    How Do I set up a preset...

    airflier Community Member

      In Photoshop CS5, how do I set up a preset for an "airbrush" tool or is that possible?

          Something along these lines?

           

          • Choose Window - Tool Presets to make the TOOL PRESETS panel visible.
          • Set your brush up the way you want it (e.g., airbrush icon depressed, set flow, etc.).
          • Click the little Create a new tool preset icon at the bottom of the TOOL PRESETS panel.
          • Name it what you want.

            Okay... new question... is there supposed to be an "airbrush" icon in the main control panel or can one be created?

              There is not a separate tool.  The Brush Tool has an Enable airbrush mode button (it's one of the buttons that show at the top of the Photoshop main window once the Brush Tool is chosen). 

               

              There's no way I know of to add a preset to the Tools panel itself (though I'll qualify that - I don't think anyone can ever know all of the features of Photoshop, and I'd love to learn there's a way).

               

              You can, of course, click items in the TOOL PRESETS panel.  That's how those work.
