Ok well i downloaded these brushes for photoshop 7.. Do brushes for photoshop 7 work for cs? If not is there a way to convert them? If they do work how do i use them in photoshop... i put them in this folder...
I'm looking for brushes to download online and I'm finding several brushes that I like that are .jpg files. How do you install brushes that are .jpg files such as at the following link?
I am trying to created a graphic like image in the following tutorial: Â [URL]...
how to do it right.  1.) At 1:40 into the tutorial, he selects a diamond pattern as a Pattern Overlay effect. However, it's a pattern he created himself. How do I create a pattern like that? 2.) At 4:35, he draws a line with the pen tool having first selected a brush and then strokes the path. However, my path doesn't look like his. It's just a straight line, while his splays out a bit so he's able to create that shining star effect when he rotates a copy. I've attached a jpeg of mine.
What am I doing wrong to not get a line like his? Am I not choosing the right brush. I chose a brush with the diameter of 17 like he does in the tutorial. Does it look like I selected it from a different place?
When I use a brush (like the airbrush, the clone, the eraser) I cant see the brush when I go to use it on the image (the edges of what will be be painted, cloned, etc), so im having to do blind guess-work---basically i just click and then I can see how big the brush was. In prior versions of GIMP there was a semi-transparent line indicating the brush shape and size.
I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
Can parts of an Illustrator brush be removed or erased where they overlap on an angle. Obviously straight portions are not a problem and can be handled by moving the anchor point of the path. However, I have created a pattern brush with 6 parallel lines and I am designing a typeface for a Typography class. There are areas where the brush lines overlap.
I have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ... and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).  I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work. Nope.  I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection - I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process.
I wanted to use paint.net with Animated Image to convert some gif animations to png animations and in the process reduce the file size of them as well.
I downloaded the files and unpacked into "effects" folder but I can't find anything in paint.net.
Opening a gif animation only results in a flat image.
How do I re-install AI CC after it's been uninstalled because the initial install was corrupt? AI isn't availbale for download again in the app section of CC.
I've some problem with CS4, Often i use in my keyboard shortcut keys "first brush" and "last brush", because only two brushes most useful for me. But i use also other brushes, which i m making. And new brush becomes behind my "last brushes". How i can moving brushes on brushes palette? Or can i to appoint keys for each brushes.
When I try to select brushes in my brushes panel, this panel now contains so many brush names, that it no longer fits on my screen. How can I empty that list of brushes?
i just recently downloaded some brushes and i was wondering how do i add them to the dropdown brush list? (the list where it says Assorted brushes, basic brushes, etc)
I have over 200 brushes for Photoshop CS3 and I use a 42" computer monitor. When I go to my brushes I'm only able to see the brushes up to the letter S and the rest are off screen. Is there a way to get them to display without the obvious way of deleting some of them?
I can see brushes in Preset Viewer that Photoshop cant see. Preset Viewer is set to limit itself to .abr files, which of course is all that Photoshop sees when youre loading brushes, so . . . why can I see some .abr files in Preset Viewer that I cant load in Photoshop CS4 for Windows?
I have been using version 5 for years now and I’ve been looking into getting CS but the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is the brush control. I’ve been used to just selecting the opacity (like 10%) and using my stylist and going over the area and getting darker much like a traditional airbrush. I have played around with the flow and opacity but can’t get the look and the feel of v5. I don’t have all the time in the world to play around with it because it’s my friends computer, I just want to know if it can be done or if they have fazed that out with the newer versions.
I've seen so many people talking about brushes... can someone actually tell me what they do and show me what can be done with them? I have a fair knowledge about photoshop and I just want to advance my skills by finding out what other sort of stuff you can do with photoshop..
I lost my precise preferences for the brushes and all I have is a 1-3 pixel brush. After that it defaults to the icon. Our IT guys seem to have misplaced the original cd.
I've gone through the reloading of brushes, preferences and I've tried Adobe Studio exchange, but no luck. I desperately need be able to get the precise brush size preferences back.
does any have any gun bruhes? i saw this one post that had some that said there were sum at devient art but when i went to devient art and tried to download it it just came up with a screen with a lota letters and numbers.....
How can I do this? I have a bunch of very nice brushes, with perfect settings that I would like to copy to my thumbdrive so I can use them anywhere I go. Where is the file that has my brushes? I thought it was in the Photoshop/presets/Brushes folder, but none of the .abr files there appear to have my brushes in them.
1. A "wet brush" (PS7). it gave a look like painting with slime.
2. A brush that gets Thinner in the end of a stroke. Like the stroke of a pen / feather. Or does anyone know how to get this effect, maybe with another technique.
Did they cancel those strokes or am I to blind to find them?
Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.
When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn't work.
I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.
With the new paint brush features, specifically using the mixer and the new brushes, every paint stroke I make just lags and gets stuck, hanging until it catches up....I have a Xeon Quad and 18 GB of RAM in my pc.....Is there a special way to set prefs or something else??
I'm running an older system (WinXP 32-bit, 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM (733 mhz), lots of hard drive space (more than 1TB), 1-gig video card (ATI Radeon 4xxx series), 3GHZ intel dual-core processor, Photoshop CS5  I do a lot of painting, and some of the brushes I have are a lot slower than others. Example- some brushes produce almost no lag, while others produce severe lag. (The slower brushes tend to have a lot of settings in the brush panel such as texture, scattering, dual brush, etc)  I'm planning to upgrade my system soon - I'm considering 8 gigs of DDR3 Ram (2400mhz), a 3.4GHZ i5 quad-core processor, an upgraded ASUS motherboard, and probably stick with the remaining hardware for now. I'll eventually move on to 16GB of RAM. I will also be using a 64-bit version of XP and maybe even go up to Windows 7 64-bit (If I can set aside the time for all the headaches that come with something new like this)  My question is, with an improved system like this, would I expect to see the lag drop significantly on these slow brushes? Or is it just the brush itself which is slow and an improved system will have no impact? I do very little in the way of filters, 95% of my workflow is pure painting with a variety of brushes and not too many layers for the most part (usually less than 50 and closer to 10 on average). So my main concern is trying to remove the slowdown when painting.
