Welcome to the Russell Brown Show and this helpful set of scripts, panels, and actions that can assist with several of your design and production tasks. These utilities can be extremely helpful, but they are definitely not perfect. They can occasionally fail and cause some inconveniences.
Please do NOT install these scripts unless you fully understand that I will not be able to easily answer your technical support questions if you have problems. I enjoy making these tools available for free, but I just do not have the time to answer all the email support questions that come my way. I truly apologize for this inconvenience and I hope you understand.
Please enjoy.

Open Source!
The Open Source code is now available for many of my script and panels
Because of new projects and a changing demand for my time, it will be necessary for me to move on to new projects at Adobe. For this reason I will no longer be able to support, or update many of my scripts and panels. Never fear! – I am releasing the source code for many of my programs and if you are a programmer then you can use this code to modify and change my scripts to meet your needs. If you are not a programmer then I recommend working with anyone on the list of programmers that I have supplied below. However! Let me make it clear that his code is not to be sold. This is an open and free source to be used for the good of humankind and Adobe Photoshop users around the world.
May the source be with you...
Included in this release: - Dr. Brown's Services - Adobe Emailer - Adobe Watermark Panel - Adobe Water Colour Assistant

Turn a photograph into a watercolour painting with some help from this step by step guided panel. Take the guess work out of choosing the correct brush. Just click! – And start painting.
This panel was a collaborative project done with Tim Shelbourne from London, England. In honor of this fact and because of my English heritage, I am now spelling WATERCOLOUR as Shakespeare intended. Check out the basic tutorial movie or just download the panel and give it a test drive.

CS6/CC : Script: JUST FIX IT
Preference Remover Utility
Have any of my scripts and panels stopped working? In many cases removing the preference files for my scripts can solve several standard problems. If you need help, then this handy little script may be the solution. Download this script then simply drag the script icon over the startup icon or shortcut icon for Photoshop and it will then launch inside of Adobe Photoshop. Follow the instructions in the script window, and then restart Adobe Photoshop. When it's done, then try using the script or panel again. No promises that this script will work, but if all else fails then it might do the trick.
Instructions: 1. Quit from Adobe Photoshop.
2. Run the script 'JUST FIX IT' by dragging the script file over the Photoshop application icon or shortcut icon.
3. Restart Adobe Photoshop
4. Run the script or panel
5. Problem solved?
ARCHIVES (Looking for really old stuff?)

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I will not have the chance to respond to questions relating to these scripts. Please only use them if you feel confident that you can remove them if something should go wrong. My scripts are definitely not perfect and they will NOT work on every system configuration. Use them at your own risk.
Also, PLEASE tell me if you like these scripts and if you are using them. I can always use encouragement to keep making these utilities. THANKS!!!
