I have the Mr. Natural Brush by Kyle T Webster for Photoshop [ ] and would like to use it in toon boom, and I was wondering if I just had to import the brush texture, or if there was a way to get all the brush settings into toon boom to make its own brush preset.

I understand in Photoshop CC 2020 you no longer use the Preset Manager to import brushes. I know that there is now an IMPORT BRUSHES... choice when you look at the menu attached to one's already loaded brushes. But, when I select that and go to my brushes folder, I see no abr files at all.

Anyway. It is piss easy. Download the brush set from the internet, then open your File manager/Finder, navigate to your Downloads folder - and - wait for it - double click on the .abr file. It goes straight into your Photoshop CC2020 brushes.

What about is it under, I am new to 2020 version and I downloaded my brushes but going to edit,presents and present manager does not give me brushes. Only contour and tools.. I have also went to import and export I dont know where all the brushes are I have imported

Just use the program for your version of computer. For example - where do you usually find files that you have downloaded??? Find them, and click on the .abr file and it will automatically find it's way to Photoshop and load itself into the Brushes directory.

Then when you open Photoshop, click on Bruhes and SCROLL DOWN to find the new brushes - you can not see them from the top of the brush setting. You may also have to click on the new brushes to see more than one of your new brushes - usually there are lots.

Fran this was extremely helpful, I have been searching the internet to figure out how to download previously purchased brushes. I have a Mac & it is exactly as you say; find the ABR file in my downloaded files (finder for me on a Mac) & double click. When it asks in a pop up which application to use, choose Photoshop. DONE. Thank you!

Hello, I suggest to create a thread on the site, watched by Adobe staff. Make sure to provide as many relevant details as possible, especially stating the version that you are using.
Did you try to delete the preferences?

I still can't solve it I tried this and it just says 'there is no application do download this' and when I hit Search App Store to find the app I'm apparantly missing, it says there is no app available in my Country/Region. on Mac ios, creative cloud, Photoshop2021

Having this issue with the 2022 version and this is the only thing that worked. Thank you so much!!! But also why won't the doublt click, or the import method work? How is anyone ment to figure this out on their own? Ugh..

I'm having trouble with my brushes. I did double click on them but not on this newer version of photoshop (2024) any ABR files tells me it can't be opened and need to find a proper program to open them and to look into the App store for one. How come??

I bought Affinity photo a couple of days ago because I'm sick of being Adobe's cash cow and still working on adjusting. ;) Well... I made a lot of brushes in PS and am wondering if they can be imported to Affinity photo.

EDIT: regarding searching this site, its search engine is not very good. I use Google or Bing instead, with " site:affinity.serif.com" appended to the end of the search term (note the leading space) to confine the results to this site. For example, Photoshop brushes site:affinity.serif.com returns 400+ hits (link uses Google).

At least on Macs, you can also just drop an .abr file onto the app's icon (either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer) or right click on one & use the "Open with..." contextual menu item to open them in the app, which automatically imports them. There are probably equivalents for Windows, but I don't know what they would be.

Thanks for the info about the Windows task bar behavior. I have to confess that since I have not used a Windows PC for over a decade, until I started participating in the Affinity forums, did not know (or care) much about the differences between the two platforms. Now, I try to make allowances for that by mentioning that something might be different for Windows vs. Macs.

BTW, Plan_B did mention that he was using Windows 10 in his first post ("BTW... I'm using Win 10") so I knew that much when I made my first reply (& why I edited it to include the link to the Google search results).

Sorry about the gender assumption! For reasons that probably will be unclear to almost everyone, I somehow associated your name with a different Plan & its writer, producer, & director. I blame it on too much blood in my coffee stream this morning. :wacko:

:) At least in the U.S. Plan 9 from Outer Space has a considerable cult following because it is widely considered to be the worst movie ever made, so horrifically bad that no other movie could possibly dethrone it from that "honor." Ed Wood (the film's writer, producer, & director) was the subject of Tim Burton's Oscar winning movie of the same name (starring Johnny Depp as Wood), which generated renewed interest in Plan 9 & an appreciation (if that is the right word) for its world class awfulness. B)

I think Miguel's comment about "strange tastes" was not about your reference to Plan 9 from Outer Space, but instead about your remark that you had "too much blood in [your] coffee stream". I suspect that he may have failed to unravel it sufficiently to understand that you were really just saying you didn't have enough coffee in your bloodstream. ;)

Ah! That was an I guess too obscure play on words on the phrase "too much coffee in my blood stream." It is just intended to mean I am dysfunctional if I do not constantly maintain a high enough caffeine level in my blood stream. Maybe it is just a U.S. thing but it is popular enough to be used as a slogan on tee shirts, in e-cards, & the like.

It's also in part due to a shortcoming in the English language. If the gender is unknown, there isn't a way of using a singular pronoun to refer to someone without identifying them as either male or female, so historically 'He' or 'His' has been viewed as gender inclusive and therefore correct if the gender is unknown because continuously writing 'He/She', 'His/Her', He or she', 'His or her' would make reading and writing rather tedious and cumbersome. Although now it's commonplace to change the singular to plural and use 'Their' or 'They' instead (due to them being gender neutral), technically using the plural form to refer to a singular noun or pronoun is grammatically incorrect, hence the language dilemma.

i'm trying to import the brushes from dropbox but it's greyed out I go to the brushes menu import brushes go to dropbox from files but they are not active however if trying to export from ipad dropbox to affinity it opens.

The solution can be via implementing more methods for brushes, brush tips, etc, and for importing/deleting resources. interface and ability to preview/select them. Then it could be easy to make a script which:

Good quertion! If they propereties could be customized by script, it would be perfect. My experience is - 99% abr brushes are imported and then created just as Pixel engine brushes with e.g. 400 pixels size. Even this option would be wonderful.

I am very interesed in this, but i would like to say something related to that, as far i know we only get the brushtip from Photoshop Abr. files, at this point somebody made something similar but in an asking way why it cant be posible to do that external or 80-90% of sucess.

This is something have been discussed in many ways, but i believed there is a solution could be done if more people are intereset in this, starting with seeing the example how Procrate engine could be done a good example how they import abr brushes they can do that too.
At this moment there is not answer to do that for the moment.

I know the answer is most likely no, but is there a way I can import my sketchbook brushes into Photoshop? I love them so much but sometimes I need to work in Photoshop and it's frustrating not being able to have the brushes. I've struggled to recreate them in Photoshop, but as both have different ways of adjusting brushed it's hard understanding what needs to be changed so I was wondering if it was possible.

I want to find out if there is a way to paint in blender like in pts, I learned digital paint, I have to learn about blender, so I want to find out, create 3d models and draw on it, thank you very much.
It is similar to this software: -krita-to-blender-3d-and-automatic-updates-change-krita-and-photoshop-files-psdjpgpngbmp

theres two things about textured brushes. one is you may need a larger image/more space on the uv islands to get the full detail. the other is kind of the inverse, sometimes the brush is too lowres and so can only be enlarged so much before it starts yielding pixelated results.
