Moving Brushes to new Group

[tedfs3]

Very new to Photo, actually purchased today after rewatching some YouTube videos from JCristina and making up my mind.

I learned how to create new Categories of brushes and rename them just by playing around a bit. However, it doesn't seem like you can move a Category into another Category. Say there are 12 different brushes I'd like to import that all deal with Patterns. Each brush gets put into its own category vs me being able to group them into one group called Patterns and keeping the Brushes dropdown a bit cleaner.

Is there some way bring brushes into a single group of my choosing vs each one getting its own group ?

That's unfortunately correct currently, the current method to combine brush categories is to copy/move each brush manually from the categories into a 'Master' category.

To do this, select the first category that will become your 'Master' and rename it, in your case to Patterns, then switch to the next category and right-click on the brush you want to move and select the appropriate options. Repeat this until the category is empty, then delete that category. Unfortunately this is a little bit time consuming in it's current implementation - we hope to improve this for the future!
