I want to organize lots of brushes on my Mac and copy them over to my Surface Pro. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.

    Assuming CC2019, make the presets with the brush manager, and sort them into sets.  This does not save them as .abr files though.  To do that you need to use the Preset Manager

    So I have made a new group via clicking on the little cog icon, and dragged a couple of presets into it

    Note that we can store tool settings with a brush preset now, and this can be for any tool that uses brush presets.

    Then open the Preset Manager, from the Preset Type drop-down, choose brushes where you'll see your new group.

    Save it, and make a note of the location.  You can then copy the resulting .abr file to your other computers.

    You can probably do the same thing with CC Libraries, but I've got to go.  If you get no other answers when I am available again, I'll try and sort out an answer

    Good luck,
