I'd like to keep my current brush size when switching between Photoshop brush presets. Is there a way to do this?

No. Presets are specific sizes.
You can change the Brush Tip Shape or other options and the size will be retained.

1Wait, I figured it out. In CS6, when adding a brush preset, there's a checkbox for 'Capture brush size in preset'. Uncheck this, and you can switch to a brush preset, that has no brush size, and thus keep current brush size. Feb 20, 2015 at 21:18

1Yes if you create the preset yourself. Most stock preset have the size associated with them.– ScottFeb 20, 2015 at 21:21
You cannot keep the current brush size when switching to a brush preset that has a set size.
If the brush preset, that is switched to, has no size, then the current brush size will be retained.
I found a nice workaround. When you import a new brush pack and you see a number below it, which indicates the brush size. Just click on the brush, then below click on the (+) button, create a new preset with exact the same brush but UNCHECK the "capture size". Now you got the same brush without a predetermined. Just erase the other one with the number. Done.
