To open the Brushes panel in Adobe Photoshop, go to Window > Brushes. This will display the Brushes panel, allowing you to select and customize various brush settings.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Accessing the Brushes Panel: The primary method for opening the Brushes panel is through the Window menu.
- In Photoshop, look for the "Window" option in the main menu bar at the top of the screen.
- Click on "Window".
- In the dropdown menu that appears, find and select "Brushes". You might also see it abbreviated as "Brushes (F5)" indicating that you can also press the F5 key.

Using the Brushes Panel: Once open, the Brushes panel lets you:
- Choose from a variety of preset brushes.
- Adjust brush size, hardness, shape, and other characteristics.

Alternative Method (if the Brushes panel is docked): Sometimes, the Brushes panel might be docked along the sides of your Photoshop workspace. If you see a small icon resembling a paintbrush, clicking it will also open the Brushes panel.
By following these steps, you can easily access and utilize the Brushes panel in Photoshop to enhance your digital artwork.
