"Export Selected Brushes" Greyed Out

[elinaz98016673]

Hello,

I cannot manage to find an answer to this issue anywhere in the community or elsewhere.

I have created custom brushes that I want to export in order to paint digitally on Photoshop on other computers. However, when selecting the brush or brushes, the "export selected brushes" button is greyed out. I have tried restarting my computer and resetting the preferences on Photoshop, but nothing works.

I use Photoshop 2022 on a Mac OS Monterey.

I have attached a screenshot of the greyed out button.

I must note that the button is also greyed out on my other Mac which is running with the latest system.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm also on a Mac. If I right click it's grayed out, if I go to the gear icon in the upper right corner it's not. You can also save your brushes to a library - open the brushes panel, select the brush and just drag and drop in into a library. I perfer this method over saving brush files that I have to search for.

Thank you for pointing that out. The button is not greyed out when I click on the gear icon and now I am able to export my brushes. Thank you for your help!

3 years later and this answer is still solving this problem. Weird they still haven't fixed the issue but thankfully your answer is here to save us all haha.

Are you trying to export from context pop-up menu which appears on right click while Brush tool is active? It does not work on Windows too.
