Photoshop 'get more brushes' when Affinity products installed as well

[t65]

Hi all

I have a problem installing downloaded brushes from the 'get more brushes' link. They download as 'affinity enabled' abr files and don't seem to want to be able to be moved into photoshop. Any ideas much appreciated?

Thanks

Hi @t65 

It sounds like a file association issue. Your OS thinks .abr belongs to Affinity and you need to change it in the OS to Photoshop.

• Mac: Right-click in Finder > Get info > PS
• Win: Right-click in File Explorer > Open with > PS

Be sure to choose "for all files" and not just for the one.

Hello Jane, What is PS? Also not seeing Get Info

Hi Tom,

• PS is Photoshop (sorry for the shortcut)
• "Get Info" is in Finder.
  Right-click any Photoshop file > Get Info
  Select any Photoshop file > Cmd+I
  Select any Photoshop file > File menu (Finder) > Get Info

Thank you. I also dragged it from downloads.

You can also save the .abr file directly to the presets folder.  That's a useful thing to remember because you can rename the .abr files to make them list in your preferred order in the Brushes panel.
