In order to load brushes, you will have to have downloaded brushes off of a resource site. The brush file must be .abr. If it's .zip, you will have to unzip/extract the file. Once you're done extracting, open Photoshop.
Now select the brush tool. Make sure it's the
Brush Tool you have, not the History Brush Tool or the Pencil too.
Now go to the option bar and you'll see "Brush:" and a dropdown list. Click the dropdown arrow. Then click the arrow at the corner and go to "Preset Manager". (
Note: You can choose "Load Brushes..", but if you want to load more than one set, I recommend selecting the Preset Manager.)
A window should pop up. Now click "Load". Find your .abr brush file and then click "Load".
You're done! Now you scroll down the brush list and find the brushes you just loaded.
You can use them now by selecting which brush you want to use and "stamping" them onto your canvas =)
