Saving brushes?

I just learned how to make my own brush (having fun now! ) but couldn't permanently save it. I was able to save it to the brush preset group I had open by choosing "new brush" from the brush palette, but when I switched brush groups and then back to the group I had saved it in, it was gone. I tried this several times with the same result - only saves the brush until I switch brush groups, then its gone when I go back to the group I made it in.

How do I permanently save a brush?

Thanks,

Create the design, then go to Edit -> Define Brush. Then you have to select the paintbrush and click on the brush pallet. Then select "Save Brushes". Select the name of the brush set you're using and you'll overwrite it. Or save it under a new name (if you're making a new pallet of brushes). Then go to Edit -> Preset Editor -> Brushes. Select your new pallet to load upon opening.

Thankyou! I have two Photoshop books but neither give enough detail on this. The more advanced of the two just said to save a brush by clicking on "new brush" from the paintbrush palette.

But you also have to save the pallet and make sure the correct pallet preloads.

The value of the book is dependant on the profession of the writer. A wedding photographer is going to have uses for Photoshop different from that of a graphic designer or a photo retoucher.
