I have just downloaded a package of brushes for photo shop and converted them for gimp use. The brushes work, the only problem is that I can not change there color like preset brushes. I don't know if this helps but these are the brushes that I used: http://www.bittbox.com/freebies/free-hi-res-splatter-photoshop-brushes
and I followed this method to convert and install them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrBaNis4Z20
Does anyone know what I can do. Any help would be appreciated.
GIMP reads abr files
GIMP has been able to read Adobe brushes for quite some time now. Why not try loading the abr brushes (without having been converted) and see if they work then.
