I have used Photoshop CS2 for photo enhancement and am just now starting to get more into the brushes/artistic aspects of the program.  My question is about moving the brushes.

For example, I have a really cool brush that creates light effects--like a beam of light.  It is the "stamp" type of brush so dragging it really isn't an option.  The brush is completely vertical.  I want to use this brush at a 40 degree angle--how do I tip the brush to angle it?  I'm not finding anything in the help section that addresses this though I cannot imagine there is no way to do this--and it is probably so simple that they didn't think it was necessary to put it in the manual, lol!

In the Brushes pallet, look in the “Brush Tip Shape” section to change the angle.

Have you got a tablet - some brushes can be set to tilt with your pen.
God luck-

Yes, I have a tablet too.  Though the other method worked perfectly, I would love to know how to set it up with the tablet too!

I know it is a little late to be trying to answer this but, you can also use the "Distort" function under the 'edit tab' to pull a new layer with the light on it into the direction you desire. This works well for Semi Wrap function as well.
