Dear friends, please do help a newbie with the following Photoshop 7.0 situations: 1) I need to stroke a Bezier line (made with pen tool) with a brush, but instead of a path (line) I get a segment filled with paint? But I remember that in Photoshop 6 I could stroke the path and it was a line. 2) In Photoshop 6 I could control not only the type and size of the brush but it's hardness as well. i. e. I could make a 10-pixels brush with 100% opacity in the centre and 10% at the very edge or 90% in the centre and 80% at the edge (though I couldn't see the exact figures I could make it by eye and see the sample in a little thumbnail). Also I was told there is a way to make brushes of any shape and type I need. How can this be done? Thank You very much in advance, Anthony Pontigary Junior.

When you use the Pen Tool in Photoshop 7, you can select "Shape Layers" or "Paths" at top (just below the word Image). If you select "Shape Layers", it can be filled with solid color or choose a style.

As for the hardness, Windows - Brushes and click on "Brush Tip Shape". Here you can adjust diameter, angle, roundness, hardness and spacing. There is a "create new brush" icon at bottom left of palette.

"Brush Tip Shape" is only one of the menus. Experiment with the other ones. You can do amazing things with the new dynamic brushes in Photoshop 7.
