Tutorials::Using an Image PackIntroIn this tutorial, I am going to explain how to use Image Packs to download brushes. An image pack is a pack of images with brushes on it. They are used when you want to use brushes, but the brush set that you downloaded is not compatible with your program. Image packs are very simple and easy to use.Step 1First, download the image pack you want to use. It usually comes in a zip file. When it is finished loading, right click on the zip file and select "Extract All" or "Unzip File" or some other such thing. If this isn't an option, just double click on the zip file and drag the file inside onto the desktop.Step 2Then, open the images inside the folder into photoshop. You might get many pictures with one brush on each, or a big picture with multiple brushes on it. If you download one of my image packs, this is something that you may get: Clickety!Step 3Now, take the marquee tool (a dashed box) and surround one of the brushes. Step 4Go to Edit>Define Brush and then name that brush something like...smileyface1. Just type "smileyface1" into the text box and click "OK".Step 5Check all of your brushes now. Scroll down all the way to the bottom, and you should see "smileyface1". Now try using it on a seperate canvas. It works! :) Hope this tutorial helps! Remember, if you download something and it isn't compatible with your program, don't let it keep you from downloading brushes.OtherI tried doing what you told me to do, except I couldn't surround this brush without bumping into another one. What should I do? I try to make it easy, but sometimes I make mistakes. This is easy to fix. Just use a small, white, round brush and cover up that part of the other brush. Don't worry. Just hit Ctrl+Alt+Z (Undo) as many times as you need to undo the part where you cover up the other brush after you are finished naming the brush. It doesn't undo the download of the brush when you do this.
