Loading and using brushes in Photoshop Elements (129 seconds video)

Author: bsilvia

I received a lot of questions about using my Photoshop brushes in Photoshop Elements.

Here is a short video (129 seconds) to show you how to use my (and any other) Photoshop brushes in Photoshop Elements:

1. Loading brushes
2. Decorating a family photo

So, here is what’s going on on video:

1. Select Brush tool (Shortcut “B”)
2. Expand Brushes palette
3. Go to “Load brushes”
4. Browse to the directory with brushes and select “Swirls butterflies PREMIUM set” -> Load
5. Select one of the brushes
6. Make sure Hue Jitter is 100% (that is if you want color to vary)
7. Adjust the size of each of the butterflies by pressing [ (to decrease) or ] (to increase)
8. Place butterflies around the image

This is just a small intro to answer some of your questions related to compatibility of Photoshop brushes with Elements. This video was done in Elements 6.0

Hi Rob! Thanks :)
Just, I’m not sure I understand what you mean? Could you please be more specific?

Silvia, these brushes are great! Thanks! I have PSE 5.0 and this is my first time trying to load new brushes. I can get the brushes to load, but it doesn’t seem to save them for future use? Is this how it is or is there something I can do to save them permanently in my brush palette? I don’t want to have to load them every time… perhaps it’s an Elements thing? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Amy, unfortunately I don’t have PE 5.0 but it works fine in PE 6.0.

Okay, so I figured it out… for some reason when i was saving the set it wasn’t saving automatically to the default folder within PSE presets. So when I manually told it where to save it worked and all the freebies I downloaded are saved nicely in brush sets now. YAY!

I am so in love with your brushes… been playing with them pretty much nonstop. I made myself a new banner for my etsy shop (http://amyzo.etsy.com) and a new baby announcement with one of the swirls and ink splatters (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13863215).

LOVIN’ IT and I’ll be back for some premium brushes soon.

Thanks for doing the work for those of us who need the shortcuts! :-)
