Photoshop Elements 2019

MatCreator

Was wondering how to set DIM to accept Photoshop Elements 2019. On my older system, version 7, I had no problems, but that was a different system, operating system, and photoshop.

I have purchased many of Rons brushes (and just to note, a MUST HAVE) and would like to use DIM to install them.

Any help would be immensley appreciated =)

I don't have Photoshop Elements anymore, but I do use Photoshop CS4.  For that, you download the brushes to any folder that you want, and then point to that folder from Photoshop.  I would imagine that it is the same process in Photoshop Elements.  Personally, I download Ron's brushes manually as a zip file and have a folder to keep them all in, then access that folder from Photoshop when I need to use them.

Ok, will try that, thanks. Still adjusting to the new operating system, just want a nice clean install so I dont mess things up, which happens often in my case, lol

I've just been able to load up Photoshop and take a closer look at the brushes.  My apologies - I was mixing up plugins (which can point to a folder) and brushes, which need to be installed in a specific directory.

For my installation of Photoshop, I copied the .abr files from Ron's Brushes to Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Presets\Brushes   I would imagine that it is much the same folder for Photoshop Elements.  I downloaded the brushes as zip files rather than using the Daz Install Manager.

I have Photoshop Elements 2018 - I actually use DIM to "install" all my Photoshop stuff (mostly Ron's brushes, but a few others from the store too) to a content library separate from my DS ones. This means DIM considers them installed and will notify of any updates, etc. I believe I had to create a fake file called Photoshop.exe (just an empty text file renamed to that)  in that content library to persuade DIM that I had Photoshop installed there.

Then I copy the brushes I expect to use many times to the Presets - Brushes library in the Photoshop Elements folder, but it's on my SSD drive so I don't put everything in there. You can load brushes from anywhere using the "load brushes..."  option in the brush menu in Elements, so that's what I do for the more esoteric sets that I only use occasionally. [ETA} These only stay loaded for the current invocation of PSE so don't take up unnecessary memory all the time.
