By default PSP 5 saves brush files in a group file called JascBrush.jbr

The path is usually c:\Paint Shop Pro 5\brushes\JascBrush.jbr

If you'd like to create an individual brush file (.adr) or a group brush file (.jbr) of a different name you can change the default location in PSP5 to something like c:\temp

Now when you save the first brush file it will save it as c:\temp\JascBrush.jbr You may then rename it to name.adr (individual brush file) or add more new ones to it and then rename it to name.jbr (group brush file)

Then just move the newly renamed file from c:\temp\name to c:\Paint Shop Pro 5\ brushes\name and then change the default path back

To change the brush path click the browse button


To create the brush click the create button


By the way, after a while if your brush folder is getting so packed full of new brushes that it takes all of Saturday and part of Sunday to open it, you can create sub-folders under it for each group brush file and change to that one when you need it.
