How do I save a new brush - for example a signature

[IAN JULIAN]

I do a signature, as a jpeg or psd.

I click define brush

I save it as best I can ctlr-s

It is there in the brushes - for a while  SometimesI have to click Load Brushes.

Then disappears, never to be seen again

How do I save it in my brushes.

Thank you.

It gets saved to the bottom of whatever brush set you had selected when you defined/ created the brush.  let me know if you need more help.

Yes, it does save it for a short while.  Then it disappears.  Have had this problem for years.

DO THIS:

Search your computer for ABR files.   Copy one- give it a new name like "My custom brushes"- Put it in here:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\25.0\Presets\Brushes
Use that copied abr file for whatever brushes you make.

Restart the editor.
Open a new canvas.
Pick that newly copied and renamed abr file.

Use that for all the brushes you make.

I got tons of odd brushes installed.  I usually copy a small abr file.    

Once you create a new brush, you can use the tools withing the brush set to delete the brushes not wanted in the copied set.

Sorry, but I have no idea what that means - 'I usually copy a small abr file'.

Ensure you save into the presets holder. See if my YouTube video helps.

Finally, finally got it - I think.  The renaming of an abr file etc,looks far too complicated for me, but it can be done on this video - buyt is not made clear.  Turns out this is a problem encountered by many.

On the video, 3 minutes in, it says click 'Save Brushes' at the bottom of the 3 dots, NOT 'Save Brush' which is at the top!!!.  I think this has stumped everyone, not surpsingly.  If the brushes do not show, click 'Load Brushes'.
