Why is there a triangle showing in the corner of my custom brushes?    I've never seen this before and I have made a ton of brushes over the years.   Version 20.0.3

That's because you use 16Bit instead of 8Bit while you create your brush...

Figured it out but thought I would post the answer.   It was because I was in 16 bit mode / profile.   So hence the 16.

    I think we typed at the same time. Could you tell me... what the advantage would be to do them in 16 bit mode?

    Slight correction - 16 bit does not offer a wider range of colours it just divides the same range into more steps. That way the steps are not visible as bands. To get a wider range then you would need to change the colour space.

    32 bit works slightly differently and does offer a wider range in that it can go lighter than the lightest white visible in 8/16 bit and darker than the darkest black. It cannot be displayed directly on screen though and is reserved for specialist uses such as HDR or 3D rendering

    Adobe noob here-  thank you for explaining the differences between the 8, 16 & 32 bits.  
    Cheers
