Oay, I got to step 9 before I hit a wall. I tried several ways to create a brush, none of them seemed the correct way but I did manage to get one made but it only shows up in black and white. Did I miss a setting to create it in color? I tried to open a new PSD file which was 3K x 3K just to test the brushes. I tried one with a transparent background, and one with a white background, when I selected the brushes and went crazy as you said, I was not able to change the transparency level in the top right corner as it was grayed out. And as I stated before, all the brushes appeared in the new PSD file as black and white. What did I do wrong? :-(
