Yes! I got all the brushes... (and I got my other plugins back as well) I never would have been able to do it without your help... I seriously appreciate all the time you've spent trying to explain this stuff to me. Seriously... thank you!

<br /><br /><br />Thank you!!That did it, Paint.net is back, when I click on it, it takes me to it. Unfortunately, now it no longer has the effects I've from gotten from plugins... Although I kind of feel like I deserve that for being such a retard.

Hold on... I just REALLY messed up. I was fooling around with that stuff to see if I could get it to work, and now when I click on PAINT.NET it takes me to that ABRView place with the brushes... It's like I've completely replaced Paint.net with it! What I did was 1 clicked in "ab" 2 then clicked on "ghost amplitude brushes" (which is the smoke brush) 3 then I clicked on "save" instead of clicking on "open" 4 then I think where it said "save type as" (ABR File) I switched to "all files" and I clicked Paint.net. 5 which has COMPLETELY turned PAINT.NET into that list of brushes... I tried to fix it by going into the P.N files PROPERTIES ...THEN OPEN FILE LOCATION... I saw the file which was there, so I clicked delete (thinking if I deleted it, Paint.NET would go back to the way it was... but now (because I've deleted it, when I click on P.N it takes me to nothing I looked, and all the files are still there, (like in the effects folder all is still there) but I can't actually get ONTO Paint.NET anymore... Do you know how to fix this?

BUT... when I just type "ab" a bunch of things pop up... they're all the brushes (and I think a brush pack from a while ago) that I've downloaded. A lot of them are the same thing (because I've downloaded the same thing multiple times in various attempts to get it. One of the things that pops up when I type ab is the smoke brush. Does this help at all?

I typed in abrviewimages and there was nothing. It said "No items match your search" ... ? By the way, that tutorial's video started working, and I watched it (although it didn't tell how to get these brushes onto P.N) I feel like I'm so close to getting this... I'm just not quite sure what I'm missing...

<br /><br /><br />The video won't work for me, I'm not sure why, though... But I did download it, I did the Windows (exe) http://www.easyelementsextra.com/ABRView.exe ...one I'm not sure what to do with it, though... I went to "Add another directory" and then I clicked on Paint.Net user file and then I clicked on custom brushes... And it's there, and I can preview the brushes... but how do I then get them from that, onto Paint.net? So I can actually use them...

<br /><br /><br />Okay, I clicked where that tutorial said "(This can be downloaded here)" the "HERE" link... I then saw, "Looking for the latest version? Download Release_NET20_2.0.rar (60.0 KB) I clicked on that linkThen up came the screen "what what you like FireFox to do with this file?" I clicked "save" and NOT "Open" The little "Downloads" window popped up, which means I did indeed download it.... (it was " Release_NET20_2.0.rar. ") I can't figure out how to use, or where to find whatever it is I just downloaded, though... What am I missing, now?

That "say" was supposed to be "saw." And Yay, I finally stopped replying to myself! lol

<br /><br /><br />I already tried to do that (right before I asked "what do I do now") When I extracted from that brush I downloaded from "Brusheez", there were three files that I copied, they were: Soke Brush preview........... JPEG Image smoke_brushes............. ABR file Ghost amplitude brushes...... ABR file I selected all three of those and copied them, I then doubled clicked on that "custom brushes" file you helped me find... I then pasted those three things into that "custom brushes" When I then turned Paint.net on, and went to effects, then tools, then custom brushes... I say what was basically the ICON of the brush I downloaded... but that (just like the other images) is a square image... Here's what that image that it put there looks like... http://brusheezy.cdn.eezyinc.com/system/resources/thumbnails/000/017/195/large/smoke_brush_preview.jpg?1295542233 It's from the Brusheez page I downloaded it from. It's not a brush.

<br /><br /><br />Okay, I found that, and there are four files: Custom Brushes... type FILE FOLDER Effects presets... type FILE FOLDER Palettes... type FILE FOLDER PSFilterPdn... type XML Document What do I do now?

What is an OS? This computer is a widows vista.

Thanks for that link, hadn't seen that page yet. I was going through the steps, and I've downloaded a brush from "Brusheezy"... but then I see this (the next step): "Where do I put the brushes when I download them? CustomBrushesMini v1.9 uses .png files, so its best to make sure you download these to use. Once you've downloaded the files, THIS PART >>>> just place them in your "Custom Brushes" folder (Usually My Documents\Paint.NET User Files\Custom Brushes). Once your files are in here, just go to the CustomBrushesMini console (Effects>Tools>CustomBrushesMini), and they should be there." So, I'm supposed to extract, then copy (like always) but instead of putting them in the PAINT.net/EFFECT folder, I put them in my "Custom Brushes" folder??? How do I find that folder? When I said I was computer illiterate, I wasn't joking. lol One problem I seem to have is not knowing how to locate certain folders, or even finding out if I have this folder! So, I know it's a dumb question, but how do I find that "custom brushes" folder?

Do you upload brush plugins any differently than you do other plugins? I always put them (by them I mean any and every plugin I ever try to use) in "effects"... is that the wrong place to put them? Here's the brush I was really trying to get: I was trying to get that smoke brush... is the problem with THAT plugin? (Like it doesn't work with the new Paint.net, or something like that?)

Hello there, As you can probably tell, I'm a newbie... I'm also, (not exaggerating at all) the most computer illiterate person you will ever come into contact with. So bear with me... Here's my question (hope this is an appropriate place to post it): How do I get "custom brushes" onto Paint.Net? I've already gotten the "custombrushesmini..." plugin in my effects and then "tools" place, but when I click on it and then click "ADD BRUSH" it only lets me add pictures from my computer (which are all square images.) I've managed to get a few plugins from this forum, and I've figured out (for the most part) how to get them, extract, then copy, then add to "EFFECTS" in paint.net and actually use them... But I can't for the life of me get any brushes onto my Paint.Net. Any help would SERIOUSLY be appreciated.
