The Brush Preset toolbar controls are available only when a brush tool such as Paint Deformation on page 2210 is active. Brush Preset Manager Opens the Brush Preset Manager on page 7511 dialog, which lets you add, duplicate, rename, delete, save, and load brush presets. Add New Preset Adds a new preset with the current brush settings to the toolbar, first prompting you for a name for the brush. If you attempt to exceed the maximum number of brush presets (50), a dialog alerts you. [brush presets] Each preset is available on a button with a grayscale bitmap showing its shape and relative size. Click a preset to activate it and use its settings. Each preset contains all settings pertinent to the current tool, such as Mode for Paint Deformation brushes. You can see a preset name by hovering the mouse cursor over it; the tooltip that appears shows its name. To deactivate a preset, click its preset again on the toolbar. Its settings remain active, but changing the settings no longer modify the preset. By default, the toolbar contains five brush presets, but you can add up to a total of 50. To activate and use a preset, click its button on the toolbar. The program remembers any changes you make to the brush settings while a preset is active and automatically restores these at the start of the following session. The button image updates automatically to reflect changes to the size (by default, up to 40.0) and the falloff, which is depicted as a gradient on the button image. Set the falloff with the Painter Options dialog on page 1989. NOTE Changing a value for a setting the preset has in common with other contexts, such as Size, changes it for all contexts. For example, if you set a preset brush's size to 11.6, the brush will be that size when used with any other tool. Brush Preset Manager Brush Presets toolbar on page 7509 > Activate a brush tool. > Brush Preset Manager The Brush Preset Manager lists all brush presets, showing the context-specific settings and lets you change contexts. It also lets you rename, add, copy, and delete presets, and set the range for the depiction of brush sizes on the toolbar. Lastly, it lets you save and load custom collections of brush presets using the BPR file format. Brush Preset Manager | 7511
