Saving Presets and Libraries
After you create a brush, you no doubt want to save it for future use. Brushes that you create with the Brush palette are added to the bottom of the palette list. But, if you reset the brushes in the palette or load a different set of brushes in, you lose the brush.Thankfully, you can easily save a brush as a preset and also save it in a library with other brushes that you create.Here’s how to save a brush as a preset:
Open the Brush Preset picker or open the Brush palette menu and choose New Brush Preset.
Type a name in the Brush Name dialog box (shown earlier in Figure 23-19).
Click OK.Your new preset appears at the bottom of the Brush Preset picker.
To save one or more brushes in a brush library, use the following steps:
Choose Edit>Preset Manager.
Choose Brushes from the Preset Type drop-down list.The Preset Manager displays all the brush presets, as shown in Figure 23-20.

Ctrl/z +click to select the brushes that you want to include in the library.
Click Save.
In the Save dialog box, enter a name for the brush library in the File Name (Windows) or Save As (Mac) text box.
Click Save to close the Save dialog box and return to the Preset Manager.
Click Done to close the Preset Manager.
| Tip | Your new brush library won’t be available on the Brushes palette or Brush Preset picker menu until Photoshop is shut down and relaunched. |
You can also save a custom brush as a tool preset. Saving brushes as tool presets can come in handy if you are using a particular brush or set of brushes over and over again.To save a brush as a tool preset:
Open the Tool Preset picker located at the left end of the options bar.
Choose New Tool Preset from the picker’s menu.
Type a name for the brush tool preset in the New Tool Preset dialog box.
If you want to include the color of the brush with the tool preset, enable the Include Color check box.
Click OK.
The New Tool Preset dialog box closes and your brush tool preset appears in the Tool Preset picker.To find out more about tool presets, take a look at Technique 6.
