Problem loading fay sirkis brushes

[thevision]

Hello - I have corel painter x. I have loaded Jeremy Sutton brushes
with no problem.

I have Fay Sirkis DVDs - celebration of art - when I try to load portrait
brushes, they do not show up in painter. I have checked properties and
unchecked read only, but it does not seem to take.

When I load the animal brushes, it will load, but it makes all the brushes
read only and painter will not even open. I unchecked read only, but
will not take.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try using Studio Chris Brush Manager to load your brushes if you are not already doing so.

I do have Chris's studio, I have put brushes in my documents and on
my desktop. The brushes are on a dvd, don't know if that matters,
but I can't get the brushes into Chris's program...i.e drag, drop or
copy paste.?

The brushes need to be in a zipped file before you drag & drop the file into Studio Chris Brush Manager.
Do you get a message stating that the brushes have been successfully installed or that the brushes are already installed?
Also check the Studio Chris preferences to ensure that the brush set is being loaded to the correct folder.

I too had problems loading 3rd party brushes and finally had to go into the program files and insert them manually into the proper folders there, reboot, and restart the program. Make sure you have administrative access. And voila, new brushes. Just make sure to save a set somewhere else so that when the computer or the program glitches, you can get them back.
