I wonder if your .abr is computed? 3. How about posting the file here so we can check it out? Yes, I have placed it in the Filetypes folder, after unzipping. (I read this entire thread before I started.) This is the Zip as I DL it from www.brusheezy.com. I opened the zip and removed the file. But somehow, after I put in the same folder as the dll, it got permanently associated with being opened by PDN, and I cannot undo that as far as I can determine. Working in Settings, It wants me, not to REMOVE PDN, but to select something from the MS store to substitute for PDN, and the choices it offers me do not look like anything that would open this type of file.

I am able to open that file, and all the brush images load correctly.

I would not use the "right click on the brushes folder" to find the brushes. This is how I do it. 1. Make a new folder and unzip the brushes from the Zip folder. 2. Open AbrViewer. 3. Go to File > Open brush sets. 4. Navigate to where you saved the unzipped folder of the brushes. 5. Click on the unzipped brush icon. 6. The brushes will then upload into AbrViewer. 7. To export back to the folder from whence they came. 8. Change the thumbsize to 500. 9. Choose Export > Thumbnails. 10. Navigate to the folder where you saved the original file. 11. Find your Custom Brushes folder in paint.net and add them there. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Well, I have tracked down ABRviewer, but I don't know what to do with it. Where to put it, how to open it and use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never put ANYTHING on the desktop, and wouldn't have the faintest idea how. THe programs I use regularly are on a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. There are three files in the ABRviewer zip, the .exe, a .exe config, and a miscutil.dll. I thought I read in the thread that ABRviewer was no longer needed?

Pixey Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 You will, to use these brushes, need to download either Custom Brushes Mini, or Dynamic Draw. 1. Another way is to open Dynamic Draw in paint.net 2. Click on Add Brushes. 3. Navigate to where you unzipped the brushes, click on the brushes > Open. 4. All of the brushes will now be in Dynamic Draw.

I think this mess is why I gave up on added brushes before. I don't understand it, and I don't know what I need to DL or what to with it if I can find it.

No, just look at the menu on the right side in Dynamic Draw and you will see an option "colorize brush" and click on the box that says 'color'.
