@collin: Ahh, GIMP. Well, my tutorial explains how to install brushes in GIMP, as well.

What you downloaded last time was my “image pack”, and those aren’t brushes. They’re just JPGs, which you were perhaps using to then MAKE into brushes.

However, if you would learn how to install brush SETS, you wouldn’t keep needing to do all that work on your own. These brushes will work in both Photoshop & GIMP, on both Windows & a Mac. And in the brush file, they’re all already made into brushes for you. Check out that link in my sidebar that explains how to install Photoshop brushes in GIMP, and it should save you some time. :)

If you still end up having trouble with it, just download the image pack again, and that’ll give you the JPGs.

ah, well I am using GIMP. so I don’t have that folder. It was strange because at my dad’s I am almost certain I extracted a different file for each brush, like you usually would for gimp brushes. but when I got here, it was the file you just described. do you know how I can get those separate files again?
thank you for your time

@collin: It works exactly the same for a Mac as it does for a Windows PC. You need to unzip it, and within there should be a text file and an .ABR file. You put that ABR file into your Photoshop > Presets > Brushes folder, and then it’ll show up with your other brushes. That’s it, basically, but if you want more details, I have an “Installing Brushes” tutorial in my sidebar.

If you don’t have an ABR (brushes) file in there, then there may have been a corruption with the download or somesuch.

Hope this helps!

I downloaded this on a Windows the other day. I absolutely loved the brushes. I got home to my mac and tried to download, and all I get when I download it is a zip with one folder in it, in the folder it has 2 things. one is a text document explaining rules, and the other i don’t know what it is called, but it looks like a little grey screen. can someone please tell me how I can upload this onto my mac!?

@Akane: They should work with GIMP as-is. You need to unzip them, of course, and here’s a tutorial that explains the installation (look at the bottom for GIMP): http://www.obsidiandawn.com/installing-photoshop-brushes-gimp-tutorial (It’s also in my sidebar)
