CS2 Will Not See Brushes

295 views4 repliesLast post: 10/6/2008
Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.

When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn't work.

I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.

Can anyone help me?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? Your post was ambiguous you said you're using CS2, but you put the brushes in a CS3 directory. I assume one or the other was a typo. If you are using CS2, you would put the brushes in a CS2 directory, etc. In any event, brushes are forward compatible, but not backward. In CS2 or CS3 you can use brushes made in an earlier version, but not vice versa. I don't think brushes created in CS3 will work with CS2, which might be the problem.

Im using CS2. My apologies for the directory typo. It should have read "program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS2/presets/brushes"
