PafCaf Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I've just created a few "brush from a selection" but whatever I create will only draw in the color of whatever I selected to make the brush. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Hi @PafCaf, You created an Image Brush. Image brushes use the colors and basically the entire image or what you have selected. I think you need to select New Round Brush from the Brushes Panel menu. Online Help..

Old Bruce Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Try making a New Intensity Brush. You will first need to export the "selection" (as a .png) and use that file for the new intensity brush. 17 hours ago, PafCaf said: I've just created a few "brush from a selection" but whatever I create will only draw in the color of whatever I selected to make the brush.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doing wrong? You created an Image Brush when you really wanted an Intensity Brush. An Intensity Brush can be created in the very same way, except a Mask instead of a Pixel must be the source object. (The created brush will be misleadingly named as an Image Brush, though, until you rename it.) An object can be converted to a Mask by the Rasterise To Mask command. A Mask can be viewed as a greyscale image by alt/opt-clicking it in the Layers panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PafCaf Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 Thanks Old Bruce, and everyone else who responded. I was able to create a new brush from a PNG that painted in any color I chose. I appreciate the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
