Save Time By
Making brushes with the Brushes palette
Saving brush presets
Loading brush libraries
Brushes, brushes everywhere! So many to use and so little time! Photoshop is your ultimate source for virtual brushes. Any kind of brush that you can imagine you can design and save in Photoshop. With so many options, you can create literally millions of brushes.Brushes set the size and shape of the mouse cursor. When you select a brush, you’re in effect selecting a brush tip. The shape of the brush tip could be anything — round with a soft edge like a magic marker, or square with a chalky texture like a pastel, for instance. (Also, don’t confuse brushes with the Brush tool, which some Photoshop artists also refer to as “the brush.”)Many tools in Photoshop use brushes to define the size and shape of the tool. Any tool that you use to stroke an image uses brush settings. When working with these tools, besides selecting brush size and shape, you also need to select other settings for the tool by using the Options bar; possible settings include opacity, blending modes, and flow. Check out the sidebar “Which tools use brushes?” for a complete list of tools.This technique takes you into the wonderful and sometimes wacky world of Photoshop brushes. Here, you find out where to locate brushes, how to select them, and how to create your own custom brushes. If you use a tablet with a pressure-sensitive stylus, I show you what settings work with pressure and tilt. (For instance, you could set a brush to splatter paint farther from the mouse cursor depending on how hard you’re pressing.) From there, you discover how to save the brushes that you create as presets and in brush libraries. Finally, you take a quick look at brushes available on the Web and how to load them for your use in Photoshop.
Many tools in Photoshop use brushes to define the size and shape of the tool. These tools are Art History Brush, Background Eraser, Blur, Brush, Burn, Clone Stamp, Color Replacement, Dodge, Eraser, History Brush, Pattern Stamp, Pencil, Sharpen, Smudge, and Sponge.
