How to save tool presets as brush presets?

I have some tool presets that would be very useful, but I normally just go to brush presets, which i have organized and which provide greater flexibility. Is there a way to turn "tool" into a "brush"? Going through defining brush presets, forced me to adjust all kind of things, but as tool presets they are already perfect. There has to be a way to do it easier! Hope you can help.

I'll ad a giant AOL 'Me Too' to that Gene. I don't blame Lynda and Bruce when there is $1.5b on the table, but I think it a sad reflection on our times that a dot.com that has questionable worth to our society, can afford to pay so much money for a genuinely useful service like Lynda.com. Apparently they started with $20k and have built it up with no outside help, so they are sitting pretty right now.
My concern is that the focus of Lynda.com does not shift even remotely towards business type courses, and away from creative. BTW I am absolutely loving my Lynda subscription. It seems that no matter what the subject, if you ever get stuck on something, there is a world class course to put you straight. As regards Photoshop, I considered myself at least an expert, yet I have been able to find game changing new tips on almost a daily basis. Or sometimes just a better way of doing things. It absolutely helps to go into the expert courses with a good working knowledge, because it means you pick up the content straight away, and hopefully remember it.
Somebody was smiling down on me the day I was about to commit $250 for a year's subscription, and literally as I sat down at the computer, there was a ping to tell me a new email had arrived, and it turned out to be offering that same subscription for $150. I suspect the apparent coincidence was driven by my recent visits to the site, but if that email had arrived ten minutes latter, I'd have been down a $100. :-)

How to save expression together with animation preset?

I am trying to understand expressions and animation presets.
I have one single slider control, which controls the opacity of a layer, where the value is the slider value + slightly changed using an expression.
I can save the slider control as an animation preset, but the expression gets lost.
Yes, this is so basic that it can be, this is the way I like to learn. And as far as I know, expressions can be saved together with animation presets. I hope someone can tell me how!

The reason that the expression is not removed when you delete the slider is that the expression is only reading the slider value, the slider doesn't know that the expression is there. There's no reverse link.
You can build more professional effects but that involves editing the xml file that tells AE what effects are applied. This still would not generate a reverse link to an expression.
Enabling or disabling an effect only changes the way things are rendered. If you have keyframes on a Lens Flair Brightness and you disable the effect the Lens Flair will not render but the keyframe values will still be available to an expression. Again, there's no reverse link. Since an expression slider does not make a change in the pixel values of a layer turning the FX switch on or off will have no effect on an expression reading the value.
The "trick" in creating an Animation Preset that uses expressions and is removed with the "effect" is removed from the Effects Control Window is to only write expressions for properties that are available in the effects used. You could do this by applying the Transform Effect, or the Levels Individual Controls Effect, or the CC Composite Effect to the layer and writing the expression there instead of placing your expression in the Layer's opacity property. Take a look at this screenshot.

Created a custom sound. How to save this "instrument" as a preset in Logic?

I have created a custom sound using the ES2 plugin and I have added some effects to it. How do I save this new "instrument" as a preset? and can I chose what folder to put it in/create a new one?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

If you want to save an instrument patch together with plugins and so on, you should save it as a channel strip.
Use the channel strip menu at the top of the channel object. There is a defined directory for user channel strips, but you can create folders within it and organise your channel strip settings as you like.
These settings will show up in the channel strip menu, and the media browser too.

Brush presets / tool presets - confusion

I'm by no means a beginner (I think this I'm in my 15th year using Photoshop..), but something that's always bugged me is the difference between brush presets and tool presets. It's never been much of an issue in the past, but I'm spending an increasing amount of my workflow drawing digitally using various brushes, and I'm finding these two different ways to save and import brushes quite confusing. If I've altered a brush, and want to save it, what are the advantages / disatvantages of saving it as a tool preset, or as a brush?
I have my favourite pencils saved as tool presets, which works fine, but I don't see what the brush presets do that is different from this. Is there a 'right way' to organise / save brushes? What's actually the difference between the 2 things? Are they totally interchangeable?

So going by what you said, that means the Tool Presets store tool specific settings (flow, opacity etc), as well as the brushes themselves. Is that correct?
Brush Presets (see Brush Preset Panel, not just the Brush Panel) can be used by all painting Tools. Tool Presets refer to a specific Tool but can indeed hold a Brush tip that has been removed from the Brush Presets.

[Photoshop CS6] Windows 7 - How to add "Brush Angle" circle to Brush Preset

How do I add this:
To here:
Thanks.

Reset your Brushes so you just have the default set loaded.
Set up a new brush using the Brush Presets panel. (Probably set Angle Jitter to 'Pen Tilt' but we don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve.)
Open the brushes panel, and click on the little cog icon, and then on New Brush preset. Give your new brush a meaningful name.
Last thing to do is 'Save brushes' in the same menu, and you new preset will always load with the default brush set. Or save it with a custom brush set. Whatever works best for you.

Premier CS3 how to save your settings (Presets) ?

I installed my Premier CS3 on my new PC and wanted to use some of my old PRESET setting that i have saved on my other PC...
Ok here its :
On my old PC i modified let's say a Trapcode plug in and saved it under PRESET , basically i chnged certain prameters within that plug in and saved it under a new name, now that i upgraded my PC and reinstalled my Premier on the new PC, is there any way i could go to my old PC and somehow save that file and use it on my new PC, so when i try to use my old preset, i get the same settings ?
thanks !

Ok Harm here its..
I used the Magic Bullet's MisFire on one of my clips, but you know how you goto effect control settings and change certain parameters and then you can save it under a user PRESET, which appears on top of all effects as Presets, ok there we go .
so, everytime i wanna use the MisFire i goto Presets on top of effect page and use that one instead of the actual MisFire from Magic Bullet video effect section, that way i don't have to change any parameters , its already set the way i wanted to look !

Save brushes preset without a save dialog

I managed to get the basic code of saving the brushes preset by using the Scripting Listener plug-in.
Only problem is that it keeps popping the file save dialog.
I'd like to dump the dialog and save the brushes file to a predefined file path.
Is it possible?

OK. Got it.
If a file with that name already exists in that location, you need to remove or rename it first before you save.

How to save picture name preset in Aperture

Hey Aperture freaks,
I do not find a way to store my individual name preset of the section picture import
Can somebody give me a hint
System : MacBookPro with 10.9.2 plus Aperture 3.5.1
Background : had to reinstall my system by reloading all original software. With this you get the standard set-up for file naming in the picture import section. the archive recovery I have done and have all pictures and its working files back, but what is missing is the user surface setup of APERTURE, which I had before. This has been not stored in the recovery file
What did I do wrong
Thanks for the helps
Best regards
FJ
n.b.: in the attachment I put a screenprint of the input section I am talking about

but what is missing is the user surface setup of APERTURE, which I had before. This has been not stored in the recovery file
How did you restore your home folder after you restored your system?
The file naming presets and other presets you are looking for are stored in your user library in your home folder in the folder
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/FileNamingPresets.plist
Restore the files in this folder from your backup before you erased your drive, e.g. FileNamingPresets.plist
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture

I can't adjust my Brush Presets in Photoshop CC when using a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet.

Hi.... I hope someone out there can help me with this. I'm using Photoshop CC with an Wacom Intros 2 Tablet. I want my Brush Tool preset to be "Soft Round" so I can create smooth consistently shaped lines when clicking & dragging along the straight edge of a selection.
When I attempt to do this in the Brush Presets Panel it seems to be locked on "Shape Dynamics" with Pen Pressure control. Whenever I switch both of these off & try to create a different brush preset it will automatically jump back in to the same settings, even after locking the Brush Preset & creating a new Brush. What I end up with when clicking & dragging is a fine point at one end of the line & a soft round brush effect at the other end. Very frustrating! I don't have this problem when using a Mouse, and a friend who is using Photoshop CS5 with an Intros 2 tablet is not having this issue either. Is this just another one of the few glitches I've noticed with Photoshop CC? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6? Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

I don't believe there is a square brush among the sets that ship with Photoshop, but there are plenty to download, and it is super easy to make one.
Just drag with the rectangular Marquee tool, fill with black on a new layer, and go Edit > Define brush preset

Using brush presets in Flash...possible?

With the stree of "integration" with the
CS3 suite of products, is it possible to use brushes from photoshop
and import them somehow to be used in Flash?
Basically, I have some great brushes in photoshop that I
would like to use in Flash. How can this be accomplished? In the
Flash help file, searching for BRUSH, I read what I interpretted to
be that Flash CS3 could use brush presets. But I saw no way to
import them, nor anyplace to change the brush presets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pressure and tilt options for brush do not come up till you place your pen on the tablet and click on the stage.Once clicked they start appearing ,sometimes these options are hidden, you can resize your tools panel to see the options.And slow response is a known issue and we are tracking it.You can refer to this thread for more details :http://forums.adobe.com/message/5454376#5454376.
