I use decorative brushes all the time, but sometimes, it’s just not in the proper orientation. Here’s a quick way to rotate your brush using the Brushes Panel. Of course this isn’t the only way, quite often I’ll stamp each brush on a seperate layer and Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and rotate them. Just depends on what I’m doing.
Enjoy!
Last time we made a brush from line art, this time from an image. Just need to add one more step… Threshold to make the image black or white, no greys. This works best when the subject is clearly defined from the background.
Making brushes in Photoshop is easy if you know how. This short tutorial will show you how to make a brush from a simple or hand drawn graphic. If you go to Edit and Define Brush Preset is not available, your graphic may be too big. Through CS5, max brush size is 2500 pixels, but in CS6 it’s 5000 pixels. Go to Edit – Image Size and resize the image to fall within the acceptable range. And while you can make a brush from any shade of grey, you will only get 100 opacity if you use 0,0,0 black.
