Export brushes as ABR
on: May 19, 2024, 10:56:52 PM
I'm so sorry if this ability already exists, and if so, please tell me how. I made a ton of brushes and I need to be able to use them across multiple platforms. All I found is the export brush groups option , and that's as artstudio_brushes format.

It is not possible, sorry.
We cannot implement that because in Artstudio we have a lot of brush parameters that are not supported by Photoshop, so they cannot be saved in abr.

Hmm.. but could there be a way to just export the parameters that are also available in Photoshop? I imagine it would still be a better starting point than having to redo the brushes from scratch in other apps. And when exporting as .abr there could just be pop-up warning saying something like "Warning: Exporting brushes as .abr may result in unexpected brush behavior"

But why would anybody want to work in photoshop if you are using Artstudio pro? Seems like a bad idea to be like yeah here take this and leave the app so you can use the competition?

In my case mostly for being able to share/sell brushes with other artists who don't use Artstudio Pro. Also I believe a number of artists work with multiple different apps depending on the project and .abr is unfortunately the only one usable in many different drawing/animation programs

For me, I wouldn’t be “leaving the app” for photoshop, or any other software. I work primarily on an iPad Pro…which if fine, until your files hit about 4 to 5 gb. I need to be able to also work from my desktop workstation, which is not a Mac OS machine
