    So I have cs3 installed and I have a good amount of brush I have acquired, only thing they don't load up when I start photoshop unless I open the photoshop folder go to brushes and manually click on every set and then restart photoshop. Any suggestions?

    I believe you can permanently load them up by double clicking the brush file that you downloaded. All the brushes I installed have stayed, so I'm not sure. Are you using it in Mac OS?

    Yep I don't even have boot camp set up and I did double click them but when I turn off my mpb they aren't there and I do double click them I've had to do it numerous times and it's a hassle when I do graphic work which is quite often and it's just an annoyance.

    For me, what I had to do was drag all the brushes into the Adobe Photoshop CS3>Presets>Brushes folder, then with photoshop open, you have to double click each one.

    Only the brushes that i've double clicked will stay, the rest will only go into photoshop once youve double clicked onthem. I have 261 brushes, so I was just too lazy to double click on them all.

    See I have the brushes in that folder, and it only work when I open said folder and double click them with photoshop open. I'm trying to figure out why they won't stay loaded after 1. exit photoshop, and 2. shut down my laptop.

    With photoshop closed, drag all your brush files to Adobe Photoshop CS3>Presets>Brushes

    Open CS3 and they'll be there. If you want to add more, repeat the same step.
