Unfortunately, yes, Photoshop brushes do work in Elements and can become addicting. (I just downloaded 2 really cute sets of Easter Bunny brushes and a set of custom shapes.)





It's also unfortunate that they're easy to install into Elements. I have PSE6 but installing hasn't changed too much in the recent versions. You'll download a zip folder. I usually download the folder to my Desktop so I won't have to hunt for it. Right click on it and click on Extract All.





Find the extracted folder, right click on it and click Copy. (Don't open it, just right click on the folder.)





You use Windows Explorer to put the extracted folder into PSE's Brushes folder. I open Documents and use the Windows Explorer on its left side. Scroll down to Computer and click the +, then click the + next to C:, Click the + next to Program Files, then the + next to Adobe, the + next to Photoshop Elements 7.0. Scroll down and click the + next to Presets and scroll down to Brushes. Click it to open, right click on an empty space in the white area over to the right of WE in area that's showing the files....make sure you haven't clicked on any of the files or folders that are showing, and click Paste. Done!





When you're using the Brush Tool in PSE, go up to the Brush Selector in the Options Bar above the workspace and click to open it. Up at the top of the dropdown is a box showing the brush set that's displayed, click to open it and scroll down until you see the name of your new brush set and click on it to load it. If the thumbnails are too small to see well: over on the right side of the Brush Selector are two little arrows. Click on them and at the top of the dropdown that appears, you can choose a larger size thumbnail. I almost went blind until I discovered this;)





The neat thing about the brushes is that not only can you paint and make designs with them but you can choose special brushes when you're using the Eraser Tool, too, and use the brushes to remove color in a pattern.





Have fun! Oh, and don't forget to make a folder to store the zip files and extracted folders. Back this folder up every once and awhile and, if anything ever happens to your computer or if you ever have to uninstall/reinstall the program, you've still got them and don't have to go hunting for them.
