Loading Brushes in Adobe
Photoshop 5.5 |
The
following Adobe Photoshop Tutorials will explain step
by step how to load brushes in several versions of photoshop.
These tutorials are starting using Photoshop version
5.5 , Version 6
and Photoshop CS.

To
make the Photoshop brushes palate appear in photoshop
version 5.5, press the F5 key on the keyboard, or go to
'Window' (up at the top) and select 'Show Brushes' you
should now have a floating palate as seen on the left.
This contains the default set of Photoshop brushes. |
 |
To
add photoshop brushes to this palate, click on the small
arrow in the top right hand corner.
A small drop down menu will then appear as shown, highlighted
in the screenshot on the left. |

The safest way to manage your brushes is to keep them
all in one safe place so they don't get deleted by accident.
You can also organize your photoshop brush sets into separate
folders e.g. grunge brushes, flowers, textures etc.
I keep mine in the Photoshop's default folder, on a PC
its found in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 5.5\Goodies\Brushes,
this may differ depending on where you installed the original
Photoshop program.
The next step after you have selected the 'Load Brush'
is to locate the brushes, browse to find the folder and
select the new brushes you want to load. |
This will then load the new photoshop brush set to the
palate as shown in the screenshot above.
tip: now that the new photoshop brushes are loaded
exit out of Photoshop, this will save the new changes
you have made. If Photoshop or your Operating System crashes
while Photoshop is running you will have to load all the
brushes again.
To view the new loaded brushes use the scroll bar on the
right hand side of the palate, or enlarge the palate window
by dragging it down to make it longer.
To go back to the default set see the resetting
brushes tutorial for more details. |
