Working with brushes
Working with brushes is an important part of using the painting and editing tools. The
brush you select determines many characteristics of the resulting stroke. Photoshop and
ImageReady provide a variety of preset brushes to fill a wide range of uses. In Photoshop,
you can also create custom brushes using the Brushes palette.
Using the Brushes palette (Photoshop)
The Brushes palette lets you select preset brushes and design custom brushes.
