How to install new brushes for Gimp.

Gimp does come with some default brush, however, they do not satisfy the needs of all designers. Plus instead of creating designs from scratch, it is better to use pre-made brushes. Point to note, Photoshop's brushes are compatible with Gimp, so for example, if you are looking for some brushes for gimp and you cannot find them, Google for photoshop brushes.


Once you have downloaded the brushes, you need to install them. If you are using Gimp on Windows, copy the .abr files to C:/Users/[username]/.gimp-2.X/brushes. And if you are using Linux, its /home/[username]/.gimp-2.x. Note than brushes must not be installed while gimp is running. It can mess with your work. So its better you save your work before proceeding.

Some common brushes: Lightning, Snowflakes,


More will be added later on.
