Subject: want to add brushes to brush folder
New brushes have to be added to PS. You can put the new brush files (.abr) in any folder (I put mine in C:/Photoshop/Brushes/; which is NOT where I have photoshop installed, its just an easy folder for me to find) or you can put them in the photoshop folder, whichever you prefer. Photoshop doesn't load them all, it loads a default set.
Select the brush tool, then go to the brush control panel and select Load Brushes in the upper right. Load the brushes you want from whatever folder you put the new brushes in. This will add the brushes to the end of the current set of brushes.
You can make your own sets of brushes so you can load just a certain kinds. For example I've got about six different kinds of cloud brushes all loaded and saved as a Cloud set. I can switch to just that set when I want to make clouds, makes them easier to find when you have a few hundred sets of brushes.
Or you can add ALL your brushes to the default set and photoshop will load them all when you start photoshop, but I don't recommend that.
maybe it is some weird windows problem. I have a bunch of brushes in the PS/presets/brushes folder but when i go to load them from within photoshop they dont show up in the window...this includes all the brushes that Adobe puts in this folder when you load PS on your HD.

and again I find another counter-intuitive problem with PS..So I got curious about the ABR files in that folder and decided to double-click on one of them for shits and giggles. photoshop pops back up and loads those brushes......WTF

so here is yet another anomaly about photoshop. I bought some brushes from DAZ a while back and now that I have CS5.5 I want to add them to the app.
there is a folder with brushes(ABR files) and I put my new brush file in there with them but PS dosent see them and I cant find a button or menue item for bringing them in. I also noticed that there were more brushes in the brush folder that came standard with CS 5.5 that arnt loading with the program.
