Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
Micrografx Picture Publisher was a graphics editor for Microsoft Windows. Its mbs files stored brush shapes that could be used while creating or editing images.
The file is a resource for Picture Publisher rather than a regular image document. It is intended to be loaded by the program so that its brush shapes become available for drawing.
Micrografx was later acquired by Corel, and the Picture Publisher product line was discontinued. The mbs format is obsolete and is not commonly used by current graphics software.
Open an mbs file with Micrografx Picture Publisher on Microsoft Windows. Use the file-loading or brush-management features in Picture Publisher to make the brush shapes available.
Because Picture Publisher is discontinued, modern Windows systems may require an older compatible environment.
The file stores brush resources rather than a conventional image, so it is not normally converted directly to a standard image format.
To create a standard image, open the brush file in Micrografx Picture Publisher, use the brush shape in an image, and export or save that resulting image in a supported format. Keep the original mbs file if the brush shapes need to remain editable or reusable.
