Brushes in CS2

[Bethy]

If I download brushes off of a site like "Brusheezy", how do I get those into Photoshop to use them?!

hello Bethy,

There is couple ways, so let's go :D

1. When you select the brush tool go to the Option Bar and from the right side of the word brush you'll have small down pointing triangle (arrow). Click on that arrow and you'll get window where you can set the master diameter of your brush, hardness, different brush... and at the top right corner of that window you'll have small circle with right pointing arrow in it. So again click on that arrow. And in fly out menu choose LOAD BRUSHES... And in LOAD window browse on your hard drive where your brush is located and select brushes you want to load and click on Load button and your brushes will be in your brushes menu.

2. If you are Windows user go to C drive>PROGRAM FILES>ADOBE>ADOBE PHOTOSHOP>PRESETS>BRUSHES and just copy and paste your brushes in that location. Your brushes will be listed in brushes menu.

- If you are MAC user go to APPLICATION>ADOBE PHOTOSHOP>PRESETS>BRUSHES and same procedure as before.

TIP: you can open new folder in Brushes folder and name it "mybrushes" to divide Photoshop brushes from yours brushes. With this you will always know what is your brushes and won't be cluttered with Photoshop default brushes.

Hope this was helpful.

See ya
