How to Download Brushes to Paint Shop Pro

Corel's PaintShop Pro is a graphics editing suite for Microsoft Windows operating systems that is comparable to Adobe's Photoshop. PaintShop Pro allows users to edit and tweak essentially all types of pictures and digital images, and the program is customizable through downloadable plug-ins that increase its usability options. One of the most useful features of PaintShop Pro is its ability to import an unlimited number of "brushes," which are virtual, textured paint brushes that can be used to create effects on digital images. It's easy to download and import brushes.
