Saving and deleting brush variants

You can save a customized brush variant for future use. When saving a brush variant, you have the option of saving to the currently selected brush category, or saving to a new brush category that you create. The new brush variant is always saved to the currently selected brush library. You can also delete the brush variants that you create.

In addition, you can save the variant as a look. Variant settings are included when you save a look, but looks can also include paper texture, pattern, gradient, and nozzle data. For more information, see Saving a brush look.

To save a brush variant Back to Top

 

With a variant selected, click the Brush library options button , and choose Copy Variant. Choose the destination brush category from the Copy Variant To list box. (Remember to delete the variant in the category from which it was copied.)

When you create a new variant, the variant files are saved in the operating system’s Users folder. The variant is stored in the brush category folder that was selected when the variant was saved.

You can also create a new brush category by clicking the Add New Brush Category button in the Save Variant dialog box and typing a name in the New Category Name text box.

You can also save a brush variant from the Brush library panel by clicking the Brush library options button and choosing Save Variant.

You can also copy brush variants at the root of the category folder by copying the brush variant files (XML, NIB, STK, and, in some instances, a JPEG file) to the desired category. This is a useful method when you need to copy multiple variant files to a new category.
