Making a Custom Brush

Here will be instructions for both PSP 7 and PSP 8. 
I will do the instructions for PSP 7 are below.
Instructions for PSP 8 are on the next page Just Click Here for PSP8

Sooooo lets start with psp 7
I will be using a Tube to create our Brush

1.  Open the tube you wish to make a brush from.
2.  If the tube is larger than 255 X 255 you will need to resize it so that it is no bigger than this.
3..  Select/Select All
4.  Select/Float
5.  Select/Defloat  ( this will have the marching ants arount the image.)  Now be sure to leave this image up and selected for the next steps.

Sample 1

6.  Click on your Paint Brush Tool (you will need to have your Tool Options Palette Open)
7.  See Screen Shot below.  Click on the brush icon #1 and then click on Custom #2
Sample 2

8.  When you click the Custom button the next box will pop up.  Click on the  Create button (note you should now see the image you selected in the view box.  If you do then when you click on the Create button your custom brush has now been created :) 
Now all that is left is to Click on the OK button and you now have a custom brush.

In PSP 7 I have not found a place to name your brush sooooo if anyone knows how to name them let me know :)

Sample 3

One last screen shot.  This shows what my bushes look like in the view window after I made about 3 or so of the same brush to do this tut :)
