Brushes...

[Grawr]

Alright...well, I barely even know what "brushes" are, let alone where to find/download/get them on to gimp...

Can anyone tell me (in an easy-to-understand-way) how I can find some "brushes" and transfer them to gimp?

Much appreciated...




EDIT: This is what I know (or have tried to do) so far;

I find a good GIMP brush on deviantart, and click 'download'. Then I find my Local Disk C drive thing, and open the "program files", then open "Gimp 2.0"...but...supposedly I'm supposed to be finding some sort of "brushes" file in there...I don't see one.... >_<

Did you put them in the right folder and extract them from the zipped folder?

And you have to restart gimp if you have it open while getting the brushes (close and open it)

C/program files/gimp 2.0/share/gimp/2.0/brushes.

That's it.

yeah I would say it sounds like you put them in while in gimp, you just need to restart it if that is the case... otherwise

An Update on what I just tried to do that didnt work out;

I saved the brushes to my desktop.
I extracted the zipped folder.
I tried to drag it to the gimp box thing, but that didn't work...

Okay, when WinZip or whatever you use opened, did it list the contents? If so, highlight them all and click on Extract. Extract to C:/Program Files/GIMP 2.0/share/gimp/2.0/brushes. Close out WinZip, and the Gimp, and then reopen the gimp. The brushes should appear when you open the Brushes Dialogue.
