PHOTOSHOP HELP: How do you change brush files from adobe to a zip?

I find a lot of brushes set are saved to adobe and not to a zip. Is there a way to open them in adobe or to convert them to a zip so that I can download them into my photoshop program?PHOTOSHOP HELP: How do you change brush files from adobe to a zip?
Your question is a little confusing. From my understanding you need to load your brush file into Photoshop. If this is the case then you need to locate the file - it should have an icon with a little brush and the file should end with .abr. Then Open Photoshop and go to Window - Brushes Find a little triangle and click on it. It should open a pop up window. Point to Load Brushes and direct it to your brush file. That should do it.PHOTOSHOP HELP: How do you change brush files from adobe to a zip?
You really need to know and understand what a ';zip'; file is. A zip file is created, generally by WinZip, and is a ';compressed'; file of the original file(s). A zip file is totally useless except for transmitting and storage as it will be smaller in size than the original file size sum of its content. The files within a zip file must be extracted, in other words -- uncompressed, to be used.





If you still want to know how to ';convert them'; or compress them into a zip file, download WinZip. With some study, you will be able to compress files as you might desire.
Maybe I need more coffee, but your question isn't making any sense to me.





Let me see if this helps: Brushes that are available for download are usually presented as a zip file. You download that zip file, then extract it and place the brushes (they are .abr files) into the brushes folder.





From inside Photoshop, you then load the brushes into the tool.
