Silly question but, where (what brush collection) should the Airbrush Pen Opacity Flow brush be in?

I have CS2, download version, windows. I can't see any such brush in the ones that came with CS2 scratches head

I was reading an older issue of ImagineFX , one artist noted using this brush so I went to give it a try and...nada...hm.
Did I miss installing them as an extra, or what?

thanks for any help :)

pretty much "any" brush can be used. the airbrush is more of a brush setting.  the "flow/opacity" settings can be found in the option bar after the brush tool has been selected. you can enable the "built-up" airbrush effect by selecting the checkbox in the BRUSH PRESET palette

you really see the power of it when using a draw tablet like WACOM over using a mouse...

Ah!! i was pondering if it was could be just a setting,  but I don't know PS well at all, but way it was written sounded like an actual brush.

Thanks that's very helpful :)

I've got a Graphire Mk1 (or is it Mk2?), need to upgrade at some point:
 found the driver/tablet.exe is causing odd problems with "server busy" errors. (don't think it can use more recent drivers?)
