I very much appreciate your reply, You completely cleared up the mystery of how to keep those default brushes from reappearing in my brushes list, and what you wrote about my second question makes sense. Let me know if I misunderstood or if I wasn't clear. Does that make sense? If you select individual brushes and save them as a set, those will load as a folder/set based on what you name it when you save the set. So in the example above, you have selected the ANIMALS which contains 3 sub folders, so when you create a new set and name it ANIMALS, you are creating a new set of the selected folder (ANIMALS with 3 sub folders) into a new set that you also named ANIMALS when prompted. Q2: What you have selected when you click Save Set. So if you delete the defaults and the load a set of your own, quit and relaunch, just your set will be there and defaults won't load. You will find that whatever you leave populated in the Brushes panel will be the same when you relaunch. If you delete all the default brushes, quit and relaunch, yes, the defaults will automatically reload. Q1: You can't launch PS with an empty Brushes panel. My thanks to anyone who can help answer my two questions! in the online User Guide under Brush presets In the online User Guide under Create and Modify Brushes Ģ.The ONLY places where I find Ps says anything about saving brushes are: They don’t mention having to save sets/groups that you’ve created or edited.Īdobe Photoshop Channel on Youtube: New Brush Preset Management in Photoshop CC by Julie Ann Kost I’ve watched a couple of instructional videos on the new brush management feature in Ps 2018, both produced by Adobe and by individuals, and The online Adobe introduction to What’s New in Ps 2018, as well as the online User Guide, do not say anything about saving sets and groups: I.e., if you make a change to a set or create a brush, and don’t save it in the Preset Manager, it doesn’t get saved to the Presets > Brushes folder and you lose your changes once you close Ps.Īdobe Help features shed no light on this problem Ps has required the user to manually save custom brushes and shapes for as long as I've been using it (2.5 years).
Ps has always required manual saving of brushes But, once again, Ps has created an intermediary group. Then closing the groups in the Preset Manager menu and reloading CRITTERS. Then going into the Adobe folder where the Brush Presets are stored-Īnd manually deleting the ANIMALS ABR file.
By dragging the ANIMALS group to the top of the list, renaming it CRITTERS, and saving it. But when I reload it, it comes back the way it was-Ģ. By dragging the ANIMALS group to the top of the list, resaving –.I have tried fixing this problem several ways: Is this a glitch? How do I get it to stop creating the unnecessary, intermediary group? When I Delete (close) and reload the ANIMALS group, I find it has created a subgroup with the same name, which I then have to open to get to my brush Three brush sets moved into a new group and the ANIMALS group saved. Save the group in the Preset Manager menu with the Save Set… command. Some pre-existing brush sets into it (e.g. Ps is doing something odd after I create a new supergroup/parent folder. QUESTION 2: How to stop Ps from creating intermediary folders for new brush groups Is there a way to stop the default brush group from automatically loading? I’d rather choose which group I want to load from the flyout menu and not have to either delete the four groups or have them sitting at the top of my list. When I open the Brushes panel, the default brushes automatically appear in the brushes list.
