Photoshop :: Why Brush Hardness Grayed Out On Some Brushes

Feb 14, 2013

I can't use the brush tool on brushes other than the round brushes because the hardness option is grayed out.  I get the no go error symbol.

Photoshop :: Hardness Of Square Brushes

Mar 16, 2009

I'm trying to draw some dashed lines in Photoshop, and to this end I've been playing around with the brush settings (Spacing etc). I'm using a square brush, and I managed to draw the dashed line as I want it, with one exception: I can't get the brush to be feathered.

Is it a general thing in Photoshop that you can't change (i.e. soften) the hardness of a square brush, as you can with that of a round brush? I doubt that Photoshop would impose such a limitation - there must be something I'm getting wrong.

I'd really appreciate some help on this. Once again, I'd like to have a soft (i.e. feathered) *square* brush, which I can use for various purposes, including the drawing of dashed lines.

Photoshop :: 0% Hardness Brushes Are Pixelated / Not Smooth?

Nov 15, 2012

I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and I noticed a weird change in how brushes with 0% hardness are displayed. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like this or if it's a problem with my settings etc.
 
So here is how it looks on 500%
 
- 0% hardness brush, Opacity 100%, black on transparent background

- Image Mode is RGB / 8bit

Photoshop :: Brush Hardness In PS 7

Jul 21, 2003

In Photoshop 6, adjusting brush parameters including hardness was easy, but in Photoshop 7, I can't seem to find where these settings are. I have been through the brush palette several times and have found everything BUT basic brush parameters such as hardness and angle. I cannot imaging where they might have moved this or even if they are still accessable.

Photoshop :: Tweaking CS4 Paint Brush Hardness On A...

Jun 13, 2009

In CS4, holding the ALT key down and right-click-dragging left or right decreases/increases brush size continuously on a PC. Is there a comparable way to tweak brush HARDNESS on a PC as you can on a Mac? I have tried additionally holding down the SHIFT key ala the square brackets alternative method for step-changing hardness, and have also tried all combinations of moderator keys to no avail.

Photoshop :: Cannot Set Brush Hardness In CS6-64 / Works Ok In Concurrently Installed CS6-32

Dec 30, 2012

My platform is WIN 8-64 on a Dell XPS8500 with AMD Radeon HD 7570 graphics card and like many others I have the "flicker" problem but the work-around Advance setting of BASIC works for me.  However, I now notice that I cannot set the brush hardness level.  I installed the CS6-32 version concurrently and the brush works fine in that version.  In CS6-64 the brush set on black will not replace white and when set on black it makes only a gray streak no matter what the hardness setting is.

Photoshop :: Right Click To Change Brush Size / Hardness And Roundness

Sep 5, 2012

use i mac i7, lion 10.7.4.
 
It seems that, in CS6 Photoshop, I could RIGHT CLICK, and a small panel would drop down at cursor location, allowing me to change size, hardness, and roundness of the brush.
 
I have recently updated to 13.0.1.  The technique described above no longer works, but I can't be sure that this happened after the update. I may, as often, have screwed up a preference checkbox.

GIMP :: How To Adjust Hardness Of Brush

Sep 22, 2011

I'm trying to figure out how you can adjust the exact hardness of a brush. I see that you can select a brush with a hard edge, or a fuzzy edge, but what if I'd like some middle ground?

While I'm at it, I may as well ask another question as well. I'm used to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8, and on there you could adjust the "step" of a brush. Is there a way to do that on GIMP?

Also, is there a shape tool where you can create spheres or squares?

Photoshop :: Quick Brush Size / Hardness Change - Anyway To Change Shortcut?

The feature where you can quickly change a brush size/ diameter by pressing Alt + hold right click (for Windows) (In Mac, control + alt + left click) is neat but is there any way to change that shortcut to a different combination? I can't find it in the shortcuts list.

Photoshop :: When Change Brush Setting For 1 Brush It Changes Settings For All Brushes

Apr 13, 2013

There are a few things I just don't get about brush settings.  Sometimes it seems my brushes go all wonky.
 
When I change the settings for 1 brush... say I add some jitter to a smooth brush - then suddenly the other brushes get the same jitter applied to them.
 
How can I set the brushes so that each brush has a different setting that doesn't change when I change any other brush settings?
 
p.s.  I also don't get why Adobe has you lock a brush by UNlocking it?  Seems to me it should be the other way around?

Photoshop :: Brush Creation - Brushes Look Jagged

Jan 20, 2012

I've recently started creating brushes to share/sell. I scan vintage documents to create brush sets. As the vintage documents often have fading text/illustrations on yellowed backgrounds, I have to really up the contrast. I usually use levels rather than threshold as I prefer the control I get with levels.
 
Anyway, sometimes the result looks rather jagged. I'm working from high resolution scans.I've noticed if I apply a .3 Gaussian Blur it smooths things out a bit. Does this look normal for a brush?

GIMP :: Brush Settings For Photoshop Brushes?

Oct 7, 2013

A few months ago, I bought a book that had some Photoshop brushes on its CD. Inside the book, each brush had some vallues written under description, for Painter and Photoshop. I have heard that Gimp can import Photoshop brushes but are the settings equivalent to the pnes in Photoshop? Here are some examples of what I mean:

Brodery - Opacity: 70-100%
Flow: 50%
Shape Dynamics:
Size Jitter: 0%
Min diameter: 0

or

Canopy- Opacity: 100%
Flow: 50%
Shape Dynamics:
Size Jitter: off
Angle Jitter: 0%
Roundness
Jitter: 73%
Minimum:
Roundness: 62%
Texture: Wrinkles
Scale: 45%
Texture Each
Tip: On
Mode: Multiply
Depht/Minimum
Depht: 100%
Depht Jitter: off
Diameter: 110px
Spacing: 15%
Scattering: Both
axes: 0%
Count: 1
Other Dynamics:
Opacity Jitter: 0%
Flow jitter: 0%

Could all these settings be done in Gimp? Are they equivalent? How to use them?

Dual Brush:
Diameter: 110px
Spacing: 15%
Scattering: both

Photoshop :: Brush Tool Disappears When Selecting Brushes?

Mar 13, 2013

I'm 10 days from purchasing a version of CS6 after using CS2 for 7 years. I'm wondering if I have a defective program because the tool icon disappears when I switch tools and then reach for a new brush size. I have to click on my desktop to have the tool appear on my monitor. Also, is there a way of getting rid of the huge sample idicator that appears when you sample a color?

Photoshop :: How To Save Brushes Texture Property With Brush

Jan 13, 2013

I just realized that brush presets won't save a brushes texture which is slightly annoying. I'm in CS6 btw and I'm familiar with photoshop which is why I'm posting here.
 
For example I have two brushes, a watercolor one (with texture turned on in the brushes panel to the watercolor background texture) I save it as a tool preset (I'm not making the saving as a brush preset mistake). I go make a paintbrush brush with a different background texture and save it as a tool preset. When I go use the watercolor brush it has the paintbrush background texture and NOT the watercolor.
 
I never touched the texture property until lately so I'm not sure if this has always been this way...
 
Is there some way to save that property or do I manually have to go and change it each time. I want to be able to share my brushes. Do I have to instruct people on which texture to use?

Photoshop :: Brushes Showing In Brush Preset Fly-out Window - CS6

Apr 25, 2013

I've loaded a set of brushes I created into CS6. They show up fine in the menu bar brush window, in the Preset Manager, in the Brush Preset palette above my layers palette, but they will not appear in the brush preset fly-out window. This is where I do all the manipulating of my brushes, of course, so this is essential. I have created many, many brushes and done this many, many times and have never had this problem.

Photoshop :: Proper Location To Store Brushes Or Brush Presets?

Jul 7, 2013

Illustrator has a user section. Photoshop CS5 will display your custom brushes in the preset manager.
 
I use a Mac OSX 10.8. When I download brushes and install them in the User/Application Support/PS/Presets/Brushes they will appear in the preset manager without having to 'load' brushes each time. Yet, when you make a new preset and save the .abr file you can not save them to the proper location since Lion has the library folder hidden by default.
 
For instance, when downloading brushes, it's easier to combined multiple sets into one presets. I don't want 20 different smoke abr files. Yet, I can't save them to Application Support.
 
No one has a clear understanding of how this works (at least not on the internet.) The best thread (from Adobe forums) I found from 2011 stated I should do the above steps, but then a few other users reported thats out of fashion.
