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!

Gang!
I just know you’re gonna LOVE these! Especially those of you who use iPhone, because these are Valentine’s Day iPhone Wallpapers.
Feel free to download and install them on your iPhone.
Needless to say, these were all made with a little (or should I say big) help from my friends Photoshop brushes.
But not just any Photoshop brushes. Oh, no!
For this special effect I created a special set of brushes which I named – “Bokeh”.
Why bokeh? Well, while in photography, bokeh (shortly: aesthetic quality of the blur) is easy to create with almost any kind of camera, in graphic design many people find it desirable but hard to create.
I bet you’d like to do something like that and then show-off on Facebook, or Flickr, or your blog, or Photobook, etc … etc … right? :))
No probs!
Tomorrow, I will post a video tutorial on how to create and use bokeh (effect like the one on the images above) in your daily designs :)
So, tomorrow is a very special day, with a very special tutorial! Stay tuned!
Love,
Silvia

Last night I dreamt that my cat Poofah whispered to my ear:
“Make the February Calendar Desktop Wallpaper… make the February Calendar Desktop Wallpaper… “
I opened my eyes. Poofah was sitting on my pillow. Starring at me. In silence. Her yellow eyes were glittering in the dark.
Just a distant howling of the lone wolf. Owl shrieked and flew away. Clouds were passing by the full moon.
OK. I exaggerated a bit with this wolf, moon and owl thing but still, I look at Poofah in suspicion ever since. And silence is all I get – ever since.
Anyways, I just had to make sure that such nightmare won’t happen’ again so I sat by my computer, opened some of my favorite Photoshop brushes and voila: February 2010 Calendar Desktop Wallpaper is here (Download link is below)!
I know you won’t miss the Poofah influence in the design. Sorry, I could not escape it :)
So, enjoy these wallpapers or enjoy even more creating your own designs with the superb Photoshop brushes from my little shop of wonders for designers :)
Love you all!
Silvia (the one from the woods, but I’ll explain that later, maybe in the P.S. :)
P.S.
Ok. I’ll explain that now.
My name, Silvia, in Latin, means – the one from the woods.
Archaic Latin alphabet does not have “Y”, that’s why my mother insisted that my name was Silvia and not Sylvia. Anyways, I might even turn into a werewolf once a month for all that I know :))
P.P.S.
Now, that got me thinking. I might even call my next company “Werewolf designs” … uhmmmm … cool …
Download February 2010 Calendar Desktop Wallpaper here:
To create this wallpaper I used the following Photoshop brushes:
 |  |  |
| Photoshop Brushes: Valentine’s (21+21) Second Edition + 21 PNG files | Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32) | 2010 Calendar Photoshop brushes set (3×12 – 36, US version) |

Guys,
I received sooo many questions about using Photoshop brushes with Photoshop Elements that I just had to go and make a video tutorials on that topic.
Now, I need to add that I’m totally not surprised that Photoshop elements is so popular these days. It is a great piece of software and unless you are a heavy duty designer pro it will do just fine for all the usual bitmap editing tasks.
It even imports my Canon 5D RAW file format which I can not do with my Photoshop CS4.
I prepared four video tutorials on how to use my Photoshop Brushes and PNG files in Photoshop Elements 8.0.
First video will show you how to work with Photoshop brushes (<- 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET on this link) in Photoshop Elements and this time I used Hearts (grungy) Photoshop Brushes set:
Second video is showing the easy way to work with PNG files in Photoshop Elements, and in this one I used my Tattoo PNG files from Tattoo Photoshop Brushes second edition set. This one I did together with my hubby. He did the narration:
Third video will show you how to create photo masks in Photoshop Elements (ver. 8.0) using my Christmas Photo Masks PNG files (free for GBG members, and if you are not the member you can join here):
And fourth video will also show you how to create photo masks in Photoshop Elements (ver. 8.0) using the same Christmas Photo Masks PNG files but in a different way:
I hope you’ll like the videos. I did not record audio because I’m a shy person, but all that matters is there. Just follow what I do and you’ll be just fine.
OK. That’s all for now, thank you for your supportive emails and your comments on GI Facebook fan page! I love you all!
Silvia
