  All the .abr files are the PS brushes. To add them in PS, one of the ways is from Edit - Preset Manager. Happy exploring~

  Personally, i am using Marcomedia FreeHand, Flash 8 and Adobe's PS CS, Acrobat.
  It is very easy to toggle a file between PS and Freehand and Flash 8, they are built to compliment each other. I enjoy the comfort of using the softwares.
  So when Macromedia took over Adobe. Greater softwares will be produced.
  
  CheerS!

  It is a good move from a "Design" point of view only. Yes, I agree, that Adobe is the King in that arena, and the move will prove beneficial.
  
  However, when it comes to "Development", as in code, as in Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, etc. - that's where the problem will be...

  photorealistic would be an actual photo.
  
  or you can try lens flare
  
  or a drawn circle with outer glow.

  Then open up the headlight photo inside of photoshop and make sure you use the color sampler. Take some samples of the different colors that are being used in the photo-light. Make a little list of them.
  
  Then on your testing circle, play with those colors, making a higher brightness, or more/less saturation, etc.
  
  That way at least your colors will be in the same family.
