Question re PSE

[private]

Is there a way to transfer all my brushes etc to a new computer? Or do I have to download all over again?

I'm not using elements but from my expirience with computer programs in general - there should be. Manual way would include finding folder where they are stored and making backup, so you can later import those brushes on new computer. I'm pretty sure there is some export function inside PSE to do this. Only reason I could think of for not including this could be that Adobe is keeping that function for PS, but again you could do it manualy...

You could put the folder they are in on a USB stick and then place them into the proper folder on the new pc.

I have a back up HD - can I just "plug" that into the new computer and it would just "do it"?

[lputman]

You'll have to put it on the drive. If it isn't there already, put a copy on it and you'll be good.

off topic a tad, hope you dont mind, i have pse2, am i missing the whole "own brushes thing" cuz there are a bunch of brushes on there, but I have no idea how to create my own (or why youd need to????) am I missing something????

you are not missing anything... I use my brushes to help me make different backgrounds. I do not use them THAT often...

Your brushes are in .abr files somewhere (wherever you saved them). Just copy them onto a f;ash drive of some sort, and then paste them into a folder on the new computer. Then just import them once youre in PS.

as above Pat, just find the file and copy/paste.

learning the hard lessons.. after a hard drive failure a few months back,
i now back-up all my brushes & fonts onto my external hard drive so i dont have to download them all again if something turns to custard.

I am "trying" all of this now - hope it works - we shall see....hard to believe I used to sell software many moons ago...
