Congratulations on the DD! Well deserved

Also, I had trouble with the download from this submission, you may want to reupload it. Luckily it's featured on *photoshop-tutorials so I was able to get it.

nokari In reply to partlyconfused [2008-02-06 17:29:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes. You'll download a .zip file that contains 4 large .jpg files of what you see in the preview image.

Help!! I cant get my brushes to look like yours, (the small to large to small again) is it something I need a table for? But over all very helpful Thank you.

nokari In reply to PsifiGirl [2008-01-12 23:59:18 +0000 UTC]

If you're talking about the stroke preview in the Brushes palette, you need to check the Shape Dynamics box and make sure the Control for Size Jitter is set to Pen Pressure.
When it comes to actually using it though, you'll only see the changing of size with a tablet.

PsifiGirl In reply to nokari [2008-01-13 00:03:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I knew it was something like that. I'm off to dig up my tablet.

drhazmat In reply to ??? [2007-12-25 04:38:43 +0000 UTC]

maybe a stupid question but how do i read it if i cant zoom in close enough

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nokari In reply to drhazmat [2007-12-25 04:58:13 +0000 UTC]

If you have Photoshop, you can zoom in by using Control-= (equal sign) or the Zoom tool (Z).
Otherwise, every other kind of preview software (Mac - Preview, PC - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) has zoom tools.

Thank you so much for this! Somehow at first I didn't see your link to this in your reply to my forum post, dunno why, but I'm glad I noticed it

Since it's too late I'll give it a try tomorrow, but I read it all and I think that this time it's gonna work!

Very helpful. I knew a lot of this already, but you taught me several very cool things I didn't know and can't wait to use. Thank you for writing such a detailed tut.

nokari In reply to astarte59 [2007-10-15 02:33:59 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly why I spent so much effort to include EVERYTHING I could possibly think of that was related to brushes, because you won't find that amount of information all in one guide anywhere else on dA.

Eilorendil In reply to ??? [2007-10-10 16:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Just

In my opinion there are too few guides like this around - detailed, well-written and with a huge amount of patience and work behind it. Layout looks clean and professional, and some of the tips in there I - after over 2 years with Photoshop - had no clue existed

Thanks for the submission note to PsTuts - this is one of the few times I'm instantly hitting the YES button I'll add it in a couple of days (since a new tut was just uploaded).

I put a lot of time and effort into this and to hear such praise makes it all worth while.
