Saving a brush look

A look retains all brush variant settings, plus the paper, pattern, gradient, or nozzle settings. For example, if you customize a brush variant and paper texture to achieve a specific effect that you want to use in the future, you can save these settings as a look. When you save a look, it is added to the Look Libraries panel.

A brush variant is not itself associated with information about underlying texture or other elements. The look, on the other hand, is associated with additional information about a particular variant. Regardless of a document’s current libraries, when you select a look, you use the elements that are part of that look.
