    • Thanks for downloading it Doug. It should be better than ever!

  3. Thanks so much Chris — I like how you’ve imbedded links to both your blog and to your new PainterLab.com. Cool programming! I also like the new look of this installer. I have used your installer with ease and with gratitude since you first designed it.. Thank you once more…

    Barb

    Thank you Chris! I’m new at this, just got Painter X and am having a blast with it. Your program looks handy.

    • Thanks for giving it a try, Tess. Painter is tons of fun to work with and very flexible – hope you enjoy it!

  5. JC

    Oh…you’re program’s amazing..
    I have a question though.
    Will Adobe Photoshop Brushes work on Corel Painter? I’m new at these kinds of softwares..so a little help would be very wonderful. Thanks!!

    • 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.

  6. Thanks! I’m very new to Painter X, but am sure this will be very helpful for me.

    • Welcome to Painter, Tana!

  7. Patricia Monson

    • Hope you enjoy it, Patricia. Stop back by and let me know.

  8. Audrey Hamilton

    Thanks for the update Chris. I enjoy using the installer.

    • So glad to hear, Audrey.

  9. Hi Chris,

    Awesome tool for installing brushes, but will there be a version for Painter 11?

    cheers
    Maureen

    • Hi Maureen – The latest version is completely compatible with Painter 11.

  10. I have installed the new painter 11 version (upgrade)
    I want to transfer the brushes from X to 11.
    I have installed your brush manager, but still have problems
    transferring all of the brushes.
    I’ve tried dragging the folder of brushes over and
    nothing is showing up.
    can you be of help please?

    thank you

    • 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.

  11. Tricia

    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.
