Brush Organization

[waroftherobots]

Okay.. I hope this doesn't seem like a stupid question but, I have photoshop CS and I have been downloading brushes.. and when I go to use them I have to look through them very carefully to find what I need... This started to get really annoying and since the brush aren't lable such as bloob or dust and scratches. Any ideas?


Thanks!

Well, there's no law against renaming them, if you want to.
You could, also, put each one (or each type, i.e. hair, grunge, etc.) into a seperate folder named something that'll help you remember.
You could open up Notepad and list all of your brushes, along with where you got them (if applicable) and divide them into catagories, there.
Sure, that's all easier said than done, but nobody said it had to be easy.
Also, you don't, necessarily, have to keep them in Photoshop's Brushes folder. You can make a seperate folder to keep them in and just load them from there. That could help in keeping them organised and cut down a little on load times (by having less resources for Photoshop to load, initially).

There is a previous thread link listed below that you should check. Also, smile forgiven has an extremely large brush library, ask how they are categorized and filed, etc. Everyone does it a little different.
