Creating custom brushes


Before you make your own brush set, you must delete all the old brushes from the brush inspector. It won't delete the brush set from the disk, only from the list of currently used brushes. You can always bring them back by loading them.
Select one of the brushes and right-click > Delete > OK. Repeat for each brush until the list is cleared.
Step 1: Pick an image

It can be a drawing, a photo, whatever you find convenient. The idea is to extract a part that you like to use on your own blends. Make sure you have permission for use of a certain image if it's not made by you.



Step 2: Desaturate and Contrast


Your brushes must be black and white. So if you're using a colored image, first go to: Image > Adjustments > Desaturate (or hit Shift+Ctrl+U). This will turn your image to grayscale. Then, go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast... and change the settings while you look at the image. There should be as less gray as possible, as much black and white as possible (except if you're going for the misty look) - try to make it clean and recognizable.



Step 3: Extract brush


Pick Polygonal Lasso Tool and select part of the image you wish to use as brush.



Go to: Edit > Define brush... It will pop up a window showing properties of your new brush. Enter name and click OK.

Check out the brush inspector and you will find the brush there. Yay! You made yourself your first brush! icon_biggrin.gif Try it!



Step 4: Save brush set


When there are more brushes on the list you would like to keep, save them as a brush library (or set). Choose Brushes > Save brushes..., enter name, save and you're done icon_smile.gif
