I’ve found GForces alpha /brush vault. I downloaded them to my ipadbut im having some trouble installing:

my nomad files doesnt have a alpha folder, do I just create one?  
the brushes I downloaded doesnt have a .json file do they need one?

You can create you’re own folder but if you import and alpha within the app then the folder should be created.

I’m wondering if it’s already there and you’re just not seeing it or looking in the right location.

And no, doesn’t have to be .json files. I use .jpeg alphas I create all the time.

I ended up making my own folder and importing the .jpeg and its working as it should!

Thanks for your response!
