Re: Photoshop 7 I download some brushes and installed without knowing that they were for CS. BIG MISTAKE! Of course they wouldn't load and all of a sudden, all the brushes in my preview window became doubles. Two of everything. I deleted the incompatable brushes and they're still showing up when I try to load a brush. They're not in the file folder, but are still showing in Photoshop. Uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled and took all of the brushes out of the Brushes folder and only left the main ones that are necessary. I'm still seeing a bunch of brushes in the preview list that are no longer in the Brushes folder. So the question is: Where are these blankblankblank brushes living? It's driving me crazy and I can't get rid of them. And having duplicate brushes show up in the list means that not all of my important brushes are showing because of the limitations in the number that the list can show. It's nuts!

First try to reset brushes. If all else fails delete your prefs file.

Reseting didn't do anything other than load the default. My brushes list is still showing duplicates. Where is the prefs file? Just the file extension would do. I looked and can't find it.

In version 7 it's:

C:Documents and Settingsuser nameApplication DataAdobePhotoshop7.0Adobe Photoshop 7.0 SettingsAdobe Photoshop 7.0 Prefs.psp

Just toss it. When you start Photoshop up again it creates a new one.

Also check both:
C:Program FilesAdobePhotoshop 7.0PresetsBrushes
and
C:Program FilesAdobePhotoshop 7.0PresetsBrushesAdobe Photoshop Only
to make sure you you don't have duplicates within the default brush presets.
