Video on How to load and use Photoshop brushes in Photoshop Elements 9
Gang,
Many of you ask me whether the Photoshop brushes from my shop are compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
Well, the answer is: Yes.
Actually, here is a little video I made to show you how to load and use Dandelions Photoshop brushes and Spring Foliage Photoshop brushes set (56+56) .
How to load Photoshop brushes from GreenBulbGang.Com and Graphics-Illustrations.Com into Photoshop Elements 9
As a matter of fact, all Photoshop brushes I ever made (or will ever make) are (and will remain) compatible with:
1. Photoshop 7.0
2. Photoshop CS
3. Photoshop CS2
4. Photoshop CS3
5. Photoshop CS4
6. Photoshop CS5 (and future versions, I test them on each new version)
7. Photoshop Elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
8. GIMP
10. With a little help from abrViewer (freeware application) you can use my Photoshop brushes in pretty much any software that works with .png files.
Also, all of them can be used in your commercial projects, as long as they are used to decorate your designs and not re-sold in their original shape. They are all hiQuality brushes that can freely be used for print and not just web / video projects.
So, I hope this clears things up a little. I also hope more of you will decide to buy some of the brushes as they are (unlike most of the stuff being sold on Internet) useful to anyone who is into any shape or form of graphic design, photography or digital scrapbooking.
And finally, for those of you who’d like to buy everything I ever made for an affordable price here is what to do:
1. Buy 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET I (that’s 50% of Photoshop brushes I ever did)
2. In the purchase confirmation you will get a “50% off everything” COUPON CODE
3. Use that coupon code to get 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET 2 for half the price
And that’s it. All of them are yours!
Guys! I wish you a very HAPPY EASTER! Enjoy it!

Humans!
(Now, what did you expect me to call you? You call us cats, it’s only fair that we call you humans, no?)
Anyways, it was brought to my attention that a number of humans don’t have Photoshop (which is totally ok, because it’s not very cheap, I know, you can get loads of cat’s food for that kind money…).
Also, I was led to believe that many humans, who don’t have Photoshop, would still like to take advantage of beautiful Silvia’s Photoshop brushes.
Many humans would like to use it as .png files for their scrap booking, digital stamping, photo albuming, graphics designing and web producing, even Power Point presenting projects.
And that is not all. Apparently, a number of humans already have Windows 7, and good old abrViewer, reportedly, does not work under Windows 7.
So, how do we convert these beautiful Silvia’s Photoshop brushes to PNG files – I hear you ask?
Piece of cake.
Here is what to do:
1. Make sure have the latest version of GIMP
2. Copy the great bsilvia Photoshop brush by pressing Ctrl+C on it
3. Paste that brush into the GIMP brushes folder (In Windows it is C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes)
However, to make sure, of if you are using Mac (lucky you!) you can check the GIMP brushes folder in GIMP, by clicking on Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Brushes
Photoshop brushes to PNG files using GIMP
4. Start GIMP and open a new file (make it as big as you would like your PNG file to be, I made it 4inx4in at 200dpt for printing)
Open a new file in GIMP
5. Make sure you are working on a transparent layer (that’s if you want to have transparent PNG file in the end)
Placing a Photoshop brush in GIMP
Place the brush on the transparent layer (actually delete the background layer should you have one)
7. Save this file as PNG
Saving Photoshop brush as PNG file
That’s it.
Now, you have a beautiful PNG file created from beautiful bsilvia’s Photoshop brush.
Meow!

So, in last post we talked about Paint.NET and how to get Photoshop brushes into it.
Now, it’s only fair that we say a word or two about GIMP. Just like Paint.NET, GIMP is also free Image Manipulation Program. It was interesting to notice how Paint.NET had only 1.6Mb. That’s, like, really really small. GIMP seems to be a bit heavier – 17Mb.
So, let’s see what’s GIMP‘s functionality when it comes to brushes and how could we use existing Photoshop brushes in GIMP.
So, here is the procedure:
1. Convert Photoshop brush to .png
- Start abrViewer
- In abrViewer, click on load brushes and select the folder that contains .abr files (Photoshop Brushes)
- Double-Click on the brush set that you would like to convert
- Go to Export -> Thumbnails and select the location for .png files
2. Import that .png brush to GIMP
3. Go to File-> Save As -> <somename>.gbr
4. Make sure to save it into <GIMP installation folder>\share\gimp\2.0<version No.>\brushes
And Voila! You now have Photoshop brushes in GIMP!
OK. I made one GIMP brushes set for you. For free of course:
– download free version of Swirled Floral Edges GIMP brushes set (4 brushes) ->
There are four brushes here in this LITE version. If you are after creating your own designs or scrapbooking, or if you are a photographer looking to enrich your photos or photobooks you will surely want to get more of these. So for full PREMIUM version of (including commercial license) click here and be amazed on how cheap they come and how useful they are ->
Of course, to make the ultimate save for the ultimate brushes make sure to click on the banner on the right hand side (by the way, that’s my friend Mirta pointing with her finger :)) and see how you can get all of my ultimate edition brushes for 1/2 the price AND get ADDITIONAL $10 bonus (this $10 bonus is time limited offer so if you’re interested, now is the best time to buy)!
Anyways, that’s all for now, I hope you learned something new and I’m looking forward to see your works, so please, keep’ em coming! I’ll feature them on this blog.
Love,
Silvia
