Since photoshop 7, Brushes became a very usefull addition to the digital artists of today. With the new brush options PS7 presented, came a new line of usefull photoshop brushes that made painting in photoshop a better experience then before. So why not share those brushes with each others, share each others tricks and brushes and recieve asspats from those who will find use in your brushes.
Rules are: They have to be made by yourself
How to:
How can I share my brushes?
I am sure that allot of Photoshop users have a large cluttered collection of brushes, and allot of users like that because they know where to find it all. And others have everything nicely sorted, and only need a short flick of the scroll wheel to point them on the right brush to use and all share useful names.
Save.
What do you need to first is to save your current selection of brushes (So when things go wrong you still have your old library).
This is easily done by clicking on the brush tab until the little bubble arrow appears, once you have the arrow, click on it and a dropdown appears.
Now go to "save brushes". A file browser pops-up and asks you to give the brush library a name, so name it to your liking and click "Save"
Sorting.
So now I want to sort out the brushes I want to share. Ok so I repeat the previous steps again until I get to the dropdown part, and now I click on "Preset Manager" instead.
This will pop up a small window filled with thumbnails of your brushes. (It will be easier to identify your brushes by clicking on the little arrow and set the thumbnail to "stroke Thumbnail) Ok so now the task is to throw out all unwanted brushes. Just click on any of your brushes and drag them out of the little window. This will remove them from the list.
Continue dragging brushes out of the list until you have left a collection of brushes you would like to share.
So click on done and you will notice that you only have the brushes that you want to share in your list.
You can also rename your brushes by right clicking on them and click on rename brush. This will be handy for those who identify their brushes by name.
Save again, Upload and post them here.
So now you have your brush library all nice and tidy, ready to be shared with your fellow artist's.
You only need to save them and upload them somewhere, rapidshare, megauplad etc. So repeat the saving steps again, and give them, a name like "yourname’s pimpin Brushes"
Thats it!
I will share some of mine soon, once I cleaned everything out.
edit: If anyone would have a problem uploading files via rapid share or whatever, here is a neat little trick that enables you to hide rar files in images and so it could be uploaded via imageshack.us or similar
