Presets for Adjustmetn Brush?

I just found out last night that there are presets for the Adjustment Brush. Are there many and do they work compared to the defaults already available in LR? Will there be any added benefits to add more Adjustment Brush presets?

The brush comes with a few stock presets, although I don't find them to be terribly useful (they don't have much to compare against in terms of presets in other areas).

There are lots of benefits to adding your own new brush presets. Just like other presets in other areas, creating them here saves time. For example, I have a preset for eyes that adds some clarity, saturation and exposure. I have another that I use for teeth whitening. Setting these allows me to simply select the brush, choose a preset and start editing. Otherwise, I'd be switching my settings each time.

Also, I attached the two presets I mentioned (iris whitening and teeth whitening). Feel free to download them and drop them in your Local Adjustments Preset folder to give them a whirl.

Thanks Brian.
There are not many around, are they?

Sure thing - I hope they help a bit!

Pat - no, there don't seem to be many to download on the web, at least not in comparison to standard development presets.

You probably know about all these sites, but here are some links I've saved. You're right, there are very few adjustment presets around. I like Matt Kloskowski's "Lightroom Killer Tips". I noticed he had a couple of Adjustment Brushes in his free presets. His site is here:

There is also Preset Heaven: http://www.presetsheaven.com/

Of course, there is the Adobe Exchange. I like it because they have theirs rated: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=productHome&exc=25
