Just a simple little tutorial of how to install new brushes or brush sets :)

EDIT: Updated with this little tid-bit from ~BlazingsNL-

"You can also put them in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Brushes\ and Photoshop will load them automatically for you"

:D

Some brushes to require pen pressure to function as intended. Pen pressure isn't a program its is a capability that some graphics tablets [link] have that senses how hard you are pressing on the pad and adjusts the size and opacity of the brush in photoshop accordingly.

Example: [link]

Hope that helps :)

No problem :)
Yes if you get a pen and tablet with pressure sensitivity you'll be able to use more functions of many brushes as well as adding it to brushes that dont already use it for some cool effects.
I'd recommend the Wacom Bamboo Fun for a first tablet. Its the cheapest of their range but is very good for a starter.

(I have the bamboo fun which has served me well for over a year now but I think they've made the basic bamboo better so not sure which is the best of the two)

You mean this one [link] ?
If so they yes it should have pressure sensitivity

Just to be 100% sure do the following steps:

:bulletblue: Open a blank document in Photoshop, press 'b' (to activate your brush) and press f5. This should open this window - [link]
:bulletblue: Select a basic round brush.
:bulletblue: Make sure the highlighted options are checked (Shape Dynamics and Other dynamics)
:bulletblue: Now hold down 'shift' on the keyboard (to make the line straight) and run your pen across the tablet, pressing firmly at first then reduce the pressure.

The line you produce should look a little like the bottom of these two - [link]
If it looks like the top line then there may be a problem with the software so make sure all your drivers are up to date (at the wacom website), reload photoshop and try again. If it still looks like the top line then either the tablet doesn't have pressure sensitivity or there may be a fault with the tablet.
