Hello,

Does anyone know if the .ABR brush file specification is published by Adobe? I found this Photoshop 6.0 guide, but I don’t know if it is still relevant:

If I sign up for the Photoshop CS2 SDK, will I have access to the file specification? Would I be able to create my own utility by using the spec?

Thanks.

As you noticed, the v6 document is only partial information on ABR. The CS2 SDK actually has *less* documentation (the "basic" SDK removes all file format information, and what parts of the "advanced" SDK I saw did not add anything).

Thanks.
