GIMP SUPPORTS .abr photoshop brush files which must be of version 5.5 or 6 not higher, v 7 or 8 will not work.

what you have to do is put the .abr or paintshop .jbr files in the gimp brushes directory, usually:

<gimp_program_direcory>/share/gimp/2.0/brushes

and reload the gimp.

[line]

Secondly, if you want to convert other type of brushes to gimp default type brush .gbr files, then I found a tool that allows to convert photoshop brush files .abr to gimp brush files .gbr.

I have tested this tool myself and found 100% results.

[*] source for other platforms

I didn't know that. That's a very good thing to know. I'll have to try it out.

I'm glad you posted about this forum on gug forums.

If im not wrong. Extract all its contents to C:\Documents and Settings\User. Then go Start->Run
Type in CMD and type in the format of:

C:\Documents and Settings\User>abr2gbr THEBRUSHNAMEHERE.abr

guys, if you want a batch file to mass convert
save this in a .bat file and execute in same folder that contains abr files and utilility including dlls.

for %%f IN (*.abr) DO abr2gbr.exe %%f

Was done at the times of Gimp 1.0 ...in more recent times Kward1979uk wrote a couple of scripts to bach convert PS brush
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Gimp-Resources-From-Kward1979uk-1808-1.html

BTW Fencepost and droz converted tons of PS brush http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Fencepost-And-Dro-928-Gimp-Brush-Resources-1139-1.html

yes,it works.
and it has nothing with Gimp version to do.
You can simply run it without even having Gimp (it converts/translates the formats of files from abr to gbr )
