Hi! I just wanted to thank you for these brushes… I’m looking to try my hand at creating a poser character, and I spent hours last night painting one set of eyeshadow, that frankly, I don’t care for! lol… I think these may be just the thing to save my sanity! :) So, thank you!!! If I do manage to get it to work, I’ll be sure to credit you!

@Sara: Well, I’m not a GIMP user at all, so what I’ve done is did a search through the comments on my “Installing Brushes” tutorial for “GIMP” and found a few things that others have said that might be helpful for you:

“Make sure you restart GIMP or reload the brushes!”

Another says:

“Eureka…. after loading the brushes, double click on the eyelash brush of choice which will bring up the brush editor. Click on the arrow to the far right which will bring up the brush editor, click on Add Tab and then on Tool Options.”

Another one says:

“After you have unziped the file, go into the file, double click on the file then do this Just use

Edit -> Copy
to copy the current layer, and then
Edit -> Paste as -> New Brush

This Should help you, it may take longer but I garenty you you will get all your brushes, I hope this helped you all” (I personally don’t think this is absolutely needed… from what I understand, these brushes ARE usable in GIMP without any adjustments. But, this is a possible workaround.)

And another:

“Quick note to Microsoft Vista and Gimp users: I could not get the brushes to show up at first… you’ll have to “right-click” over Gimp and click “Run as Admin” to get the brushes to appear after install. If you fail to see the brushes after following the posted instructions, I would recommend trying this before trying to re-download.”

Hope these help!

Hey Stephanie! I love all of your brushes, when I unzip them, they won’t show up at GIMP. What shall I do then? I have try to unzip it like 10 times? I saw you brushes, and it was beautiful! I really want to use it. Please help me.

@Caro: What do you mean, your document? When you go to try to use the brushes? Or the ZIP file? If it’s the zip file, it may just be a bad/corrupted download, in which case you just need to download it again.

In any case, check out my tutorial on how to install and use the brushes in my sidebar, that should help!

@Kristina: As the tutorial says, the program SHOULD be in your Program Files > Photoshop > Presets > Brushes (in Windows) folder. Mac: Applications > Photoshop > Presets > Brushes

That’s where you want to put the ABR file. NOT the ZIP file, which needs to be “unzipped” first.

Then restart Photoshop, and it’ll be with your other brushes. That’s it!
