Can't say I can blame him for accepting Adobe's offer but making his brushes exclusive to Adobe CC, shutting down his gumroad and creative market pages (even taking it off Creative Market entirely making it impossible to download your purchase) without any headsup to his customers is a appalling move.

I was dumb enough to buy the mega pack for like $13 some years ago, I'm proper pissed because of the way he did this shit out of the blue, he hid everything on creativemarket.com/kyletwebster/collections and took down every single one of his youtube videos about the brushes.

Not because they're objectively superior to alternates though. For someone so dedicated to photoshop Kyle was awfully bad at using it, next to none of the texture files he uses in his Watercolor set tile and all have very obvious seams, it's a really amateur job.

>> No.3178389

>>3178336
Patterns are better for screentoning, not brushes. I'd recommend a more traditional approach where you use lasso and fill rather than use a brush if you're going to be screentoning. If you want a brush that can screentone anyway, you don't need a fancy brush, you can use any brush, just hit texture in brush settings and select the pattern you want from your pattern library. You just need to make or download some patterns first before you can abuse them.

ways i sees it you can now buy every single photoshop brush/tool he's ever made for $10, i don't really see the complaints besides him removing the download options for his legacy brushsets that people already paid for which is legit kinda shitty and the way he's acting so obtuse about it on twitter has kinda chipped at the goodwill i have for him. still happy for him, but he's gettin paid a solid salary by adobe now so pirating his brushsets is like pirating photoshop i guess. an if you care about people pirating photoshop you're a cop.

You can download all .abr files of these brushes from the official adobe webpage: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html?promoid=XKMMHH6G&mv=other

The only downside of being .abr (brushes files) and no .tpl (tool presets files) is that brushes files does not retains flow values of each brush (unlike tool presets that does), so there are some of Kyle's brushes that you have to manually adjust it's flow value in order to get the intended texture in some cases.

adobe noticed their product was shit, and they noticed a guy created an improvement for it, so they hired him to fix the product. instead of pissing around smugly trying to pretend his fixes weren't needed, changing the product so his fixes wouldn't work, or serving him a copyright notice.

this actually is a good thing. adobe is at least vaguely paying attention to its userbase and what the art industry wants out of its product.

i haven't gotten around to installing 2018 yet but it'd be crazy to remove the ability to back up brushes you may or may not have created yourself. also see >>3178911 they're just up there for free now i guess?? so you don't even need to subscribe for a month, jus grab the trial version. you'll need 2018 to get full use of the new releases of kyle's brushes as >>3179202 pointed out tho

googling UAP 2.0 (universal adobe patcher 2.0) should point you in the right direction. there was a thread somewhere else on the board recently that explained it p clearly but i can't seem to find it anymore so it mighta gotten taken down for being too explicit in helping you pirate. it's not up to date enough to have CC 2018 listed as a thing you can patch but if you scroll all the way to the bottom of it's drop down menu it has some generalized patches for 64 and 32 bit CC programs that should work from what i've been told. UAP 2.0 seems to be a lot harder for them to patch over because from what i understand it emulates the server authentication that adobe does to make sure your license is still being paid for, basically just lying to photoshop (or whatever program you have installed) so that it allows you to use the full version.
