  Hi JC – Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment. Unfortunately, Photoshop brushes will not work with Painter. Painter and Photoshop (unlike some Photoshop filters, which will work in Painter). The brush engines are just not compatible.

  Hi Renee– This is not currently a feature of the Brush Manager. It is for installing new brushes directly from ZIP files you’ve downloaded.

Since I have no Internet connection to the machine on which I use Painter X, I have to download updates, etc. to a computer that does and then transfer to the former via a flash drive.

I have downloaded Adobe AIR 1.5, but the Brush Manager AIR file only downloads as an icon, and, of course, does so in about minus a tenth of a second. I have tried the download on a second Internet-connected computer—three times—but with a similar result each time.

I would greatly appreciate your help with my problem.

  Hi Tricia– The Brush Manager installer itself is very small (413 kb), so it shouldn’t take long to download at all. If you haven’t installed Adobe AIR already on the non-internet connected computer, it will not recognize the Brush Manager AIR file as an AIR file. It will see it as either a file it doesn’t know how to open or a ZIP file. After AIR is installed, the Brush Manager should install with no problems.
