Asked this in photoshop forum but no answer yet. I am trying to save my own brushes to their own set, but it keeps adding to the original set, how do I save them? Been searching the manual but not getting help there. Also, for you PS masters out there, why does it give me a no pixels selected if I try to select and then use inverse selection to select the item in the pic? It seems logical that if there is only one item in the picture I should be able to select it more easily than using the lasso tool. I tried using select color range but it doesn't pick up everything. The manual doesn't give me much info, or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Marque

What I did was to unload all the brushes, then started making my own, and thereby making a new set. I'm not sure if it's the correct way, but.. it worked :o)

Marque,
Hopefully this will answer your question.
I'm using PS 7
This will add the brush to the brush pallete you are currently using.
To get it in it's own pallete, I do something that is awkward.
Someone else might have the proper way of doing this. But what I do is first select a brush pallete that only has a brush or two. Then I follow steps 1-4.
After this I delete the unnecessary brushes.
You can rename brush palletes by:
hope this helps.
I'm not too sure what you are asking in your 2nd question but maybe this will help.
If I make a selection in a picture in PS what happens when I inverse the selection is that I choose everything except the item I chosed.
If you have nothing that is in the background, if you inverse the selection then you chose nothing.
If this is what you are doing and you want to select an item that is alone on it's seperate layer then do this in PS7:
1.Select that layer
2.Hold down the "Ctrl" button (PC) and with that button held down "left click" on the name of the layer in the "layer pallete"
That will select that object.
This may not be what you were asking but maybe it will help you in the future.
take care

Thanks. I wasn't understanding before that you just create them and save them to a new name. Thought you started with a clean library that you created. Figured it out finally by reading all I could find on Photoshop, and found out some other cool things while I was reading the manual on it...lol Guess it does help to RTFM after all. 8^) Marque
