View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and try bristle brushes. The first thing I notice, is the lack of pressure control. This baffles me. Is this just a programming limitation? As a painter, I depend on pressure to create nuanced effects.
I'd be interested in seeing how people are using this feature. The demos on Youtube are not impressive, but I'm sure someone is using them to their potential.
Bristle brushes have an option near their size sliders named "restore to original size" ... but for some brushes, this option is resetting brushes to another size other than the original size appearing on the brush swacthes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the bristle brush to create some organic highlighting on my objects. Since the file gets too large & unmanageable, I tried thinking of other ways to reduce it down to just one gradient mesh object. I've seen suggestions of converting the bristle brush strokes to Raster, but I need this to be scaleable.
I've attached an image that shows an example of the bristle brushed object (painted inside an object), the outline view and the crazy Expanded view. How to combine this into one gradient mesh object?
I created user defined AI brushes which I can't find to delete within MAC Lion. They are not in Library>Application Support>Adobe, because Adobe Illustrator folder does not exist there. They are not under Users either. Any clues as to were these custom brushes are buried?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi know this question is very general but are there any tips on creating outer and inner corner points for pattern brushes in Illustrator? The pattern brushes that are already installed with illustrator have very smooth corner points that blend well, even around quite sharp inner and outer corners. But when i create my own pattern brushes, i just dont seem to get it right.
View 2 Replies View Related1) I'm trying to do is to create an ellipse that has less steep curves at its corners (essentially making it a little more rectangular). I realize that if you create an ellipse, then use the direction tool, you can pull on the guidelines to make the curves less steep and achieve the affect I want. However, I was wondering, is there a feature when I can just enter in an amount and it will adjust all four corners to that amount without me having to fineagle with the direction tool?
2) Is it possible to create my own custom type of elipse where when I use the ellipse tool, and drag it out to make an elipse, it will already have these corners that I'd like?
I just recently re-installed CS4 onto another computer and now I can't select "Custom" in the size when creating a new document.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some brushes that I'd used in Photoshop CS4 (still have Photoshop cs4 on my system) I'd purchased the CS6 Master Suite - and don't have those brushes in PS6.
I navigated to my Photoshop CS4 installation into Presets>Brushes thinking to Copy and Paste them into my PS6 installation, and don't see them there. Have looked both in 64 bit and 32 bit program area (I'm running Windows 7 64 bit system), and can't find all those brush presets anywhere.
Have tried searching for .abr files from the start menu but that's not pulling anything up (not even the ones installed with CS6 so not sure how to use that search properly or if it can't search by document type).
I just started using this new version of photoshop it seems nice and all, But when I go to use one of my custom brushes I have thats lighting on another layer and there is only 5 layers and the 5th one I can not add my brush effect of lighting to it.comes up with a not enough memory...now I built my own Desktop pc it had 8 cores AMD processor 4.0ghz and 32.gb quad core ram !... and I am running windows 8 pro on my main HD I am using right now. I never had this problem with the old photoshop cs5 version at all.
why didn't they test out 90% of all the bugs before releasing this app ?I need this for my business I do online creating graphics and digital art.if this is not fix within the next week fast. I will just cancel my membership and demand my money back and just go back to using photoshop CS 5 again.I went to this version cause they mentioned in the information about it that it's more suited for Wacom pen tablet intuos 5 multi touch.so it seems theres a memory leak in this version of photoshop and they really need to fix it fast.I would and plus I will also spam this about the app being poorly coded and programmed all over the net. !! even on youtube and record my use of it and how it has so many bad errors in it. and set as a warning not to buy this app till at least 3 years down the road when they have everything fixed in it in another version of it, like always ! cause of this I feel cheated and ripped off !
This use to be a matter of dragging my old brushes to the brushes folder. This doesn't seem to be the case with CC CS6. CS6 doesn't see any of my custom brushes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a slew of neat brushes in PhotoShop CS2 that took a lot of hit and miss attempts to create. I'm talking about the brushes that show up on the drop-down menu, and not the Brush Presets.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to use a brush, the program slows down to a crawl. For instance: I open a 600 x 450 JPG and load a size 175 brush. Everything is fine until I increase the brush size. 175 - 900 is OK, but then the brush tip starts to lag like all hell. Reducing the brush size doesn't help. Apparently the problem also depends on the image size. When I load the same brush and a 1440 x 900 JPG, the lagging kicks in earlier. I tried changing the performance settings, but to no avail.
I'm using CS4 11.01 and Windows XP SP3.
How do I install and use custom brushes?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded some brushes off the internet, and while loading them into Photoshop, I accidentally clicked "Replace" (which is inexplicably set as the default), instead of "Append". ALL of the custom brushes that I've ever made were instantly gone. I never saved my brushes as an actual Set. So I don't have an .abr file with my brushes in it. But Photoshop has to store these brushes SOMEWHERE right? Please tell me they're not gone forever. Where does Photoshop store these brushes if they're not saved to a specific set?

I decided to try am brushes again. So, I made three custom brushes and they turned out great. I used one to draw a hair and this caused Corel to freak out. The Object Manager froze and wasn't obeying my commands.
I have dowloaded some shapes and brushes from the extension pages of adobe for designs and graphics for commercial use. I have been looking for terms of use and copyright but most of the time could find any and even very often links to author are broken. Can anybody tell me if such elements dowloaded from adobe extension page are free for commercial use.

GIMP MESSAGE:
Saving '/usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/brush.gih' failed:
Could not open '/usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/brush.gih' for writing: Permission denied.
Although I have successfully done this in the past ,for some reason it is now preventing me from saving them in the 'brushes' folder. Incidentally although the brushes I previously produced do NOT appear in this folder (despite having show all files ticked) they do appear in the gimp dialogue and I can use them.
Im using uberstudent (Linux)
I've checked gimp's 'preferences' to see if I have inadvertantly blocked access but cant see anything relevant..
Is there a way to make transparency on custom brushes? I had an idea to make custom brush sets similar to those used in photoshop. I know in Photoshop, Custom Brushes are done with opacity maps With white being transparent and black being full color and all the greys in between being different levels of transparent. I've tried doing that with custom brushes mini and I've also tried making the images transparent, but I just cant seem to make it work. I can get either completely solid and completely transparent. But nothing in between...

how to make some sort of basic-custom geometric shape and control that shape parametrically, like the built-in "Box", "Sphere" and "Cylinder" objects.
Does anyone know if you can print out a copy of your loaded styles, brushes and or custom shapes?
