Creating A Quick Brush
This is a quick tutorial on how I create my brushes, and some of the effects
I get using them. I know there is most likely a 'neater' way of doing
this, but this is the quickest way I have found. I create these
for repetitive use of and image, ie) creating backgrounds, etc.
Materials Needed:
- PSP 8
- A Black & White image
You can get a free 30 day trial of Jasc
here, and I have posted a few sample images
here.
You can also use this image if you like. Right click and save to disk.
1. Click on the paint brush tool.
2. Click on the pre-shaped brushes.
 In this tool you will notice that
there are several options. You want to create a new brush.
 This appears inside the little
window we just opened to the right hand side.
3. You will then see this screen....
Fill in the name with what you want to call the brush. I used
"bwrose". Then you can add the author and copyright if you wish.
Click OK.
Well, it's pretty much that easy. To use the brush, go back to your
brush tools, and click on the pre-shaped tool. You should now see your
rose your created in the list. You choose a color, gradient or texture
for your brush and use at what ever desired settings you want. You may
need to play with the settings to get it exactly how you want it to be.
Here are some of my results from this tube.
