Custom Brush

Added: Sep 23, 2005 Level: Beginner Software: Photoshop

To create a custom brush from part of an existing image, first select the portion of the image you want to use. Here we selected the entire image of this rubber ducky. The area must be less than 1000x1000 pixels, since that is the largest bruch you can make, and objects on a white background work best.
Now go to the brushes palette submenu and select define brush. You now have your brush in the next avaiable spot.
This works great for all kinds of repetitive things. It is great for stamping logos or your signature on your work. You can make any kind of pattern or shape and define it as a brush. Be creative!
