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.

    Hi Veronica, sorry, I've been away from the forums working on a book launch. Contact Customer Services and they'll be able to do it for you.

    It's difficult to do research on both lightrooms online- google and youtube always include the wrong program in the search results (they should have different names) anyhow finally I have discovered there is no way to get brush presets in LR CC and I'm astounded.  I'll have to open my Lightroom file in LR classic for easy brushing before sending it to photoshop to cut out objects. 3 programs per picture? I must be doing this wrong.

    Hi Victoria, I tried to change my plan and cross grade to the photography plan (bc Lightroom CC doesn't support 3rd party brushes-CRAZY), but it's not letting me! Any ideas?

    I'm very disappointed that Lr CC doesn't have the feature to use brush presets, even after just a few months. This is a major reason why we use Lr. That it "may" have it "sometime" is not good enough. This is something that should be a priority.

      Gianna, you can have the old Lightroom back, no trouble. The latest version of the "traditional" Lightroom is called Lightroom Classic.

      Not having the brushes really disrupts everything I do. 

      I'll stay with the classic if this isn't changed. I was super excited, too! 😞

      One of my most used tools in Classic is the local adjustment presets, such as 'Iris Enhance' or 'Teeth Whitening'. These are very useful for quick edits where the round trip to Photoshop doesn't make sense.

      It is possible to achieve the same results manually, but setting the sliders every time defeats the whole concept of making quick edits.
