I understand it's possible from what I've seen around, but I haven't figured out how to do it. >.> I've gone to the 'preset' brushes tab in the brush editor and selected the .abr brush I wanted from the 'import resources' button, but after I selected the brush and pressed ok nothing happened. I'm unable to find the brush that I wanted imported in my brushes, even after restarting Krita.

So what am I doing wrong, and how can I do it right? I really want to try this brush out.

Thanks in advance for your help, I've been using Krita for a few weeks now and I really appreciate the obvious work that went into making it a great painting program.

Can you check if the brush is in the brushes folder. You can do that via Edit->Open Resource folder and then check brushes.

Sometimes there are also multiple brushes inside one abr, might be that the brush is called differently in the brush chooser.

Yeah it's not in there. I'll go ahead and use the file system to drop it in though instead of using the program interface. See if that works. ^^

I take that back it IS in there, so how do I make it show up in the krita brush list?

It should show up automatically.

If the .abr file is available publically I could check if the file doesn't load or so.

Certainly, it's this fur brush right here: http://fav.me/d6g78rf
Appreciate the help.

*edit: I tried downloading a different brush and that did show up in the presets, so I'm leaning towards it's this brush itself that's faulty. I really love the fur it paints too, I was so excited about finding it.

**second edit! : I tried some other ps brushes and...they don't really work like they should. I'm just gonna leave ps brushes alone I think. If I really need to use something for painting I'll go to GIMP. Thanks for your help though!

The Photoshop brushes don't map completely onto Krita brushes. It's more or less just the tip that carries over. The current support goes up to CS 2 I think and the brush appears to use some CS 4 features.
