Heres how to get PS Brush packs into usable PNGs that the "Draw with Custom Brush" tool can recognize!

Unzip it and run the executable inside.

I suggest that you make a new folder somewhere to keep all your PNGs in.

Open your brush pack (.abr)

Once they've all loaded set your thumbnail size to 500 (Sorry I have mine at 700 in the screenshot, but I just learned that 500 or 1000 works the best)

Click [Export>Thumbnails] and save them in your brushes folder.

Go into PDN and open up your Draw with Custom Brush tool.

Click "add brush" at the bottom.


Pick your brush, wait for the plugin to write it's new brush list and have fun!

OR Add all of your brushes at the same time.

Go to My Documents>Paint.net User Files>Custom Brushes
Select which brushes you want to add in a different explorer.
Drag the selected PNGs over to your user custom brushes folder.

I always wanted that blood splatter pack XD

Thanks! I've got like 100 some brushes on my real computer.
Tip: The more brushes you get, the longer it take for the list to write after you add it.

Interesting

Maybe I should ask the author if he minds me using the abrviewer code so that my plugin can read photoshop brushes.

[morphedkirby]

Tha'd be nice.

Have abr files look like folders while your browsing your brushes... then when you click it, it opens up all the brushes in that pack.

Also wtb up to 500 size please

Actually, no. The user was probably trying to join using a Yahoo email address.

Anyway, back on topic, people!
