No…. Sorry… PNG files are not brushes by themselves…

You have to open and save each one as a brush….

You could create an action for those steps… but the brushes wouldn’t be named and you’d have to go back and actually save the set after loading them

1- Are there any wedding guys out there using FCP?

You care correct… not as many as Premiere Pro and others… but you should look at WEVA and its website/publications. You will see FCP stories in there. Plus Apple is very accommodating with many of its DVD and Motion templates specifically with a “wedding” look.

2- If so are you happy, can you compare the two, specific to wedding/baptism industry?
Can’t comment here….

3- Can I start my business using a laptop, or is a desktop system a must. Why/why not?
Laptops are great… (own several for my business)… but
Break More (because they are moved a lot)
Get stolen More (because they are popular)
Are More Expensive (Because they are portable)

Dollar for Dollar, the new IMac High End Rocks… I just bought one… If you are only working in DV.. you likley have no reason to buy a pro tower…

If you work with other formats… then you’ll want the expandipility of card slots.

Do you wan tthe texture to work in PS or another app?

[Richard Harrington]

Turn the layer into a Smart Object first

[Richard Harrington]

Use Smart Objects for the layer…. then apply layer styles…

You can replace the contents of a Smart Object.

You may also want to attach a mask but unlink it

[Richard Harrington]

No overlap…. no help….

You can’t really expect an unintelligent device to do magic….

Sorry
