Well, never done it as radically as kylumi - but I use brushes for mostly grunge, and light effects.

Try and search for the SS brushes series - a great many good brushes there. Remember - if you use brushes to get light beams for instance ALWAYS use the brushes on a seperate layer. Then you are free to play around with opacity, blend methods, you can delete or add to it, change size aso.

I myself am addicted to Grunge Brush sets. I've got hundreds and hundreds of them... love them to death!

Question. I hear people saying how they used brushes to make a cover, etc. How does that work? I only really use the basic brushes. I know it's seems like a generic question, but honestly I have no idea how to use a "designer" or custom brush to enhance a cover. Thanks for any info you can through my way.[/quote]



A very good question and a very good time to ask it.........

My 2 current WIP's "The Red one" [which is actually - Mandy Lane] THE FRONT IMAGE IS A BRUSH and "The White Ribbon" IS COMPLETELY MADE FROM BRUSHES........The reason I use this particular method for some of my covers is that I find it makes things a lot easier when I want to make a colour statement OR when I want a specific look. In this particular case I was making the brush using LEVELS and CONTRAST etc to, remove all the images SKIN TONE or UNWANTED GREY AREAS etc, until, I end up with something much like a line-drawing..........which, I could COLOUR to suit myself.

You can make High Resolution brushes for anything, with anything and as simple or as complex as you want!

But, in any event I just happen to love using Brushes and, have done for years.

you can get custom brushes over at deviantART and other websites as well, all you need to do is download them then load them from your brush pallette options and start using them......here is a link.

no probs buddy............don't forget to grab your brush!! :thumb:

Thanks guys, and thank you KY for that PSD

:bootyshake:

This is an option: duplicate the layer and give it hue/saturation/lighness and then use layer mask to erase with a very soft basic brush so much til you are satisfied.

I am making you a BRUSH, and, also adding a PSD file....so, you can get an idea of how I do these :thumb:
