Hmmm, Where to Load all this Stuff?

[DanStar]

So I just bought some libraries of frames, brushes, photos, layer templates, etc from Graphic Authority. Where do you recommend I load all this? Is the best practice to use them from the CD, load them in the CS3 presets, or set up separate resource files outside of the Adobe files and put all the stuff in there?

Thanks!

I think it's a matter of preference and what works best for you.

As for me, other than three filters and four actions I do not have any brushes, patterns, shapes, styles...etc preloaded. I keep everything in folders and drag n drop them into photoshop only when I need them. Not having all that stuff preloaded helps keep the photoshop start time very low.

I also have all my actions, brushes, shapes, gradients in separate folders and use them as needed. I only wish I had a way to view my brushes outside of Photoshop. There is a viewer for Windows, but nothing for the Mac.

Hey Shawn.

I currently use ABRviewer. Which brush viewer do you use?

I don't use one, that's my problem....I have a MacBook Pro and the ABRviewer is only for Windows.
