pixelburger Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I have a few favorite brushes in a custom category that I created. How can I make this category open as the default when selecting the brush tool? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuli Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi @pixelburger As far as I know, we cannot set default brushes on iPad. It always resets to “Acrylics” after closing the document.

If the iPad version works like the Desktop version, it shows the first category alphabetically. If so, just pick an appropriate category name, such as _My Favorites, that will sort before Acrylics.

iuli Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Sorry for missing your reply @walt.farrell @Alfred already explained that we’re always starting with Acrylics brushes, and that there’s no workaround for it. All the best! walt.farrell and Alfred 2 Quote StudioLink 256gb 11’ M1 iPad Pro iPadOS 17 Public Beta 1 iPad Magic Keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my iPad, the default is Basic. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
