Converting nib to abr?

Does anyone know how to convert .nib (Corel Painter brushes) to .abr (Photoshop brushes)? I've searched everywhere, and I can only find how to convert .abr to .nib.

    I don't know about a converter but there's always the painstaking route. Open up Corel Painter, "stamp" a brush in a new transparent document then save it as a transparent png. Open it up in Photoshop, then save it as a brush (edit > define brush preset). That will put it in the brush list to choose from HOWEVER.... you HAVE to save them to a brush set (using the preset manager) before you reset or replace the brushes or else they will be lost forever. It's a little bit annoying to figure out, but there's always F1 ("Work with the Preset Manager") to help you along.
