How do you transfer your Photoshop CS3 Extended brushes to your Photoshop CS?

I downloaded Photoshop CS3 Extended from the net. It's a free trial. I've downloaded some brushes and loaded it in my Photoshop CS3. Tomorrow is the last day of the trial and I need to know how to transfer those brushes to the Photoshop CS that I bought. I deleted those brushes from my computer since my computer memory is getting full. Can anybody help me?

1. It seems like I am a little late as you might already have lost your access to the trial, but here is the infromation you asked for anyway. If your Photoshop is working all you have to do is click on the brush tool, and on the options bar (the bar below the words File, Edit, etc) click on the the arrow pointing foward next to the picture of your brush, that will give you a little flyout menu with pictures of lots of brushes. If the brushes you want to save are there, click on the icon to the right (a round circle with an arrow pointing to the right) and select Preset Manager (if they are not there just follow info as if you didn't have access anymore). Select the Brushes you wish to save (you can select more than one by holding down the CTRL key on Windows or the apple key on a Mac) and then click on Save Set. Give your file a name you will remember and save it in the Brushes folder, inside the Presets Folder, inside the Adobe Photoshop CS folder (be careful if you use Vista, you do not want to save it in the App Data folder, you have to do it under Program files > Adobe> etc...). Now the next time you launch Photoshop CS you can click on the brush tool, and then click on the flyout menu and the circle button inside of it and your set of brushes will be listed there. If you don't have access to Photoshop, don't dispair, there is still hope! You might have deleted the file you downloaded but depending on how you installed it, your brushes file might still be in your computer. search for files with the extension ABR (use your computer's seach function), if would be under something like Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS3 > Presets > Brushes, if you find the file you are looking for just move it to the Photoshop CS folder and you should be all set.
