Question

Brush Settings Keep affecting Other New Brushes!!!!

Okay, I am doing my best NOT to pull my hair out. I have literally created two completely different brushes ( a scatter brush and a sketching brush) and when I go to save all the settings for one and THEN back just to use the other, the settings from the OTHER brush has now affected the brush (ex. the scatter is now on the sketch brush, so i uncheck it and it also affects the actual scatter on the scatter brush itself), even though I saved it WITHOUT those settings. What the heck is going on?

    Set up your preset and click on the New Preset icon

    Make sure you check Include Tool Settings

    Open the Preset Manager

    Use the dropdown to select Brushes

    Make a new Group and drag your preset into it.

    Save Set —  This create a .abr file in the same folder as your other brush presets

    It's a bit belt and braces, and you'd obviously organise your new group with more than the one preset, but this is best practice, and safest.

    I did this originally. This is why I posted the question. I selected to keep the tool settings and they aren’t staying only on the brush it was assigned to OR if I desel a setting that was already saved for a brush to create another that setting on the previous brush is now gone as well.

      Hi did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue, and I've seen a few others ask similar questions, and it seems like not much help has been available. Do you have any tips of fixing this? 🙂
