Win A Free License For Photoshop Brush Management App Brush Pilot!

It's hard to say what my favourite feature of Brush Pilot is, as it has a plethora of great features!

The fast preview and instant install are not only time savers, but life savers in my opinion. Finder integration is probably the coolest, as you can just double-click your brush to open it up with Brush Pilot.

Another great feature is the fact that it's not bloated. It weighs in at just 782kb zipped. This is a must for us designers that have gigabytes and gigabytes of resources on our computers. I need all the space I can get for source files, save the bloated 50MB apps for PCs! :D

Thanks!

The fast brush browsing, plain and simple. The installation is nice, but it's the same as double clicking.

It's an amazing program, I've lived without it and now I don't want to.

My favorite thing about it is that it can find all of the brushes on your computer in one click. That's pretty rad.

I love being able to have my brushes in folders. Much cleaner and smarter way to organize, when you have 100's of brushes.

This app simplifies pretty much the task of handling with brushes, One thing I specially liked is that detects all the Photoshop versions I have installed at once. Nice.

I've spent weeks organizing my brushes before only to have them get out of control again.
Thousands of brushes. had to classify them and write out categories in a notebook then write out each brush and assign them to the right category and remake the sets blaaaaaah. took forever. I could definitely use something like this. hook me up!

I have a binder with printed references of all of the brushes I have on my machine. It sounds very organized but I don't look at it because trying to find a specific brush takes too much time. This app is great for finding the perfect brush easily.

Brush category control without having to load all my brushes. Find the 1 brush I need, install and go!

Blazingly fast and seems to find those abr brush files wherever theyre hiding.

I was specting an app like these.

Great idea and great UI.

Simple and effective.

The fact that we can preview them is in itself fabulous. When you have a bunch of brushes being able to see and search for the one you are looking for is a time savor. The ability to install them directly is also great!

Hey, great tool, i love the fact that it finds all brushes on my computer for me, something i wish suitcase fusion would do. maybe it should be able to organize all of your brushes by moving them to the application's folder, that would help me clean up my hard drive by having all brushes in one place, regardless of how i put them onto my computer.

Realy GRRRREAT Tool! *love* my favorite is the upcoming network feature that let's my workgroup browse / install my brush-arsenal ! ;-)

I loved that as soon as I opened it all the brushes on my computer & external hard drive were listed. No having to point it were to look.

It is just what i wanted !.. having over hundreds of brushes it was really hard to manage them and see how each of them looked and then Brush pilot came to make my life easier :)

My favourite feature of Brush Pilot is... Brush Pilot! For once, there is an easy way to view all your brushes from all over your hard drive, without loading them in Photoshop!

The browsing, I spend so much stinking time guessing at my brushes.

The ease of viewing photoshop brushes in Brush Pilot has led to more inspiration. This is something I have hated living without.

the previews

Favourite feature has got to be the fact it makes browsing the huge library of brushes that I have an absolute breeze, without much work required on my behalf. Suits my workflow perfectly.

Instant brush viewing, such a time saver. love it.

Preview browsing, absolutely excellent tool.

Previews are great and keep them organised

Best features are the resizing control, automatic file find and the quick previews (leaves ABRView for dead on that last account)
Though would be even better if you could rename your generic brush files from within the app

I hav to agree about finding all of the brushes on the computer feature. Sometimes I download brushes and I can'rt remeber where... It's frustrating.

I'd love to have a copy.

very fast and easy. and its not slow like browsingg all your brushes the old way.

First of all, I would like to say great job to Jay Hilgert the creator of the program. It makes sense that a graphic designer came up with this idea (and impressive that a graphic designer wrote an application)! There are several things to like about Brush Pilot. The first is the ease of install. As with most OS X programs it's easy, but all Brush Pilot requires is a double click on the zip file and it's ready to go. You can leave the program on your desktop or wherever it's most convenient. The next great feature is how it will automagically find all of your brushes on your Mac, and it does it in very short order. I try to keep all of my resources organized, but try as I might that does not always happen. Enter the next great feature of the program, "reveal in finder". After installing the demo, the program found 15 brush sets (I really loved) that I thought I had lost from a previous hard drive crash. If I had to choose one feature as my favorite, it would probably be the most obvious... The ability to visually browse through all of your bushes in one place. Not only is it a great time saver, but being able to actually see what a brush set looks like (and zoom in on them) without having to load it into PS first will cut down on my frustration level when looking for that "perfect brush".

I can't say which feature i like the most because the whole app is just amazing.

i will win!

i test and this progg is great..

i like the function to find all brushes on the system.. ;D

I tried it! I loved it! It is exactly what I have been wishing someone would develop. I am so so happy to have this tool. Thank you for sharing!!

Great tool, this will make my day. what I´m I saying my month!.

I just love the fact that I can so easily browse my brush options. Flipping through the options not only helps me find the exact one I want, but also inspires me to use the others I had previously forgotten about.

Utterly. Fantastic. For anyone like me, who grabs brushes wherever found while browsing or viewing email, yet busy and lazy, an app that finally makes my brush downloads usable. Sure, some get installed right away, but many are either stored or simply left where they first hit my hard drive. I can now see them all. Better yet, instantly and without opening any folders, install them. And, for when I can get around to it, see where they are so I can keep them stored and arranged sensibly. All the power and reasons to be using a computer in the first place stacked on serendipity, making all those found brushes finally fully useful.

This seems to be useful to me after reading all the comments. Count me on this contest.

Finally I great way for me to see my Photoshop Brushes. I have hundreds of brushes and I've been looking for an easy way to browse em. Usually I make a JPEG and save them in a folder but this way more convenient. The installed brushes features is awesome because it sees both versions of Photoshop that I'm running. All I would need now is a version that does Illustrator brushes as well. Thank you so much for the heads up.

Great Application, it saves so much time.

Great application! The most useful feature in my opinion is the ability to preview brushes.
Would be nice to have something similar for Illustrator brushes (also for Windows)
I`m still searching for a font organizing tool, that doesn`t need folders to be pointed at...

My favorite feature is the fact that I can now see my brushes without having to import them into Photoshop first.

This is a fantastic app! Been waiting for something like this for a long time!

Using a 1 gz Mac g4. I was quite surprised how quickly it started. I went looking in the menus to find an option to scan for brushes not realizing it already did once it started! As someone who uses a lot of fine tuned distressing using custom made brushes this is indispensable in order to find the perfect brush for the job without having to load tons of brushes and going through the tiny previews in the photoshop..

definitely the fast browsing. i've got tons and tons of brushes and have been waiting for such a fast and slimline app to come along for years. it's like my prayers being answered. or something.

God bless you :D
I've been searching for a tools like this to rapidly see my collection of brushes and reorganize it

The fast speed for previewing my brushes is amazing and such a time saver. Wish other apps would take note of this.

Great App! Would love to use it on a regular basis!!!

This is a sweet little app. I know that I spend too much time looking through my brushes, and not finding what I want right away. Thanks for posting this little gem up. It's quick and I like the UI.

Thanks GoMedia for posting this bad boy up, and thanks to the developers for putting this one together.

Cheers,
Burleson

Cool Ap I would use it a lot.

Great App...all features are just amazing.

the fast preview and the mostly the organization .... of brushes.... in the app

I love it's speed, I've always wanted a way to organize all my brushes, this thing is awesome, if only you could delete one brush from a set.

no need to open photoshop to just test/preview a brush.
