To open the currently active brush set, use the icon in the toolbar. It features a stylized paintbrush and a Brush Tool tip pops up on hover.

If you downloaded from the Internet or received a file with a set of brushes in another way, it is very easy to open it in a graphics editor - left-click this object twice. If Photoshop is running, you will not notice any effects, but the collection of brushes from the file will be added to the current list of brushes, and you can use it.

To do this, on the above-mentioned "Brush Sets" tab, click the icon at the upper right edge and in the context menu that opens, select the "Load brushes" line. In the opening dialog, find the required abr-file, select it and click the "Load" button.

The context menu of the Brush Presets tab contains a list of brush collections that you can load or unload as needed. You can also add a set from your file with the abr extension to this list. To do this, place it in the same folder where Photoshop stores its brushes. Copy it to the Brushes directory, which is placed in the Presets folder of the root directory of the graphic editor.
