GIMP is a photo-editing tool much like Photoshop. You can visit the My Gimp Tutorial website and learn how to use various aspects of using GIMP, as well as installing brushes.
To use ABR files in GIMP, you need to convert them into GIMP-compatible format. You can do this by opening GIMP and going to the "Brushes" panel. Then, copy the ABR files into the GIMP brushes directory, typically found in your GIMP installation folder under share/gimp/2.0/brushes. After placing the files there, restart GIMP, and the brushes should appear in the Brushes dialog.
no, unfortunatly not
There is no such option in Photoshop. If you mean Vector Photoshop shapes then the shapes can be used for infinite things in Photoshop such as layers, masks, as frames, as a source for selections, as a source for actual brushes, for patterns, for exporting to other applications, used in shape blurs, used as cookie cutters in Photoshop elements. Illustrator vector brushes exist as do expression and Xara vector brushes and many others but sadly, as yet, Photoshop has no vector format brushes.

One very good free alternative to Photoshop is Gimp. There is also Gimp Shop that is a Gimp that looks similar to Photoshop.
My Computer --> Local Disk --> Program Files --> GIMP 2.0 --> share --> gimp --> 2.0 --> brushes
Free alternative for Photoshop is a GIMP.
It's a matter of personal opinion. Photoshop is probably used by more professional artists. On the other hand, the Gimp is free.
The brushes should already come with the GIMP once downloaded. You don't have to download things separate.
less userfriendly than photoshop but when u get used to it its fine
You can go to Deviantart to find brushes.
