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.

    No, Lightroom Classic is equally as new as Lightroom CC - they were released on the same day at the same time. You can cross grade to the Photography Plan which includes Lightroom Classic if you wish to do so. Difference is it's desktop/folder based rather than cloud based.

    This is stupid.  I bought lightroom CC BECAUSE of brushes options, then I find out only the older versions have it. Uninstalling and cancelling my account. Ridiculous. You suck Adobe. Its a marketing scheme to force people to buy both Photoshop and Lightroom as a package, they make money.

    I'm very disappointed to discover that brushes cannot be added to Lightroom CC. Because it comes with integrated brushes I would have thought that would be a no-brainer. Until third-party brushes can be added, CC is pretty much useless to me.

    Can't use the brushes or presets then add to that no watermark feature.  Seriously, what were they thinking?  Useless program.

      So you've done the right thing Claire, by putting in a feature requests, and all of these requests will be weighed up and prioritized. I hope you won't have to wait too long!

      I am already aware of Classic (and have merged my main catalog over to CC), and while I won't get into my feelings on the name change, the fact that CC was released without brush presets makes it nearly useless to me (as well as, I'm sure, many other professionals). 

      I am absolutely in love with the fact that my images in their entirety can be accessed from anywhere, but Lightroom CC is no more useful than a digital photo frame until I can use my brushes.

      It is not silly that they changed the name it is downright stupid.  CC is sort of just like LR mobile and LR mobile is still broken because you still have to leave the app to heal, erase an object, give up non-destructive raw and go to Photoshop fix app and then hopefully back to LR mobile and depend on the frigging cloud to work right.  Whewwwww. ; Like  said they are not silly, just stupid and very unattentive to their consumer base.

      Great request. The "new" Lightroom CC is a brand new app, so it won't have all of the features from Classic, at least for some time. There is an update to the version of Lightroom you were using previously though, and it still looks the same as the old version, with all of the existing features. You'll find it in your CC app as Lightroom Classic. (Yes, I know it's silly they changed the name!)
