The Brush Selector is also available as a floating panel that you can keep open to access brushes quickly and easily while you are painting. The Brush Selector panel has two viewing modes: compact and full view. In full view, both the brush categories and variants are displayed. In compact view, only the brush variants are displayed, which lets you see more brushes at a glance without the need to scroll. For more information about grouping, resizing, and docking panels, see Rearranging panels and palettes.
