There seems to be some great brushes there - even some useful ones! I can't wait to get home to download a few. Thanks for the link.

Are these brushes only for Photoshop (CS) and not PSE 5? I'm having an awful time downloading them. They don't appear anywhere on my C: drive after several attempts.

I hope you are following the links correctly from the front page that Sam posted

For example - the very first one is for "Oil Stains" and by following the links you should end up on this page : http://www.box.net/shared/7mv0r6gadl

In the middle of that page is a button that will download a zip (compressed) file to your computer .... where it goes depends on what you have your computer set to do.

Once you have it on your computer you will need to extract the compressed file using winzip or Winrar. Then put the extracted file into your program's brushes directory.

But it does say they are Adobe Photoshop brushes .... compatability is never guaranteed.

You need to be aware as to what file on your harddrive you are downloading them to. If they are downloaded in a .zip file they will need to opened to the .abr files. (As Dave said you may need to extract the compressed file using winzip or Winra.)

The *.abr file will need to be moved to: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop X\Presets\Brushes where X is the version number for your version of Photoshop.
Brushes created in Photoshop 7 or later will not work in earlier versions of Photoshop. Any Photoshop brushes should work in Photoshop 7 and later.

From the Brushes Palette in Photoshop, click the small arrow in the upper right corner of the palette, and choose load brushes. The brushes will be added to the current brushes.

Also, there is a tutorial on YouTube for Downloading, Installing, and Using Brushes in Photoshop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi4ZePnvrPE) if you need to see the process visually. This tutorial teaches how to use, download, and install brushes for photoshop! It runs about 10 minutes. Maybe it will help.

These brushes are fantabeedozie (in Scots means fantastic). I downloaded some at work today and they are heavy duty megabytes. I have had no internet for 5 weeks and had to buy a mobile internet dongle for my lapdog so am limited to what I can download until the whole thing is resolved. I am off to try them on my heavy duty desktop which is getting on my nerves it is so slow until I can get into the machine to put in the extra memory which I bought about 3 months ago. Thanks for the link.
