Importing Brushes from PSP 7

The following process works for PSP 9 and PSP X (10) and I'm pretty sure will work for PSP 8.

In PSP

In File menu select Import option
Select Custom Brush option (see figure below)

The window (see below) is presented

Select Open and browse to the folder containing the PSP 7 brushes you want to use and add each file
Each file you add will show the brushes it contains in the Brushes part of the window (see below)

To add each brush highlight it in the Brushes window and press Add button. If you add each individually this may take time as the window closes after the add. It may be easier to press the Add All button and add all the brushes you have referenced.
