Brushabilities - Lesson 10


Today we learned how to make our own brush from an image. Jessica provided a leaf image that we first desaturated, and then changed the black level fro 0 to 115. We selected the leaf with the rectangular marquee tool, then edit -> define brush preset, and named our brush. It was that easy! The photo here has the original image on the left (taken by Jessica Sprague) and the brush that I created from that image, stamped in a greenish color. Cool, huh? Jessica also showed us how to manage our brushes loaded in Photoshop and how to export a brush that we've created as an .abr file by going to edit -> Preset manager.

That's really neat. I didn't know you could do so much to pictures. I only crop, adjust the level and image size. Then save.
