Here is my answer to the question below: > 53a.Can I use brushes from other software such as Photo Shop or Paint > Shop Pro with the GIMP?
It seems that there are two versions of brush files that are used by Photoshop. The earlier one is also used by Paint Shop Pro but the later one is used only by Photoshop. The good news for GIMP users is that there is a utility called abr2gbr that can convert the earlier Photoshop brush files into GIMP format brush files. Unfortunately this utility is available only for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, although once the brush files have been converted they can be used with the GIMP on other operating systems. One major difference between the Photoshop and GIMP brush files is that while the Photoshop file can contain more than one brush, the GIMP utilises a single file for each brush. abr2gbr caters for this by outputting multiple GIMP brush files when it converts a Photoshop brush file that contains more than one brush. abr2gbr can be downloaded from http://the.sunnyspot.org/gimp/tools.html. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
