While in Edit Mode you can delete several selected buttons with RBM-menu command.

  • Only the button will delete the button from Brusherator without deleting the preset and thumbnails (useful if you have the same button on several shelves)

  • Button and thumbnails will delete the button and all the thumbnails, but leave the preset in Photoshop

  • Button, thumbnail and preset will also delete the Preset from Photoshop
