Strange things afloat with the keyboard operation and I know that u mention a USA keyboard and using a "tilde" key but this does not replicate on a board set up as UK but worked when switching to US apart from hassle of having to hold down so easier press the E key couple of times.

The first brush you select appeared to be a hard round but I noted that when I select from General bruhes in the 2022 release on subscrip of PS and updated to latest your brush under settings has "Build up" checked but those available in General dont - in fact I went thru a whole gambit of brushes and none of them check the build up box so wonder if you could confirm why yours has this checked? Nevertheless it does not seem to do much??

Is there a way of exporting a particular brush settings so that the settings can be used on another brush that I was endeavouring to design. I re-watched this video where are you drew a simple pattern of curves against a straight line and created a brush similar but different. When I tried to put in” dual brush” the only way I could get it to work was to arbitrary pick any other brush shape or dynamic?

Ctrl+Alt doesnt work for me for brush size change and hardness change.
