I loaded the grass but then when i loaded another brush the grass wasn't an option anymore. it was like it was overwritten. Do i have to load the downloaded brush again every time i want to use it???

@ChocoChanDaysu - When you load your brushes, a window will pop up and say "Replace current brushes with the brushes from....?" Then you can either hit "OK", "Cancel" or "Append". If you hit OK, then the current brushes you have loaded will dissapear and the new brushes you're loading will take their place. If you hit "Append", then the old brushes will stay there and the new brushes you're loading will also be included. Hope that helps.

@scrappingguy

Thank you for your reply. When I load the brush a window doesn't pop up asking if I want to cancel or append. The brush just goes there.

Sorry. When I told you about the pop-up window, that was in regular Photoshop and I thought Photoshop Elements did the same thing. In Elements after you hit the little double arrows and "load" your new brush, it replaces all the others. But then you'll see at the top of the brush screen a label that says "Brushes" with a dropdown selection next to it. Click that drop down menu to select the brushe you want to use. It still replaces current brushes though but you don't have to re-load them.

While trying to figure out how to mirror a brush image, I stumbled onto this video. I followed along making my own picture. Totally don't understand Photoshop, but trying to learn. Really great tutorial...will have to check out your website. Thanks!!
