    I'm having an issue with Photoshop 7. I keep loading new brushes that I've downloaded, but it won't keep them loaded. I've already had to reload all of them once and noticed yesterday, they weren't loaded again, so now I'm gonna have to reload them all a second time. Does anyone know why this would happen? How can I keep them permanently loaded?

    Lol. We should start a brushes-not-loading party. I just downloaded a free trial of CS4 after my school-only subscription (I think it was CS3, or maybe 2) stopped working after I left campus for the summer. I tried clicking brushes I have downloaded and they won't do anything.

    GNRFan and happyharper, did you place the downloaded files in the brushes folder?

    If not, just find the photoshop folder which contains all the program files, find a folder named "present" and in that folder there are even more folders of which one is named "Brushes". Just open it and place the brushes you've downloaded in it. The next time you open photoshop they should be there. That's how I do it.

    Ok I'm very slow and I need someone who's perfectly clear :D

    I just mad an header for my LJ, but IDK how to put it and it seems that I can't find any useful tutorial on the web. I found lots of them which mentioned that it all depends on the layout of your LJ page and it seems that mine is ok, but I can't understand where the header option is and what kind of code I have to put in it :confused:

    Thanks in advance :D

    That's something that I know :lol:

    Ok, go to Customize journal Style [journal»customize journal style] » Custom CSS; in the Custom stylesheet paste the code for the header code :)

    Let me know if you need caps of my screen :p

    You need to go to the Custom CSS and scroll down to #header.
    Then you only need to add the following to that paragraph:

    background-image: url("*insert the URL to your ulpoaded header here");


    This should work :)

    ETA: I'm always so slooooow! :p

    okay...hmmm. With loading do you mean switching between the different packs or that they aren't among the brushes at all?
