Tutorials::Using an Image PackIntroIn this tutorial, I am going to explain how to use Image Packs to download brushes. An image pack is a pack of images with brushes on it. They are used when you want to use brushes, but the brush set that you downloaded is not compatible with your program. Image packs are very simple and easy to use.Step 1First, download the image pack you want to use. It usually comes in a zip file. When it is finished loading, right click on the zip file and select "Extract All" or "Unzip File" or some other such thing. If this isn't an option, just double click on the zip file and drag the file inside onto the desktop. You may get a big image with multiple brushes on it, or many images with one brush on each. If you download one of my brushes, you will get the latter.Step 2If you get many images with a brush on each, all you have to do is open all of these images in photshop and do Edit>Define Brush... for each. (Don't worry about excess white space around the brushes or anything, that doesn't matter.) When you hit "define brush", a window will pop up, and you will be allowed to name the brushes. It really doesn't matter what you name it, you can name it something like "brush_01" or "cheez". I usually name mine [name of brushset_#]. (Well I don't literally name my brushes "brushset_#", but hopefully you know what I mean.)Now scroll down all the way to the bottom of your brushes window, and you should see the newly added brush. Try using it on a seperate canvas. It works! Muahaha! Step 3If you get one image with many brushes on it, like this, you'll be able to do that easily as well. First, open it in photoshop. (Gasp!) Now, take the marquee tool (a dashed box) and surround one of the brushes.
Step 4Go to Edit>Define Brush and name the brush. Aaaand you're done! ;)Other(None)Do you have a question or comment? E-mail Me. |
