Using the search function will get you to the information quicker. I don’t mind pointing you in the right direction, but I notice you posted at 4:15 and I am just now checking comments. brushlibrary, but I’m not totally sure about that. Type Brush installation and it will bring up the videos or pages related to brush installation. To find a video or something on the subject which is of interest…in the blog banner is a search function. Then to change libraries, all you have to do is click on the one brush in the custom palette and Painter will change to its library. You can pull one brush from each library on a custom palette. You just didn’t know how to re-open the default library. I’m pretty sure you are not doing anything wrong. You are currently on Cool Springs, so click on Painter Brushes and the Painter Brushes will be back. You should see Painter Brushes, the default library Painter 11 Brushes, contains brushes as they were in Painter 11 and Cool Spring. Look down the list to Brush Library and click on it, which will open another list…the list of libraries. Click the button and a fly out menu will open. On the top right of the brushes drawer, you will see an option button. To change between libraries, click on the brush selector, which opens the brushes drawer. You can only look at one library at a time, but all libraries are still there. If you have downloaded say…Cool Spring.brushlibrary, then it creates a new library in Painter and switches to that library.

One would be “name”.brushlibrary and the other “name”.brushcategory.
