Hi Liz,

As far as I can tell, there is no such plugin, and it will be
difficult to make this happen (although doable).

1) Some Photoshop features won't map to GIMP's features: different
tools' options, slightly different brush engine, Photoshop's brush
dynamics not supported in the existing .abr loader.

2) Someone needs to actually sit down and write the code
(reverse-engineering the .tpl file format should not be a problem).
