Getting Camera Raw brush settings to stick.

Hi All, so let's say I have a number of files open in Camera Raw and just for instance I can see that my next three images are going to need just a part of each one brightened up. So I hit the K key (brings up Paint Brush) and I slide the exposure to .5 and let's say the contrast to 10 and the clarity to 10. I paint where I need it....... lovely. In every camera raw version before this newest one, 15 I  think, those brush settinsg would have stuck there for my next image and I paint an area with the exact same settings. In Camera Raw 15, every single image I go to the brush settings have been zero'd out. Why? Let me make that decision when I need to. I need the brush settings to stick/hold from one image to the next. Any ideas?    Windows 11.
