Making Brushes

This tutorial will show you how to make brushes that you can use on PSP or give out on your site.

Step 1

Make your brush by pixeling it out or using shapes, pictures, scans, etc. Only use black, white, and shades of grey. Anything that is white will be transparent. Crop to get rid of extra space, and press Ctrl+A to select it.

Step 2

Click on the brush tool or press B on your keyboard. Click the paintbrush icon with a selection around it (circled in the example below).

Step 3

Name it and fill in the other info if you want. Press OK. Now you should be able to use your brush :)

Offering Brushes

If you want to offer brushes on your site, go to your My Documents folder. In there should be a folder called My PSP Files (mine is called My PSP8 Files, since I have version 8). Look in your brushes folder for your brushes. Right click in a blank space and click New > Compressed Folder. Name it brushes.zip or something similar. Then drag your brushes into the .zip folder. Upload the folder to your site and use this code to link to it.
