How to Make Your Own Brushes in Photoshop Elements
To create a brush using a custom shape in Photoshop Elements:
How to Save a Custom Brush to a Set
By default, Photoshop Elements adds your brush to whatever brush set is active when you define it. If you ever need to reinstall your software, however, these custom brushes won’t be saved. To back up your custom brushes, you must create a new brush set. Open the Brush palette menu and select Load Brushes to load your custom brush sets. If you want to add more brushes to this custom set later on, load the custom set before you define your new brushes, then remember to save the brush set again after adding to it.
How to Save Variations of a Brush
You can customize the brush and save variations of it. For example, select Brush Settings to adjust how your custom brush looks. Once you’re satisfied, go the Brushes palette menu and select Save Brush. You can then give the variation a new name. Your brush variations will appear in brushes palette. After you’ve added all the variations you want, go to the Brush palette menu and select Save Brushes. You can also use clip art, fonts, textures, or any other graphical assets you can think of to create a custom brush.
