Saving and Sharing Brush Tips

Once you create a custom Brush Tip you can save it in the Brushes folder in the Paint Shop Pro program directory. You can then share your brush presets with others by sending them the brush file. If the brush uses a custom shape, you will have to share both the brush file and the custom shape file for that brush.

To save Brush Tip settings:

1. Click down-arrow on the Presets button, and then click the Save preset button to open the Save Preset dialog.

2. Type a name for the Brush Tip. Note: You cannot use the names “Default” or “Last Used”.

3. To enter additional Preset information, click the Options button, and then enter information in the Author, Copyright, and Descrip­tion fields.

4. The Preset includes group box shows the data saved with this Preset. To omit any of these items from the Preset, click the Save icon (a red X will appear over it) associated with the data.

5. Click OK.

To share Brush Tips:

1. Navigate to the brushes folder in the Paint Shop Pro program directory.

2. Provide the brush file or files (brush files have a .PspBrush exten­sion) to the person with whom you want to share the Brush Tip. They should place the brush files in the Brushes folder in the Paint Shop Pro program directory.

Note: If you are sharing a preset for a custom brush (brushes cre­ated from selections) then you will need to select both the .Psp­Brush file and the associated Jasc PSP Script file.
