Change Default Brush in preset

Could any one tell me what is the command set to choose a brush other than the brush that is defined in a brush preset? Most of the Photoshop brushes have a defined brush but I forgot the commands to release the defined brush and choose another instead.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

    You can select brushes in the Brushes panel. After selecting a brush, you can configure it using the Brush settings panel.

    Hi marliton​, there is a key command for releasing the brush but I just cannot remember it. Thank you for your response. Note the red circles in these samples of brush presets: Brushes   

    They are presents with defined brushes and there is a command to allow you to use another brush instead. If you don't use it you re stuck with that brush unless, as you say, you change the values on the preset.

    You don't 'release' a preset as such.  Just choose another preset.  That will remain as the selected brush until you select another brush preset.  This is regardless of restarting Photoshop.  Brush presets are tied to tools, so the Mixer Brush, and Art History Brush store their own presets.

    If you are using CC 2018, are you aware that it now stores tool presets as well as brush presets?  That means that selecting some presets will automatically switch tools — something that has confused and frustrated people when this was introduced.  The best advice I can give you is to watch this video description of the way it works now.


    Yes, I understand that marliton​. I came across a post several weeks ago that mentioned how to do what I am asking about but I cannot find it. I did it myself several times but cannot recall the command to release the brush.

    Thank you for your time and attention.
