Loading Brushes into PS by JamesRushforth

You must download the file to view the tutorial.

With the release of each new brush set I get a flurry of notes asking how to install the brushes into PhotoShop so I finally succumbed and have written a simple tutorial taking you through it step by step.

Enjoy

Replace brushes? Surely using "Load Brushes" is better?

GeeksUnited Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2012

Do they work with CS5?

Thank you!

Hey there. Amazing set! You may have already answered this, but in case not - would your brushes be compatible with CS3? (10.0.1, specifically). Thanks! Would love to use these, if so.

Great Tutorial!! Thanks for sharing!

lisakatejoy Featured By Owner Mar 13, 2011

i cant find the tutorial or how to use any of this, please help

MadCanuckster Featured By Owner Mar 15, 2011 Student General Artist

Click the "Download Image" button just under the "Add to Favorites" button. A new window will pop up. In the new window, you'll see the actual Tutorial, NOT the preview image that shows up when you enter the link. When the tutorial loads in the new window (it may take a few seconds to load), then Right-Click-And-Save. So remember: DO NOT Right-Click-And-Save on the preview image! ONLY click the "Download Image" button, and THEN download it. I hope that helps.

)

Thanks for posting this! It helped alot!

Rineth Featured By Owner Sep 19, 2009

Mm... When I choose "replace tools" the file doesnt show up? I think it's because it's a abr file and the type of file it can load is only TPL??

i follow all of the steps and once i get to having to browse for the brush i had dowloaded, i cant find it
and i need it for an english project and its slowly draining the life outa me

ZombieSaysWhaa Featured By Owner Jul 23, 2008

Wouldn't it be easier to press 'load brushes' instead of 'replace'?
Because, that just replaces all of your old brushes with that one set.

And, to those who said that their original brushes went missing, (as they will, if you press 'replace'

you just press 'reset brushes' and it will ask you if you want your default brushes back.

Falling-Pixie Featured By Owner Jun 15, 2008 Professional Photographer

lets say... you have version 7.0 of PS and your brushes wont load to it... i know it may be useless to ask but, is there anything i can do about that? (besides buying a diff version)

kiri-tard Featured By Owner Apr 25, 2008 Photographer

but how do you download the brushes off deviantart in the first place?

Summon-The-Wolves Featured By Owner May 6, 2008

When you're looking at the brush deviation, there's a download button on the left of the picture. It's above gallery, prints and profile. In the little pop up window.

kiri-tard Featured By Owner May 8, 2008 Photographer

thanks im slightly blind

Summon-The-Wolves Featured By Owner May 9, 2008

Haha, that's okay. I'm like that too sometimes.
I'll be looking for the vegemite in the pantry and i swear, sometimes it won't be ANYWHERE. So i get someone else and they find it in a second, right in the middle, sticking out like a sore thumb

makes me feel like an idiot!
