Abstract spiral brushes - artistic designs

Spiral brushes for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements include many different spiral designs.

 

The spirals are sometimes abstract, some of the spirals are basic -- but all the spirals are hi-quality spiral designs created by this site for use in many 1000s of different projects.

 

The spiral brushes can be combined in many ways, either in compositions or they can be combined to create even more unique brush strokes for all kinds of applications

 

How do I open / load / install the spiral brushes in Photoshop

Depends on the application. If you are using Photoshop you can access the spiral brushes via the "edit menu" and "preset manager" as well as via the brushes palette (which appears when you select one of the brushes tools).

 

spiral preset manager

 

The brushes are all stored in standard ABR format. Once added to the brushes palette the spirals can be used throughout Photoshop.

 

If you want to use the spiral brushes in other software then you will need to check the documentation / tutorials associated with those software

 

PSP spiral brushes

To load the spiral brushes in Paint Shop Pro you need to select the brushes tools and display the brushes palette and then select the design and save the brush to the brushes palette.

 

EPS spiral brushes

Many of the spiral brushes sets also include the designs in EPS format and you can open the EPS spiral brushes files in software such as Illustrator and then drag the spiral design to the Illustrator brushes palette and save the spiral as a brush. In Illustrator the spiral brush can then be tinted, scattered, rotated and much more to create stunning brush strokes.

 

The spiral brushes can then also be further modified by the width tool or the new width profiles in the latest version of Illustrator

 

How to open the spiral brushes in Photoshop Elements

In the same way as Photoshop, either via the brushes palette or the preset manager. For some reason, I have always found the file open command that works fine for custom shapes etc, does not work well with brushes so it cannot be recommended. You might find it works and loads the brushes but I have found the file open ABR command seems to only access one or two of the brushes in the brushes file.

 

PNG spiral brushes in Photoshop and Elements

Another option for the brushes would be to open them in Photoshop Elements (version 10, 9, 8 etc all the way to version 2) via the PNG file open command and then define them as a brush via the edit command. You can also use the PNG files as a layer in Photoshop Elements and apply effects etc, or combine the designs into compositions. Many of the sets also contain EPS files so you can use those to create huge brush strokes in Elements. You cannot, however, save the brushes as a new ABR file in elements.
