User Library

Your personal brushes, images, and subgraphs, ready in every project.

Omni Library tab

Your own reusable assets, kept outside any single document so they show up in every project. Three kinds: brushes, images, and subgraphs.

Find them in the Omni menu's Library tab (Cmd/Ctrl + P or Tab), grouped by source: your User Library, the Magerie Library that ships with the app, and whatever is already in this document.

Where it lives#

A folder of .mage files:

  • macOS / Linux: ~/.magerie/user-library/
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.magerie\user-library\

Each .mage in that folder is one library. To add to it, drop a .mage in, or Save As a document into the folder. Rename or delete the files to curate. The folder is not made for you; until it exists, you just see the Magerie Library.

Using an item#

Click an item in the Library tab to bring it in:

  • Brush: copied in as a brush node, and added to the brush picker.
  • Image: dropped as an Image node.
  • Subgraph: dropped as its own independent copy.

Everything from your User Library is copied into the document, so the file stays self-contained and opens correctly on any machine. Items from the Magerie Library stay as lightweight references instead.

Brushes and the picker#

Your User Library brushes live in the Library tab, not directly in the paint brush picker. The picker shows the Magerie Library plus the brushes already in your document. Bring a library brush in once and it joins the picker for that document.

The Magerie Library#

A curated set of brushes, images, and subgraphs ships with Magerie. It is read-only: drop one into a document, change it, then save the result into your own library to keep it.

Coming#

An in-app Add to Library action, so you can save straight from a document.
