tonyt Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi I have typed c2016 in black on a white background. I have selected it with the rectangular marquee, ctrl c / ctrl v to copy the selection to a new layer then used filters / colours / erase white paper but don't get a piece of text on a transparent background that I can save and turn into a brush! HELP! Many thanks all...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmac Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think you need to convert the text to curves and save it as a .png but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi tonyt, maybe you should go with an intensity brush: A. Create the intended text and save your image to your hard drive as a PNG file. There is no need to convert the text to curves. B. Go to the Brushes panel, choose Create New Category (optional) and then New Intensity Brush from the hamburger menu. A dialogue will open, where you can choose your PNG as the intensity source for your brush. C. A new brush entry is instantly created in the brushes list. Double click the new entry, and adjust the settings as desired. I would allow generous spacing. D. Happy painting. Hope that helps … :) Alex Elf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
