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

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.

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.
