Most Used or Favorite Brushes Grouping

[kenmo]

Is there a way to add your favorite or most used brushes into a group of their own? Corel Painter has this feature and it helps as your brush collection grows.

Cheers & many thanks....

I have a Toolbox saved with the brushes and presets I use when painting animals. I saved another with my favourite watercolour brushes/presets. Would that work for you?

Yes, collections of brushes can be grouped together.
If the brushes are all of the same kind, say, Oil Brushes for example, you can make a new Preset Group in the Presets panel and stored them there.
But if the brushes you want to collect together are of different kinds, then Toolboxes in AR will facilitate this.
And not just brushes can be stored in Toolboxes! For more info about what can be stored in Toolboxes see here: https://www.artrage.com/manuals/gett...and-workbench/
One thing to note though about Toolboxes is that they do not actually contain any assets. They are more like a fetch list telling AR where and what to get you.
If an asset is moved or renamed after being added to a Toolbox, you will get an error message when trying to access that asset from the Toolbox containing it.

I'm just gonna go ahead and agree with June and Mark. Toolboxes are my best friend in AR. Here is a screen shot of the toolbox (top left area of the screen shot) I use when I'm painting nebula. In my case so far I just keep tools in it, but I might start keeping my common color samples there too.

Thanks all for the replies. Sounds like Toolbox Presets are the answer. I know Photoshop has something similar to this.

Again many thanks....

Thanks for the link but that has to be one of the most confusing and worst written documentation I've ever read.

And I do not want to save the ToolBox to a single painting. I want to save my favorite brushes so I can use them with any new painting I am working on.

So sorry but IF I understand the documentation correctly (and I'm having a hard time following it - the lack of images in the documentation is appalling) Toolboxes can only be saved to a single work in progress painting.

But thanks for the suggestion, I do not think it would be for me NOR do I want to muddle through the documentation.

Cheers & many thanks...
