Do a search for your “GIMP” directory, then. You likely installed it somewhere else. Then the rest of the path where you’d place it is the same from there.

There’s only so much help I can offer for GIMP, I’m sorry – I’ve never used the program.

Try restarting photoshop. If you install them with it open, they won’t show up until restart. Other than that, they should absolutely work. If they still don’t, try a re-download. Let me know if I can help any further!

I downloaded them, can see them in the folder, moved them to the Adobe Photoshop/presets/brushes folder and they do not show up anywhere in the program when i open it. Any recommendations?

Click on the “how to install” button (next to the download button on every resource page), then click on the “unzip the file” link on that page

It will work just fine in PSE 6, yep. I don’t have Elements to tell you what you’re doing wrong, precisely, but make sure you restart Photoshop if you install them with it open, make sure they’re unzipped, and make sure they’re in the right directory.

forgot to mention one important thing. to be able to put files into the brushes folder and make a link you have to change the owership of the folder. to do this right click the folder and move your mouse over the scripts and click browse as root. this will open up a new window of the filesystem-usr-share-gimp-number. now in the new window right click the brushes folder and click properties. go to the permissions tab and change the owner from root to your user name. close the properties window and right click the brushes folder again, But this time click make link. a laucher folder with the same name and slightly different icon will appear. drag it to your desktop or home folder for faster access to the brushes folder.
In case anyone wonders, I am using Ultimate Edition Ubuntu 2.9 it is a tweaked version of Ubuntu 10.10 and I am 64bit

to install brushes into gimp if you are using linux is not all to hard. but you do have to go through a lot more files to do it. I suggest creating a desktop shortcut once you find the file you place the brushes into. Here is where to go. *Note 64bit

first open places and click on file system. here is the order and folders to open and get to where you place brushes.
usr-share-gimp-should only be one folder-brushes.
its a bit a hunt to get to the folder and you could lost for hours trying to find it. Hope this helps you guys
