Photoshop CC 2018 replaces the classic brushes from earlier versions of Photoshop with brand new brushes from award-winning illustrator and designer Kyle T. Webster. Yet if you look in the Brushes panel, which is also new in CC 2018, you won't find many brushes to choose from. That's because Photoshop ships with only a sample of these new brushes. There are actually over 1000 new brushes available, including watercolor brushes, spatter brushes, impressionist, manga, and more! And if you're an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, you have access to every one of them! All you need to do is download them from Adobe's website and install them into Photoshop. Here's how to get more brushes!

By default, the Brushes panel includes four folders, each representing one of four brush sets included with Photoshop. The first set, General Brushes, is where you'll find Photoshop's standard round brushes. But the three sets below it (Dry Media, Wet Media and Special Effects Brushes) are new brush sets from Kyle T. Webster:

To view the brushes inside a set, click on the arrow to the left of a folder icon to twirl the set open. Here I've opened the Dry Media Brushes set which includes six different brushes. In total, you'll find 20 brushes in the Kyle T. Webster sets:

Once the file has downloaded, you'll find it in the "Downloads" folder on your computer. To install the brush set, first make sure that Photoshop is running. Then, double-click on the downloaded file. Brush sets have an ".abr" file extension after their name:

And there we have it! That's how to access the entire collection of new brushes available to Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers in Photoshop CC 2018! Looking for the classic brush sets from earlier versions of Photoshop? See our Legacy Brushes tutorial to learn how to restore them. And, learn how to save your brushes as custom brush presets!

My PC is an HP OMEN 30L Desktop and there's no reason it should have "Not enough RAM" errors simply trying to enlarge an image by 1000 px and then crashing when opening the brush panel. It's absurd that every update it becomes unusable after hours and hours wasted getting the last version mostly usable. Or even after getting it working for the most part it becomes unusable again when restarting my PC. Never had any issues with Ps until the Creative Cloud era and having updates all the time. The video below shows what I'm dealing with. It's unacceptable.

a. Reset Preferences - to ensure the installation is back to standard set up. Preferences contain much more than the user set preferences and can become corrupt leading to strange behaviour and sometimes only showing up

That's Very Very Very weird................I saw your video just now.
Ofcourse, I saw your external program (lazy-for smoothing). But In my experience that cannot be a problem.
What's strange is that when the photoshop is loaded, it feels like freezing from the brush loading.
Do you have a lot of brush packs for your work? (Of course, in general cases, even if there are many brush packs, such problems should not occur.)
If you have a some brush pack, I think it would be good to delete it and try loading it. (But I think you have tried this too because you have already done the same thing as resetting the settings in your previous article.

And I searched your computer "HPOMEN 30L Desktop" and read all its specifications. Your computer is very good. That is why that should never happen. Because that's what happens when you try to run Photoshop 2022 on your old Intel Ivy Bridge CPU. Anyway, a solution that turns on or off an option now (for example, turning off native canvas or turning off the GPU) does nothing for you.

So, I'd like to suggest three things to you.
1. if you have some brush pack for your work, Delete it or move it to another location and try Photoshop again.
2. Press the window key and R to hit "cmd". And try typing sfc /scannow and enter.
3. Reinstall any version without 23.5, and not just delete PS.

Use this tool to cleanly erase Photoshop and install 2021 or 2020 instead of 2022.
(I personally recommend 2020. Especially 21.0.3 version)

Something is obviously wrong. It shouldn't be on your computer.
Please try it and let me know if there is any change.

I ran the sfc /scannow and there were corrupted files that were repaired and everything seems to be working correctly so far. I've never seen this suggested before that I can recall, and not sure why seeing as it solved the numerous issues I have been dealing with. I'm fairly knowledgeable about PCs, or at least I thought I was, having never heard of or used this fix before. I greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

I'm new to Photoshop and came across this what you can see in the video below. The line I draw is lagging behind my cursor. I hardly feel like it would be a problem with my PC since I have a 3900X, 32GB of RAM and 1080 Ti.

Am I just dumb? What am I doing wrong? It's a clean Photoshop file as well so it couldn't be a bogged down Photoshop client. I tried adjusting some performance settings as you can see in the screenshot below. I also tried putting History States down to 1, problem persists however. I hope someone here can help me out.

Your history states are set to 1000 - not one. I suggest you leave it at the default of 50. I think you should reset your preferences. Go under general and check reset preferences on quit and restart PS.

With poor brush settings on a huge canvas where you zoom way out and have photoshop changes mega bytes of data with each brush stroke it is easy to make brush strokes lag. If you want even more lag switch to the mixer brush. On my slow 2GHz PC I think I can start a stroke today an watch it finish tomorrow

Adobe is giving away 1000 Brushes by renowed artist Kyle T. Webster, in ABR format. If anyone is interested (they don't behave exactly the same, tested on Photoshop Elements 10), here is the link for the download page:

Well, I didn't find anything when I first saw about the Free downloads, now, since you asked, I searched again and found disperse things like this announcement. There says the following:

Why are your brush sets saved as .tpl files, instead of .abr files?
Tool presets (.tpl extension) are superior to brush presets (.abr files) for advanced custom brushes because a tool preset will consistently retain settings like brush flow, brush opacity, brush mode, and texture.

So, the things is... to me, it's not clear if the download page at Adobe.com refers to the same brushes. I would think it'd do, but I hope somebody else can tell us. As of now, there seems to be -at least- the implicit License that those brushes can be used only with Adobe CC. But then again, why are they in .ABR format and available there like whatever?

I have bought a bunch of Kyle T Webster's great brush packs in the past, but as they were TPL files, they couldn't be imported into other apps like AD or Krita. I'm curious as to what AD/AP's ABR support is like - how it works. I tried some of the new ABR brush versions in AD and, sure, they look different - but is there a pattern to what exactly works differently in the ABR files?

My understanding is that TPL files are just ABR files with preset values stored with the actual brush data, and that you should therefore be able to import them just like ordinary ABR files if you change the filename extension. They'll lose their 'presetness', of course, but otherwise they should work OK.

That's interesting, thanks! I should have a look at the file extension, although I already installed the 'new and enhanced ABR standard' versions, which should retain some of their Photoshop preset values like size and 'wet edges' etc. ... I hope? (attaching screengrabs of the same brush in AD and PS)

I guess it's just a case of simply tweaking the AD brush settings to get the brushes to work/look a little more like they did in Photoshop (taking into consideration brush engine differences AD vs PS)?

I'm not a server admin, however I suspect Edge uses MIME type and not the file extension to determine what to do with the file and Adobe haven't set up their web servers correctly to attach the correct MIME type to the response header. In the case of .abr brushes, that would be 'application/octet-stream' so that the browser would treat it as an attachment and prompt the user to 'Save as'.

If you want to download them with Edge, to the very right edge of the buttons it will allow you to right-click, select 'Save Target As' and save them to your computer. After they're downloaded, change the file extensions from .htm to .abr.

I would like to introduce my Photoshop Brushes Bundle. It is a set of 1000+ Photoshop brushes with the perfect textures. You can quickly create an interesting and trendy design using these brushes. All the stains were drawn by hand, selected and carefully digitized.
