How to Import Brushes Into Photoshop?
Once you have Photoshop open, you can easily access the brush settings panel by clicking on the "Window" menu at the top and selecting "Brushes."
You'll see a hamburger menu icon in the top-right corner of the brush panel. Click on it and choose "Import Brushes" from the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you can select the brush tool from the left toolbar in Photoshop. Then, click the dropdown arrow next to the brush size in the toolbar and click the gear-shaped button in the top right corner. From the menu that appears, select "Import Brushes."
Any of these two methods will open a window for importing brushes. Locate the location where you have saved the brushes and click on the desired brush to successfully import it.
Photoshop brushes are typically saved in ".abr" format. For example, if you have downloaded a brush file named "smokes_and_fog.abr," locate it and select it for import.
Once the import is complete, the newly imported brushes will appear in the brush preset list. Scroll down to the bottom of the brush options panel in Photoshop, and you will see the brushes you just imported.
