Custom Brush is Crashing CS6

[Drumsloot]

Hi,

The brush I'm using is attached.

An artist I like uses this brush all the time, so I decided to give it a go. I've fallen in love with the look it gives my paintings, but sadly, I've noticed that it very often crashes Photoshop CS6 after only a few strokes. I refuse to give up on this brush (since it works just fine for him), so I want to find a way to make this work.

-Windows 7 64-Bit
-Adobe Photoshop CS6 64-Bit
-NVidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti (have tried every driver released since May 2013, no joy)

I have tried changing to "Basic" in the Performance window; still crashes. I have tried removing Scattering and Dual Brush effects; still crashes. I have tried increasing amount of Memory CS6 can use to 100%; still crashes.

My OS and CS6 are both the most up-to-date versions. What else is there left to try?

If you didn't make it it might be a bad file or corrupted when acquiring it, try to reload it or make it.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I've figured out how to make on that's very similar - let's hope it works.

As a side note, re-loading the downloaded brush did not end the crashes.

I'll report back about my newly-made brush!

Working so far! Must have just been a bad file? Thanks a lot. Such a simple, but effective, solution

I always try for the simple easy fixes...If they work great, if not then go for the complex.:banghead:
