Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.

When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn’t work.

I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.

Can anyone help me?

Did you load them through the drop-down menu?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? Your post was ambiguous  you said you’re using CS2, but you put the brushes in a CS3 directory. I assume one or the other was a typo. If you are using CS2, you would put the brushes in a CS2 directory, etc. In any event, brushes are forward compatible, but not backward. In CS2 or CS3 you can use brushes made in an earlier version, but not vice versa. I don’t think brushes created in CS3 will work with CS2, which might be the problem.

Im using CS2. My apologies for the directory typo. It should have read "program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS2/presets/brushes"
