Got on P2L today, the admin there called it "AMAZING" in the description he gave it. Because I'm lazy and I just type the title in...

[frietkot]

mmm, the brush set doesn't work on my computer. I have photoshop 6,7 and cs 2 all saying it's not compitable with this version... wierd

[SKETCHi]

Yeah that is weird. I saved the set in PS7. It should be compatible with version 7 and all versions after it.

[Price]

Yes, I have the same problem.
Running on Photoshop CS.

[SKETCHi]

Ok, well I have figured out that the problem is caused by either the forum or the server. Contact me on AIM as UnDeRDoSe09 and I will send you the file.
