Do I need the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended to use the brushes I download?

Question

I only have the trial version. I tried loading the brush I downloaded, but it didn't show up. Do I need the the full version on Photoshop to use it? Or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Be sure you are placing the brushes in

C: Adobe/ Photoshop CS3/ Presets/ Brushes

You may need the full version though. I've never tried it with a trial.

Answer 2

The trial should have full capabilities for the full 30 days.  After that you will need to buy it in order to open it again.  It doesn't so much matter where you save the brushes.  To access them, click on the brush in the toolbar, then click on the drop down arrow next to the picture of the brush you are using, then click on the small arrow in the upper right hand corner and select "load brushes" then simply find them where ever they may be in your hard drive.
