Thanks,

I did not see the configuration video among the tutorials but now I realize it´s because I had choosen version 10.

There is much testing before you learn the settings but this is a good start.
In the tool-settings theres a Bin-feature.
I understand it works like when you click there current brush to a kind of tool-archive.
Is these Bin just temporary or are they saved?

they are saved.
... at least when you quit tvpa properly,
in case of crash, they will be lost, so to secure your custom-brushes saving,
imo it's preferable to store them in a custom panel (... grab current tool ),
... then save the custom panel by exporting it (.tvpx file) somewhere on a secure HD.

Yes I have used the export bruhes when working with others or wanted to use a set of brushes in a project.

It would really be nice if there was a kind of manual listing what all the settings mean.
And a few basics on creating spec brushes.

But I guess I have to testing and have a look at how the other brushes are created.

These are two utility buttons I use to analyze the parameters of tools and brushes. Comes in handy sometimes. Also I'm uploading a PDF tutorial on setting up a custom brush panel.

Thanks! Great!

I am starting a project where I plan to explore the brushes.
I might come back with questions.
