    Wow! This many! And for free, thanks! Screw Photoshop! :D

    • Raine 19 January 2010

      I agree! I love GIMP and these brushes! :D

  2. Simon from Otooo 26 October 2008

    Sweet, although I’m still a photoshop guy :)

  3. Danno 26 October 2008

    Impressive list as usual. I’ll spend hours just working the header image on my site and although I love the GIMP project — and think it’s a fantastic alternative to Photoshop — I personally found it quite unintuitive to use as a beginner. Maybe it’s because my brain space already well populated with the way Adobe does things.

    • Mariah|NC| 30 January 2010

      Why don’t you go back to using Photoshop then?

  4. FBrushes 26 October 2008

    I think GIMP will rock in the near future! :D

    • chollenbeck 14 January 2010

      what do you mean in the future? Gimp rocks now…..

  5. Freddywang 26 October 2008

    Wow, nice collection. Some are available in Photoshop as well. The nice thing of GIMP is that it reads Photoshop Brushes as well, but not the other way around ;-)

  6. Raul 26 October 2008

    And one hopes that even more GIMP brushes will be created so that this time next year there will be a thousand more. Yay for GIMP!

  15. Gimper 27 October 2008

    GIMP 2.4 and above fully support PS .abr brushes so there the days of GIMP specific are over.

  16. stelt 27 October 2008

    I see “vector”, but not “SVG” ?!
    What’s this other format?

  17. Ouipas 27 October 2008

    cheers !

  18. Mr. Little 27 October 2008

    Wow, nice list. This is definitely bookmark worthy, thanks.

  19. Mitternacht 27 October 2008

    Very useful resource, thank you very much. Gimp has some usability problems as compared to Photoshop, but can do a great job once you get used to it.
    Please note that Photoshop brushes (*.abr) work perfectly with Gimp, though. I use tons of them.
