P: Add Custom Brush Presets

I was (and still am, I guess) so, so excited about the launch of the new CC. However, I was extremely disappointed to find that there is no local adjustments folder to add custom brush presets. I chatted with an Adobe Support rep and they said that it "may be added in the future" and to post on here.

I cannot believe that I have to post on here asking for Adobe to add a main chunk of my workflow back into Lightroom. I can't be the only one whose LR workflow is affected by the lack of this capability.

    This used to be straight forward in the previous version but how do you save brush settings as a preset for future use? This seems so basic but is somehow no longer intuitive. I have not managed to find information on this for some reason.

    I would like to see the ability to add brush presets in Lightroom CC. Apparently, for some reasons, it is only available in LR Classic.

    This is a big request ever since the release of Lightroom mobile and Lightroom (formerly known as "CC"). One of the reasons I still use my Lightroom Classic are my custom brushes for retouching. And of course the synchronization feature. While there is a workaround to sync the edit from one photo to others, there is no workaround for my dozens of different brushes (for hair, skin, lips, ...). Please Adobe, bring this feature to one of your next upgrades. You come a long way with Lightroom mobile, go for the rest 🙂 Cheers, Markus

    So three years later we still have no local adjustment presets? Please, Adobe, add this to one of your next releases!

    I am so disappointed that you cant have custom brushes with Lightroom CC. It makes my work impossible. I am beyond frustrated and confused how this is even possible!!

    Hi, 

    Why has brush presets been removed from the CC version? I love the online system, but eliminating key functionality from the application makes me want to stop using LR all together. 

    Best
