How to Load Brushes in Photoshop (TUTORIAL)
So, let’s say you found a really cool set of Photoshop brushes. If you are a beginner you might ask yourself how to load brushes in Photoshop?
Step 1 – Download the Brushes
When you click on the download button you will get an ABR file(Photoshop brushes) or an archive(ZIP file or RAR file).
Save the file on your computer. To avoid this common question “Where are m Photoshop brushes?”, don’t forget the path where you save it as you will need it later on.
! The Photoshop brushes have the .ABR extension
If you get a ZIP file/RAR file, you have to right click on the file and extract the files.
The reason is simple: in Photoshop you can only load brushes files with ABR extension.
Ok, now that you have the ABR file on your computer, let’s move on.
Step 2 – Pick The Brush Tool (B)
Open the Photoshop. Pick the Brush Tool (B).
Step 3 – Load the Brushes
Click on the little arrow to open the Brush Preset Picker. Than click on the other little arrow button to open this menu.
Simply click on the Load Brushes option.
Now, you have to browse your computer and find the ABR brushes file that you want to load.
Click on the file to select it and press the Load button.
Step 4 – Check The Brushes List
Open again the Brush Preset Picker to see if the brushes are loaded correctly.
The most recent added brushes are put last in the list. So, scroll down and check the new added Photoshop brushes.
Sometimes when I load brushes in Photoshop, I see only one new brush in my list, not all. I guess this is a Photoshop bug.
To fix that, I have to delete a brush from the previous brushes. Right click and choose Delete Brush.
