Use Photoshop .abr brushes in Limner

Limner imports Photoshop .abr brush files as new brush tips, so the brushes you already collected are not stuck in another app.

How importing works

From the brush picker, choose Import .abr and select a Photoshop brush file. Its shapes come in as new brush tips. From there you set size, dynamics, and behavior with Limner's own brush engine and curves, and save them into your library.

Build on top of them

Limner's brush engine adds pressure, tilt, and velocity dynamics, curves, and blend behavior, so an imported tip becomes a full Limner brush. You can also export your brushes back to .abr.

Part of a native Windows studio

Brush import sits inside a full painting app: layers and masks, inking correction, vector line art, animation, comics, and 4K timelapse, all on Windows.
