    Well the brush itself can’t be imported into photoshop 7, but you can use the brush to make another brush for photoshop 7. Here is the basic idea….

    1) Load the brush into CS2 and stamp it on a new blank white image
    2) Save the file as a PSD image
    3) Open up the PSD file in photoshop 7
    4) Hold ctrl and hit “A” to “Select All” which will put a border around the entire white image. That is fine.
    5) Go to Image >> Adjustments >> Levels… and move the arrow to the right to make the image as dark as possible without degrading its quality.
    6) Click ok to leave the dialog box
    7) Go to Edit >> Define Brush… 8) Save the brush with a new name (leave it as psd extension)
    9) Now select the pen tool and go to the brushes palette window… scroll down to the bottom and you should see your new brush there. Select it and go back to the image you want to use it on.
    10) You can use the new brush on whatever image you like.

    Hopefully these steps don’t appear too complicated. Just take each one step by step and you should be fine. I know this is troublesome if you have a bunch of brushes, but remember when Photoshop 7 was out, CS2 wasn’t even thought of yet. You can’t expect them to be compatible.

    Going from photoshop 7 up to CS2 with brushes are just fine however.

    Hope this information has helped you out. Good luck!
