Converting old Photoshop brushes into new ones. [SOLVED!]

Sevrin

So I've not had a problem using Ps ABR brushes in Affinity Photo until now.  Like Ron Deviney's brushes work fine as do others.  It works fine with newer brushes, but not so much with older ones.   I know there's a way to open ABR files in a new version of Ps, and then save them as a new ABR, but I don't have Ps installed.

Is there another way, or do I need to find some kind soul with access to a newer Ps to do it for me?

You can use something like ABRmate to open them in png and convert them to brushes that way.

Remeber if someone was to do it for you they would need to own the brushes themselves.

I'll look up ABRmate.   Thanks for the pointer.  The brushes are free ones from Brusheezy, so owning the brushes wouldn't cause an issue.

Edit: Animate worked a treat.  I got a malware warning  from downloading from the top Google result, but the one from Software Informer had no issues and opened my ABR and allowed me to export the PNGs, after checking out this Youtube video by Drew Spence.
