Brush Pilot Giveaway and Review
written by Nikola LazarevicBrush Pilot is amazing piece of Mac OS X software, from Jay Hilgert over at Bittbox, for previewing Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements Brushes (.abr files). Brush Pilot allows you to instantly preview your brushes without having to load them into Photoshop. It’s built exclusively for Mac OS X.
Features
Instantly finds all of your brushes
Brush Pilot automatically finds every brush file on your system. Brush Pilot also knows what version/s of Photoshop you have, and it separates your installed brushes from the rest.
Blazing fast previews
Brush Pilot allows you to preview brushes without having to load them into Photoshop. You can view names and pixel dimensions of each brush. The previewer also allows you to quickly and easily adjust the size of the previews using a slider bar beneath it, with five different size options to choose from.
Install brushes with one click
With a single right click, you can send files to the Trash, reveal their location in Finder, install selected brushes into all versions of Photoshop on your system.
System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher. Brush Pilot is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

January 5, 2010I would love to win Brush Pilot so I have an easier way to manage and preview my Photoshop brushes. I’m so glad there are clever developers who can come up with great apps like this that help me be more productive and use the many brushes I’ve downloaded and have in my arsenal. It just gets a bit overwhelming to remember what’s in the arsenal. Brush Pilot to the rescue!

January 5, 2010I’d love to win Brush Pilot!
As a graphic/web designer, I have tons and tons of brushes on my Macs and virtually no way to know which is which. It often comes down to selecting them manually in PS to find out which one I want.
Brush Pilot would save me hours (no kidding) and make the use of brushes in PS even more delightful.

January 5, 2010I currently use the demo version of this incredible app and would love to be able to unlock it. Christmas was tough this year just loosing my full-time position and now that I’m back in the full swing of freelancing I would absolutely use Brush Pilot to preview and organize my tons and tons of brushes I use on a daily basis.
I spend way too much time browsing through the brush collection after collection and this would be an incredible tool!!
Thanks for your consideration

January 6, 2010Would love to have this software on my Mac… I use brushes all the time, but have had to do a kludgey (technical term, LOL) very time-consuming work-around with an app made for Windows, on my Macbook Intel Pro…
