Hi- I have several issues that I am hoping to get some help on....
1.) organizing brushes on a Mac using PSE4- how do I do it?! When I open up Brushes, I get this huge long list of my brushes and would like to organize them somehow!
2.) I thought I'd move said long brush list from the Presets folder to my external hard drive and then just load whichever brush I wanted at the time I was working on a layout. So I dragged the brushes to a folder on my external hard drive. BUT, when I opened PSE4 again, the list was back and not only was it back BUT the Presets folder within PSE4 was EMPTY!!! Still empty but the brushes are showing up anyway. It's possessed! What am I to do?
3.) the next big issue is previewing the brush- the title of the brushes often do not really reflect what the brush really is. I would love to have had the forethought to have captured a screenshot of each brush and put it somewhere so I would have something to refer to but I didn't think ahead. So how can I see what the brush really is? A preview perhaps.....

I am really in a quandry about the brushes in PSE4 on a Mac. I am not happy with what I have and I am hoping someone can direct me. Thanks for any help, Judy

Did you remember to empty the preview cache? Do that and then restart PSE.

I guess I don't know where the Preview Cache is.... I deleted the filters and effects caches since I knew where they were but please let me know where the preview cache is........ Judy
