Tutorial: How to Use abrViewer

abrViewer is used to view abr brush files - and even export PNG files of them.  The program is found here.

To Use abrViewer:

1. Open the program and select a directory (there is a button that says select folder) that contains some abr brushes -- it brings up a list of the brushes in that directory.
   
   
2. Click on one of the brushes, then right click and you'll get a little menu to "show" or "show all" and it shows thumbnails of the brushes. Double-clicking on one of those will bring up an original sized brush - click on that for a chance to try the brush out. (There are viewing options for size of the thumbnail & background color.)
   
   
3. Click on Export > thumbnails and it will create a PNG file for each brush tip you have open - and ask you which folder you'd like to save it in. You can also do this by right-clicking on the name of the brush under previewed sets. (I did notice that it opened the folder as well - I'm not certain why. I just closed the folder.)
   
   
4. If you click on Export > Preview panel, it will create a PNG file showing the panel of all the brush tips in that file. To clear the previewed sets, right click for a menu inside the "previewed sets" pane.
