Use Photoshop Brushes in Krita – Step by Step
There are various websites that provide Photoshop brushes. However, I will use Brusheezy in this case. You can also use premium brushes to create top-notch designs. We will share how to download a Photoshop brush as well. So, let’s find out how to download, import, and use brushes in Krita:
Step 1: First, go to the Brusheezy website and choose a Photoshop brush as per requirement. You can use the search bar in this case.
Step 2: After finding the right one, you have to download the file. For example, I have chosen the ‘Falling Leaves’ one. Click on the ‘Free Download’ button to download the file.
Step 3: The file will be downloaded in a zip file format. However, Krita can’t get access directly. To make the task easier, you have to copy-paste the brush file into the ‘Program files’.
To do this, first, open the downloaded zip file and double-click on the unzip file. You will see an ABR file there. Copy the file.
Step 4: To paste the file, go to the ‘Windows (C:)’ option. Now, open ‘Program files’ and go to the ‘Krita (x64)’ option. Next, you have to open ‘share’ and ‘Krita’. You will find the ‘brushes’ file there. Open it and paste the copied file there.
Step 5: Now, open the Krita app to start your design. To get access to the imported Photoshop brushes, you have to open a new file. So, click on the ‘New File’ option and open the file.
Step 6: When a new canvas is open, go to the ‘Edit brush settings’ option to import your downloaded Photoshop brush. You can find the option at the top second of the top bar.
Step 7: Next, go to the ‘Predefined’ button and click on it. Scroll down to find the brush. If you can’t find it, go to the ‘Import’ option below. Here, you have to import the brush file from your device.
Step 8: After importing the file, scroll through the design menu and you will see new brushes. Make sure you choose one as per your preference. Plus, you can adjust the size and spacing as per requirement.
Step 9: Now, you have saved the brush. You can use it on the canvas. There are other options you can use as well.
Step 10: When you are satisfied with the brush, you can save it as a preset. To do this, go to the ‘Choose brush preset’ option and click on it. Now, click on the ‘Save New Brush Preset’ option and choose a file name. Lastly, click on the ‘Save’ button.
Now, your import process is done. After saving the preset brush, you can use it for future designs. Well, I didn’t use all the options in this guide. However, make sure you try them to create something magical.
