Creating brush tips and presets

By modifying the brush options, you can create your own brush tips to use with the painting tools. When you create a brush tip, all options selected for the brush are saved, including the brush shape, step, density, thickness, size, hardness, and rotation settings. You can also include the variance settings in creating a brush tip. The settings that you save can be applied to any tool that has a brush tip control in the Tool Options palette.

You can also make a selection, and then use the selection to create a custom brush with a width and height of up to 999 × 999 pixels.

In addition to brush tips, you can create brush presets. When you create a preset, all settings specified for a particular tool are saved, including all of the parameters and variance settings. The tool preset is available only when you select that particular tool.
