Default brushes for CS2

[ariesfl326]

I feel kinda stupid for saying this but I can't find my default brushes!!!

I loaded brushes I bought online and I can see them just fine but for some reason I cannot find just the regular little circle brushes or default brushes, as I've heard them called. Super frustrated.

Any help is good help!

Click the down thing to see your brushes, then click the little arrow on that. On that menu go over and select Default Brushes.

I think I did that but I will definitely try it again. Is it possible that I could have deleted these without realizing it-not sure if this is even possible? I've had some weird things happening with PS so I don't know. I may have to reload the software. ugh!

Thanks for your help!

I don't think you can? Could you have accidentally saved over them? When you replace out brushes it asks if you want to save the current ones.

I bet you that's what I did and didn't even realize it!!! I'll go check it out. Thanks a bunch!

Here is how to restore them.

Brushes -> Load Brushes -> Navigate to your photoshop file on your hard drive (on a MAC it's under applications) -> presets -> brushes

HTH!

Thanks ladies! I actually was able to reinstall them from the software and they seem to be working fine again. Appreciate the help!
