Quick explanation.....and I mean really quick! Photoshop, Grungy Brushes gleened from various websites and an image. Do your postwork as you normally would. Make a new layer and grab a grungy brush, slap paint on! Don't like it? Undo, try again. Once you like the paint job you've done, go to your blending layer options, try them all out see how they look, vary the opacity...whatever strikes your fancy.... One other thing...I like to use lots of layers so that I can change things easily and add more variations to the look. No big secret, just lots of playing around. Five minutes of paintslapping in Photoshop...can't remember exactly where I got the brushes...but the link peterke gave is a good place to start, that is one I've had on my favorites list for a while. My name is a brush I made in Photoshop.

I am, therefore I create.......

It's soooo easy...just open a pic, use your marquee to select the area you want to make into a brush (er this is all in photoshop7) go to edit-define brush-name the brush, and ta-da that it. Play with your opacity,fx,&colors.

Thanx! I have PSP & photoshop, shop is still very new to me, I know my way around PSP more, it does a lot of the same stuff & supports quite a few of the same plugins- I've had to download a prog. that keeps the plugins for both all together to avoid dupes & lets the progs load faster... still learning...always

Yup, what spiderweb said...that's how you do it. Just got back from a long holiday weekend...not trying to ignore anyone.

I am, therefore I create.......
