How do I use a font I downloaded from a cd in photoshop?

It is not where you would guess at first.

you have to go into the windows control panel, then look for fonts. you then install / import that new font into windows and it will be avalible to all your programs including photoshop

Give it a whirl and let us know if you got it to work right.

2. Right-Click CD-ROM labelled "LISAS FAVORITE FONTS"
3. Go To "Open"
4. Double Click the "Windows_Fonts" Folder
5. In the toolbar go to "Edit"
6. Choose "Select All"
7. In the toolbar go to "Edit" again
8. Select "Copy"
9. Open "My Computer"
10. Double Click "C:"
11. Double Click "Windows"
12. Click the "Show Files" Button
13. Double Click the "Fonts" folder
14. In the toolbar go to "Edit"
15. Select "Paste"

Sure you did! Thx! You gave me the right direction! :o)

Also do you know how I do the same to add more downloaded brushes in Photoshop?

[Alyson]

To get more brushes in Photoshop, you actually have to load them through photoshop. I have CS2, and it might be different depending on your version of photoshop, but here's how I do it.

1. Click on the brush tool in the tool box.
2. In the options bar, click on the icon to chose which brush you want...this gives you a drop down menu with all the brushes already loaded.
3. There's a small triangle at the top right corner of this drop down menu. Click this triangle and select load brushes.
4. Locate the brush file you want to load and open.

This should put the new loaded brushes in the drop down menu so you can select them. I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more directions.

Thx! I gotta try that too.. I have Elements 5.0 will let you know how it works out when I try to do it!

:o)

Thanks,
