There is a trick how to do that effectively and easily.Ĭreate a white background layer. Some of them may add some character to you brush, but we want to get rid of the majority of them.
Now you can easily see plenty of very tiny ink stains all around our stroke. Once the background is fixed repeat Step 3. If the background stays white, the right slider position is ok. To check if the right slider is moved enough, drag the left slider right to meet the right one. Step 4 (Fixing the background - if necessary)ĭrag the right slider in the Input Levels panel slightly left. Note, in this step always choose ‘Cancel’ - we only want to identify possible artifacts. That means the white background is not truly white. It may happen that the background turns grey (after levels adjustment) Or open the Image > Adjustments > Threshold panel and drag the slider right to the end Open the Image > Adjustments > Levels panel and drag the left slider in the Input Level panel right to the end Great tools to do that are (alternatively) levels and threshold.

From Photoshop 7.0 on it's 2500 px x 2500 px (and 999 px for earlier versions). Second limitation is size: there is a maximum brush size possible.You can make a brush out of a colorful image but converting your document to Grayscale will give you a better idea of what you are doing.Īnything that is white becomes transparent (0% opacity), anything black becomes 100% opaque and any other color turns translucent (opacity somewhere between 0 and 100%). Photoshop uses gray scale info while defining brushes. And what can be a brush is almost anything. Two basic general features that characterize brushes set limits on what can be successfully turned into a brush. How to create and define Photoshop Brushes
