PROGRAM BASIC: Using the Preset Manager
(Read the full article...)When you create a brush it is placed into the brush palette, but this is only a temporary saving of the brush. I know that it can appear permanent because you can open Photoshop numerous times and the brush is still there, but if you happen to reset the brush palette to the default set of brushes, your brush will be gone forever. The same is true for custom shapes, pattern, and styles. So how do you make it permanent? The answer is the Preset Manager. The Preset Manager can be located under Edit>Preset Manager. It can also be located on the little flyout menus on each palette.
