painter classic question

[Dr3w]

I got a copy of classic with my new tablet

but i have question

if i use the pencil(or any tool) on like 50% opacity and size 2

THEN use a brush

when i return to my pencil its on default size and opacity of 100

can u make it store ur previous settings? if so where

ALSO wen i had a trial version of painter i registered it online and got free brushes- can i use these in classic?

They r all in .xml format-where do i put them?

You must save the adjusted brush as a variant. Click on "Variant" > "Save Variant" in the "Brushes" palette.
I haven't used Classic in 8 or 9 years but this is how you
do it in the full versions.

.XML is for Painter 7 only. Earlier versions contain a totally
different brush engine using the .brs extension.

Join this forum...I think they cover Classic as well as the
other versions of Painter.
