Question

In 19.1 i cannot change the brush tip for the mixer or smudge tools

When I select the mixer brush, and then choose a brush tip from the brush preset menu, the tool will change to the brush tool as soon as I select the new tip.  This doesn't happen with every brush (for example, i can change to a standard photoshop brush), but not a Kyle brush like the one below.  As soon as I select the new

As soon as I select the new tip, the mixer tool will change to the standard brush tip.  This does not happen in CC 2017.  I am able to use the same kyle brushes without issue.  I suspect something is awry with the way brushes and tool presets are sort of the same thing now?  So when i am picking a new brush tip, it has the tool info with it?  Please help if i am doing something wrong.

      How has this not been remedied yet? And no further responses? I suppose we just have to duplicate every brush we'd like to use as a mixer brush? How does Adobe miss something like this?

        What are you talking about?

        Pleas post meaningful screenshots including the pertinent Panels (Brushes etc.).

        Did you create Brushes with »Include Tool Settings« checked or download some and are you pretending that is Adobe’s fault?

        And are you aware that the Tool stored in the Tool Settings can be overridden by cmd-clicking the Brush with another painterly Tool selected.

        Did you bother to even read the original post? And ”are you aware” that answering doesn’t require a pompous attitude?  Did you get your fill of talking down to people in for the day?

        That is indeed an option now.

        You can select it, »Create new brush« and uncheck »Include Tool Settings«, then the new preset should work for any Tool.

          Thank you for your reply... This may work when i am creating a brush, but it seems almost every brush I used to have was maybe created with the setting checked (or before it existed)?  Either way, using almost all of my existing imported brushes no longer works with the mixing brush or smudge tool.  there doesn't seem to be a way to edit them either.

          When you select one of those Brushes and proceed as described above can the resulting Brush be utilised with the Mixing Brush Tool or not?
