Photoshop Brushes

Photoshop brushes are a great way to create amazing looking backgrounds and can also be used for various types of effects.

In this post I have collected the best grunge, abstract, tech and vector brushes.

How to install brushes

Photoshop brushes are .abr files and they need to be installed in a special folder to work.

The location of this folder depends on your photoshop version, but should look like this:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Your photoshop version\Presets\Brushes

Note that you might need to restart photoshop before you can use your new brushes.
Once done you should see your newly installed brushes in the brush tool.
