Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Using and modifying custom brushes, part of Photoshop for Photographers: Creative Effects.
Now that we know a little bit about how we can download, install, and eventually…use custom brushes, here I want to dig a bit deeper.…In particular, I want to explore how we can change a brush size and color, and…also, how we can change different brush characteristics.…So what I want do is go ahead and press the B key to select the Brush tool,…then if you hover over your image, you can right-click or Ctrl-click to open up…your brush options.…In this case, I am going to go ahead and choose a brush which really isn't…necessarily a traditional brush. I'm going to select this one here, it's an…electro sketch brush. I'll go a head and decrease the Size a little bit.…
And as I change the Size here--let me just try to find a nice size for this photograph.…I am going to then add this brush onto the image.…To do that I'll click off of this area, and then I'll go ahead and with the…Brush tool click into my layer and then just click in order to add that.…Next, you can see then I have my before and then now my after.…
