Hi - I'm looking at purchasing a brush collection that says it's for Photoshop.  Does anyone know if brushes from Photoshop can also be used in Photoshop Elements?  I am wondering the same thing about textures.  Thanks.

Hi, Here is a YouTube video that gives a good explanation of installing brushes into PSE.

How To Add Brushes To PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS

A similar procedure should work for installing textures, but I have not tried it.

A majority of the brushes will work, however, there are some exceptions, like Brisle Brushes, Tool Preset Brushes, etc.

 

Can you provide a link to the brushes your interested in?

 

 

Yes the textures should work no problem.

The brushes are ABR files. You should install them in the appropriate directory (?WINDOWS, ?Mac). They should work.

Yesterday I installed a gradient without a problem. I have not had occasion to add textures.
