How to use the resources for Photoshop

Something I’ve been asked much during this time is how to use the resources posted on the blog, either Brushes (Brushes), patterns or styles, the question is always how to apply.
Perhaps many see this tutorial as obvious, but a lot of readers are just beginning to use PhotoShop and still do not know how to do it, so I believe this tutorial useful.
Basically everyone has a very similar form to be loaded in PhotoShop, but to erase any doubts, let’s see action for action.
The first thing I advise always be ordered. Create a folder in My Documents or wherever you like most so-called “PhotoShop” and within that, folders with different resources, “Styles”, “Brushes,” “Patterns” and “Shapes”. These are the categories that I consider essential and basic. Then we can include folders such as “PSD,” “Vector” and all that is included in design elements.
Once all the items ordered, we can see how to handle them within the program. There are several ways:
GENERAL
This allows us to view and upload multiple items (brushes, shapes, etc) from the same window.

For this, we go to Edit> Default Settings Manager and the following window.

As we see, the top combo-box shows all types of adjustment and by selecting one of them will show its current content.
To download an item, we will select only that type of resource is (brushes, styles, etc.) and show the contents, go to “load” button to select the directory created previously. In this way charge any of the elements.
Having done that, we appear in the preview and ready to use. Well, this is one way. Let’s see another way to implement and incorporate new elements individually.
As we all know, each of these elements has its panel or tool to implement.
BRUSHES
Select the tool “Brush” and the top will appear the properties of this tool.

I think this instance is known to all. To select a specific Brush, we went to the window that opens when you click on the arrow marked with a red square. There we will see the following:

Since that little arrow in the upper right corner we can open a context menu where, among various options, find the “Load brushes …” Clicking there will open a window to examine our record so we can select the brush you need to use . This is shown at the bottom of the Brush Preset.
We already have our brush ready to use!
STYLES
For style is the same procedure as we saw earlier but from the panel “Styles” found on the right sector with the rest of the panels. If you do not visualize, we can open it from the top main menu, Window> Styles.
To apply the desired style, one must select the layer with the font, shape or element to apply the style and click on the chosen style.
FORMS
Custom forms can be found in the toolbar, holding the cursor over the tool “Rectangle”.

As we see, at the end is the item we seek. Selecting this tool will appear in the top panel properties, which handles the same way that the brushes. In this way we can load the way we want.
