Ctrl-click with your mouse to select the sets that are scattered.
Ctrl-C to copy
Open the CS5 presets > Brushes folder from there and use Ctrl - v to paste the sets into that folder.
The best suggestion I have heard so far is to keep a seperate Presets folder for custom stuff in the Adobe folder and simply load them from the Brushes, Actions and Styles menu.
That way you can get at them no matter the version of CS.

ac361 May 6, 2010 5:29 AM (in response to gener7)Thanks, gener7. I wonder why there's not a utility that will import these various settings. If I had the time, I'd write one as an extension to Photoshop.

John--G May 6, 2010 6:27 AM (in response to ac361)I will second that! I wish there was a simple utility to save/export these settings and bring them into the new version. Likewise with keyboard shortcuts, I have not been successful in saving keyboard shortcuts from one version to other.
