Edit a brush

Edit a brush using the Brushes palette and the New Brush Preset command.

You cannot directly edit a brush preset. However, you can select a preset, change the settings, and create a new brush based on those settings. Photoshop adds the new brush preset to the Brushes palette.

Select the Brush tool in the toolbox.

Click the Brushes tab to bring the brushes palette to the front or, if the palette isn't open, choose Window > Brushes.

Select Brush Presets at the top of the Brushes palette. Then, select the brush preset that you want to change.

Select Brush Tip Shape and change the settings as desired. To view additional settings, click the option name on the right side of the palette.

When you are satisfied with the brush settings, click the Create New Brush button at the bottom of the palette.

In the Brush Name dialog box, type a name for the brush, and then click OK. Photoshop adds the new brush preset to the Brushes palette, using the new settings.
