Adriano_C Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've been having to use a workaround to save edits made on brushes. Most of the time Photo won't save the changes I make to brushes unless I either duplicate them after the edit or if I click on a different brush WHILE I have the edit window open.

Staff Chris B Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hey Adriano_C, Are these the brushes that get shipped with the app, new brushes you've made or imported brushes? It seems to be behaving for me. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano_C Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It happens both with imported brushes and with brushes I've created.

Staff Chris B Posted February 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2021 So if you edit the brush, increase its size and click Close—that brush doesn't have the new size? I've asked around to see if anyone has had any other reports because I'm unable to reproduce this at the moment.

Adriano_C Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 If I do that it does keep the size as long as I'm using that brush. If I change to another brush then go back to that first brush, my change has been reverted to the original size.

Staff Chris B Posted March 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi Adriano_C, Thanks for the recording. When you make the Size Jitter change, the UI updates but the preview in the Brushes Panel does not but it should. I've tried with a few imported .abr brushes and they retain the changed. I wonder if it's that set of brushes having the issue. Saying that, a brush you've created should also work as it does for me.

Adriano_C Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 The issue happens with brushes I've created too. But it's erratic, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

As far as I know that is normal You can't save those sort of changes to existing brushes All you can do is make changes to a brush then duplicate it to create a new brush which contains those changes If you look at your video you will see that immediately you change the Size Jitter the active brush is deselected in the brushes panel, indicating it is no longer the active brush Chris B 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Adriano_C Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 If that is so, am I alone in thinking that this is a very inconvenient design choice? There should be at least a "save changes" button.

For example, if you change the size in the context bar or by clicking on the "More" button , it does not work. But if you double-click on the brush in the Brushes panel or click on the "Edit brush" button , it works. I don't think this is intentional.

Staff Chris B Posted March 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2021 Sorry I completely missed you were clicking More on the context toolbar... I am sorry. This is by design. More on the context toolbar isn't a permanent edit - it's a quick way to temporarily tweak a brush. For permanent edits, you have to right-click the brush > Edit Brush. You will notice that if you click More, the box just says Brush - Selection whereas if you click Edit Brush the box says Brush - Editing.
