Question on downloading Brushes

[madhacker14]

Hello im reaaaalll new to GFX, and Im doing this tut on how to make my first sig, and it requires me to download some brushes, Im using GIMP 2.6 I believe.
I did exactly as it said, i download them and i extracted one of them to

C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes

Then I opend up GIMP, and I cannot find my brush, exactly, how do i download brushes correctly? And if i did download correctly exactly where can i find my brush so i can use it?

I know its a noob question but i really wona get into this stuff

Thanks people!

First find the brush you want and download it.

Save it somewhere you can find it for example your desktop.

If its zipped unzip it, if its in a folder take it out of the folder.

Then goto Start - My Computer - Local Disk C: - Program Files - Adobe - Adobe Photoshop CS2 - Presets - Brushes (assuming you have windows xp)

Then drag and drop the brush you downloaded into this folder.

Then open photoshop (if you had it open already close it and go back in)

Once open click on the brush tool then in the top right hand of photoshop there are 3 tabs one is brushes one is tool presets and the last is layer comps

Click brushes, then on the tab a little button will appear click it and a drop box will appear.

Then at the very bottom section of the drop box one of the options will be the name of your brush set.
