Ok, Saturday has come and Jessica has for Windows - ACDC ($49.), PresetViewer($25.) ABR Viewer (free), and ABR view(free). She uses ACDC as an addition to her regular organization but is considering adding ABR view to see exported .png files for a good preview.

For Macs, it's BrushPilot ($15.) which will automatically install any brush to Photoshop. I see no way, right now, to install them into PSE, but I'm thinking there must be some way to easily access them once they are organized elsewhere on one's computer. I really do like the entire set preview. Right now on my trial version it is pulling all my brushes from wherever they are lurking on my computer. (Aha! that's where some of them went..Photoshop!)

The only other one for a Mac is the free ABRView which I may try again..just to be sure. That WILL do a png page to print or keep for a main preview.

Finally, none of the Mac programs can tag/keyword, and only ACDC and PresetView (the for $$programs) will allow you to tag.

Right now I'm happy enough with the trial version of BrushPilot to probably buy it. (Trial only shows 5 previews of each set.) But I'm gonna load the free ABRView one more time to see if it's enough.

Hope this helps. Maureen
