DIMM and Utilities Ron's PSD Stuff

So I went on a spree with all of Ron's brushes and products being on sale. I have discovered its important to not rely on the DIM software to download your products. So many of the Ron's products don't show up there at all even though the product pages have a dim installer link. Not complaining just if your like me and buying a lot, you may over look some purchases if your not very (extremely) careful.

Now to go shop for some new storage space...because Ron's stuff is HUGE! Worth every penny though!

    Do you have Photoshop selected as an option in your DIM download filters? (Or maybe "General", I can't quite remember.) I've certainly downloaded all 70 of mine through DIM.

    Thank you, that made me go look, and sure enough the photoshop had been unchecked. Lets see what I find now=)

    Yes!

    Watch out for the size of your Photoshop installation if it's on a small system drive. I tend to install only the ones I'm going to use a lot into my PS installation.

    In fact I tell DIM to install all of them in a dummy Photoshop folder on a large drive, then manually copy my favourites into the PS folder and (from inside PS) load the others as and when I want to use them.

    ETA: I leave all the .psd and .png files (which are in some of Ron's products) on that large drive too, since PS doesn't care where they are located.

    You could just tell PS to use the location as a brush library, it should be in the brush pane's option menu if they haven't moved it. The same is true for most things PS can organise in panes with libraries of presets.

    Actually I was using the term "PS" as shorthand - I actually have Photoshop Elements not full Photoshop, and you do need to use "load brushes" in PSE.  Sorry to mislead.

    Your comment is no doubt useful to wscottart though.
