how to save photoshop brush set over 2GB

How can I save a photoshop brush set that exceeds 2GB?

kind regards

Hi bijouz,

Could you please illustrate how you're able to reach 2GB brush set size? It is a huge size as the entire brush library that ships with Photoshop is around 6 mb.

Thanks,

Akash

I have made and saved a lot of brushes over the years that are very high resolution.
So it would be nice that I could save it in one big file instead of multiple sets

Different brushes have different brush types called "Brush sets". Could you please check the exact size of all the brushes in the location below?

(Windows) C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC*<version>\Presets\Brushes

(macOS) Applications/Adobe Photoshop <version>/Presets/Brushes

You may be unnecessarily affecting Photoshop’s performance by loading all your Brushes at once.

If you are sure you do indeed need them all every time you open Photoshop then that’s that, obviously, but if not you might be doing yourself a favour by limiting the presets you actually load somewhat.

Hello Akash Sharma,

I use alot of very high resolution brushes ( 5000px) and my set is now about 2,20GB

Hi bijouz,

As c.pfaffenbichler has mentioned, having a huge library of brushes will slow down Photoshop's performance. Do you use brushes with resolution of 5000 px?

Thanks,
