Deleting Brushes from the flyout menu

[Pixella3]

Hi all!

After having PSE for a few years I took the plunge and purchased PS CS2. I copied my collection of brushes from PSE to the presets file for brushes in PS, and they were in one large file. This proved to be unwieldy in PS, as the flyout menu couldn't list them all. (I have several hundred) I spent the better part of the day organizing the brushes into categories, and then put these files into my brush preset file. I can now load them from the different categories, but the old, l partial listing of the brushes is still filling up my screen. I've looked at many tutorials, but I can't figure out how to delete them from the list/flyout menu.

Thanks for your help!

Activate your brush tool. Then click on the right arrow on the brush preset picker. This should activate the flyout menu where you see your different brushes. There is another right arrow on this menu. Click it to activate the flyout menus and select RESET BRUSHES. This will reset the brushes to the Photoshop CS default brushes. Note, it will delete any brushes you have added (so make sure you have them save elsewhere).

You can also right-click on the brush in the brush selector menu and choose delete.

Hi Paul,

I followed your instructions, and the brushes are all still there on the flyout menu, even though I can load the brushes now from the categories I created. It is very annoying, and I can't figure out why I can't get rid of them.

I can't make a screenshot to show you, as when I press the alt key, the flyout menu disappears.

Perhaps it's the location of your brush files. For new brushes, I place them in my GOODIES folder instead of the default Brush Preset Folder. Then when I want them, I just load them from their location.

Try Ctrl+PrtScrn (that should place the screen image on your clipboard). Then select file, new and paste.
