I have tons of Photoshop brushes, but in a lot of cases I don’t even know what I have, and there is no easy way in Photoshop (at least up through CS3) do look at them without loading them and seeing those small icons in brush pallette.

I use a small app called Preset Viewer that lets me view all my Photoshop brushes, shapes, patterns, photos, styles, and compositions. It’s handy!

once your brush is complete, make a seperate layer and start clicking all over with your newly created brush,… use white as your brush color (for your signature, logo, copyright symbol watermark),… then double click your layer to activate the effects dialog window and select emboss,… try pillow emboss – with different depth size blah blah blah,..etc,.. then click ok,.. on your “watermark” layer change the layer mode to “multiply”,.. voila you have yourself a transparent looking watermark that protects your image yet does not obstruct the image using your new created brush!

I learned this trick last week and created a copyright. It is great to just click a brush and tadah a customized copyright.

Thank you for the explanations. Perhaps I will play with this concept for a Valentine’s card.

think of it as an easy way to protect your photograph,… by using the brush feature to “watermark” your photograph,…. create one using your logo or signature etc etc, than you could stamp your low rez pic with out the feature of someone stealing it from the web,.. or for sample prints,..

For mere photographers, custom brushes aren’t much of a deal, they can’t do much with a buddha shaped brush. You should imagine a custom brush like a stamp. If you’ve made a lot of custom brushes, you can stamp all those pictures on the canvas and create a piece of art.
Or imagine you want to make a christmas card, you can photograph a christmas tree, make a brush out of it and put it on your card. Of course it’s possible to just cut out the tree and paste it to the card, but you can save a brush and use that same tree every year for your cards.
There’s an unlimited amount of creative things you can do with brushes, an ordinary photographer won’t necesserarily be interested in them, but Photoshop is not just for photographers, it’s for designers and they have enough ideas to make use of brushes.
