Installing and Using Photoshop Brushes

INSTALLING A BRUSH SET

1. Unzip the .zip file that you downloaded from

This is the file we’ll be installing.

2. Open Photoshop, and choose the brush tool from

the Tools Panel. Then click the down arrow on the
Brush Preset Picker (Fig 1).

3. A dropdown will appear containing all of the current

brush presets. Click the small cog icon in the upper
right and choose “Load Brushes...” from the menu.

Brush Preset Picker.
