Quick tip 28 – Install brushes in Photoshop

This is part 28 of the Photoshop quick tip series where you will learn how to install brushes in Photoshop. I have provided a list of free Photoshop brushes that can be downloaded here.

1. Firstly, you will need to download your brush.

2. Then go to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Brushes (Windows machine) and copy and paste your downloaded brush.

3. Open up Photoshop and click on the Brush tool (B), open up the palette and select the Brush preset picker. Click on the little triangle at the top right, and then on the drop down menu click the ‘Load Brushes’.

4. Finally, choose the .abr file you want to load and the brush will appear in the Brush palette.
