Nice guide. but is this for all versions of photoshop or what?

Great guide, but goes to the guide forum.

the brushes are basically just picture iv tried putting them in my brushes folder but they wont load since they different format what do i do after i get them ????????????

Well, for your brushes to actaully work, they actaullly have to be brushes and they must be in the .abr format.

glad you found it

to find the folder you go to Program files>Adobe>photoshop cs2>presets>brushes

and i delted the brush pack i used because it was getting old sorry
