Question

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.

      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.

      It sounds like we are not understanding you.  What are you trying to get to after 'releasing the brush' as you describe it?  What state? What tool?

      Are you, perhaps, looking to temporarily switch to another tool with one of the spring loaded shortcuts?

      The is no command to 'release the brush'.  There are several commands to switch to other tools like 'M' which would switch you to the Marquee tools, or 'V' which is the Move tool.  Do you understand what I am getting at? 

      I wonder if you are thinking of Adobe Illustrator where 'V' switches to the Select tool, which is sort of like a default tool?
