Painting of samples.

#1

Hello,

I would like to ask, if there is any possibility to make something like custom brush, but to keep colours?

Eg: i would like to make field of flowers. I can define the sample but I cant paint it like with normal brush (size, jitter, rotation, randomness …).

Thanks for any help,
Jiri

G’Day, have not done it yet in Photoshop, but u can do it in Paint shop Pro, with variations of size, colour, shape etc, under one brush style.
good luck. Sorry…

Select the first flower, go to edit - define brush preset, go to the brush editor and choose your spacing and set shape dynamics(rotation, scaling,etc.) to jitter or pen pressure.

Thanks, but the brush doesn’t keep colour information. Brush is only scale of gray. Is there any possibility to make it that way, that the colour is stored as well?

Unfortunately Photoshop has no way of doing this.

Use the Clone Stamp tool and change the brush settings for desired effect.

The problem with using the Rubber Stamp tool is that you can’t paint in continuous lines; you’d have to keep raising the brush, in which case, simply selecting and alt+moving would be just as fast. I mean, it is technically possible, if you switch the Relative option off, to do what you’re saying, but I think it would be just as much of a hassle as manual copying and moving around.

What Photoshop really needs is an equivalent of Paint Shop’s (or was it Painter?) Image Hose tool.

I think it is paint shop pro that had the image hose… from memory (1998 yikes!)

That’s why you initially duplicate the flower by hand, and then use the Clone Stamp tool to create a field of flowers.

CIM, you’re not making a whole lot of sense.

“What Photoshop really needs is an equivalent of Paint Shop’s (or was it Painter?) Image Hose tool.”

I wonder what the story is on that? Users have been asking for this for years. Is there a good reason for not doing it that I am not aware of?

#12

I make perfect sense. Who would want to manually duplicate the flower hundreds of times? The Clone Stamp tool wins.

Photoshop isn’t (mainly) a painting program. I wouldn’t be surprised if Adobe tossed it in one of these releases though.

Plug-in for this is: http://www.humansoftware.com/pages1200/Photospray/HSpsp11.html

for $50 - of course nothing is free or easy… Sigh.
