Old Photoshop brushes

Post by DreamCatcherWolf »

Okay I never updated my photoshop. I am simply unwilling to pay a subscription cost. I am still on like cs4.

But that said I would like to add a few brush packs for textures like sand, rocks, leaves, bark, and water.

I could search the web finding on file at a time... but I am sure there are decent brush packs. Must be for commercial use. Preferably free.

possibly heresy but ... Krita is free, it does come with lots of brushes, there are many free brush expansion packs and it will export .psd. I'm not a heavy Krita user, but I have used it ( https://youtu.be/ngaGlulB-0M ) and it is on my migration route away from all things Adobe as even the Elements option has gone "subscription by the back door" (i.e. 3 year licence!)

Yes, Krita is free, but I am not really ready to learn something new yet but I have looked at it. It seems I would have to download those brushes too if I did so I rather just stick with Photoshop. One new person on the team does use Krita as a primary.

It's getting harder and harder for me to want to use anything new adobe. I was really interested in Creation Effects Beast Bundle last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7xf932 ... i_&index=1. But after looking at subscription costs for the updated version I decided to skip. Its a great package but it is also a high price for a walk cycle when its monthly.

I did download some foliage packs with my extra credits/subscription from a few stock sites awhile back and saw some from public domain images of similar. But I never thought of just updating my brush pack. I never realized how useful brushes were until Moho.

The mushroom animation is absolutely beautiful along with the ocean videos, I was studying the ocean ones earlier this week.

wow! the ocean ones... 13 years ago in AS8!!! all vectors BTW ... yep - even back then, things could be done with brushes and blend modes -- just took longer than with the stuff we now have in 14.
