:blushing:  Ok, I know, without a doubt, this has been asked numerous times...but, for the life of me, I can't find a discussion thread for it.  So, I apologize in advance for re-asking what is probably a tired question for you guys and ladies.

Ok, I've recently discovered the awesome fun and beauty of postwork...got some awesome actions for CS...didn't have one problem getting those working.  My problem is the brushes.  I can't get the brushes to show up on the brush menu.

Now to show how much I haven't used many functinos in CS...do the brushes have to physically be in the brushes folder like the actions, or can you import them from a folder elsewhere on the computer, for example a folder named "Brushes" sitting in the My Documents folder?  I'm sitting at my desk at work thinking of this, but, haven't had a chance to try it yet, so I may have just answered my own question without realizing it.

Now, yes, I'm a newbie with many things with CS, so a simple "you dork" will be enough to let me know to go back and transfer all the brushes to the folder in the program itself. :tt2:

 

Thanks for any advice

Don't use Brushes as much as I could so I'm assuming it's like everything else, and for quickest access it should be where the defaults live in general I've found, so yes the brushes dir, then accessed by opening the brush browser and going to the arrows an selectingI thenk brusheds and append or replace or your choice really...don't have PSCS on this box either so I can't look...LOL

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

You should stick your brushes into the folder: Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS2PresetsBrushes You can put them into their own folders in the brushes folder if you like. Helps to keep things organized. If Photoshop is open when you put your brushes in the proper folder, just close PS and restart it. When it loads up, all you should have to do is create a new document and right click anywhere in the document and click the little arrow in a circle at the upper right side. This will show you a text named list of all the brushes in the folder. Select the brush set you want to use, and you're ready to go. Hope this helps!

Very cool!!  After I posted, I thought about it and was like, "Well duh!!"  If the actions effect have their own folder, it's logical that the brushes would as well.

 

Thank you both for the help.
