Tuesdays Quickie Tip is for Mac users. This tip doesn’t just apply to photoshop. Remember when you use to be on a Windows run machine(i’ll just refer to this as a PC from now on) and when you go to save a document, or do something it gives you options (just like a mac). On a PC, for example when you go to close something it may ask if you want to save the document, and by default you can hit enter to say yes, or if you want to cancel you can hit tab, then enter. On mac’s, tab just doesn’t work, and if you want to chose an option other than the default you have to use your mouse. You may have noticed that when you hit the tab key, the highlight moves to other options, but enter doesn’t work. Guess what? The space key does work! Use the space key to choose the highlighted button, or tab to move the highlight to the correct option, and then the space bar to use it. I was super excited when I finally found this out!

Theme week alert! This week I would like to share some photoshop tips I find useful and image sheets of tags.
Today’s tip is how to make a (graphic) brush in photoshop. Open your image. Go to image, then image size. If your pixels (either width or length) is bigger than 2500, then set the highest number to 2500. If the file is not at 2500 pixels or smaller, you will not be able to make your image into a brush.
When you make your brush, all white areas of the image will appear as transparent in the brush. if you have an image with a black background, you may want to invert the image by going to image, adjustments, invert. I made some brushes using images of smoke that had black backgrounds. It would have been hard to erase the black areas of the image because of the transparency of the smoke, but I did not want the black areas to be solid when I made the brush. Inverting the image worked perfectly.
Now that your image is sized at 2500 pixels or lower, and you have your white/transparent areas of the image set, you are ready for the complicated process of creating a brush. You may want to take notes. Here we go:
Go to edit, then define brush preset. Type your brush name and get ready for the hard part. Select your brush tool, and then look in the brush menu, scroll to the bottom if necessary. I guess I should mention… here is your brush! That’s all there is to it.
If you would like to play around with brush settings go to the brushes palette and start playing. Try adjusting the color dynamics sliders for some fun effects!
