So now you know three different ways to change the brush size in Photoshop, along with a helpful option to set a default brush size for new brushes. Now when you select that particular brush, no matter your prior brush size settings, it will reset the brush size back to the default value you’ve chosen. Without this, you will not have a default size saved for your new brush.Īfter the brush is saved, it will appear as a new brush at the bottom of the Brush Preset Panel. The most important part here is that you check off the “Capture Brush Size in Preset” option. That’s why after you adjust the size of the brush, you need to create a new brush preset.Ĭlicking on the hamburger menu and going to “New Brush Preset,” you can save your current settings as a new brush to use later on.Ī new dialogue box will appear, allowing you to rename your new brush if you wish. Once you make any adjustments to the brush in the brush settings panel, they’ll be applied to your active brush, but they won’t be saved. The settings shown in your brush panel will vary depending on the brush you have selected. If that’s the case, go up to Window > Brush Settings to reveal the panel. Now, using black or a dark color, make your signature.Depending on your workspace, the Brush Settings Panel may not be in your toolbar. Everything that is white will remain an “empty” area when it comes to the brush – a gap or a hole, if you will. When you make a brush, ALWAYS make sure it has a white background.

Remember, you can always scale the size of the brush DOWN much better than you can scale it UP.

2500X2500 pixels is the largest brush that you can possibly make. A lot of us are working on pretty large scales, now-a-days, and you want it large enough to be able to work on anything.

When you’re making a signature brush, make sure you make it large enough to accommodate your needs. Make it 72 pixels/inch, or whatever it starts on. Open a new file within Photoshop (File > New.), and make it approx 500 X 500 pixels. First, let’s create a simple signature brush. Creating your own custom Photoshop brushes is easier than you might think.
