I have a question about Ron's Bokeh

Hello,

The product comes with two .abr files. One for the brushes and another one for the lights. The latter's namefile exactly is: Rons Bokeh Lights.abr. I already imported the brushes file to Photoshop 2025. My question is: how do I import the lights file into PS? Since it is not a file composed of brushes (or is it?), I don't think I am supposed to import the lights from within the brushes window in Photoshop, right? I can always just double-click the file from within Windows Explorer and it should get installed just fine. The problem of that approach is that I have both versions of Photoshop installed on my system. Photoshop 2025 standard and also the Beta version. And last time I installed something from within Windows explorer, it ended up installed only in the Beta.

    They are both brushes, for painting onto your mages (perhaps to a mask for applying an overlay).

    Hey Richard,

    Thanks for the reply. Since both are .ABR files, I assumed that they are installed the same way, so I just got them imported into the non Beta version of Photoshop (which is the one I actually use) using the import function from within the Brushes window.

    I still have a lot to learn about doing post work in Photoshop. When it comes to FX brushes, I usually stamp them on a new empty layer on top of the image I want to modify.

    Yes, or in white into a mask used to apply an effect.
