Brushes, Gradients, Symbols...

Hello all!

Illustrator first -

Try the Gradients, Brushes and Symbol sprayer - Always make sure you have a path selected in order to do this, or you are creating a new one with the pen tool or brush tool.  If you want to make a new brush:

- Make a path or some kind of artwork that you would want to save as a brush.                                              - Select and OBJECT - GROUP with selection tool.
    - Drag and drop into Brushes palette
     - Select Brush Type (art)
      - Name it and select your Options.
                                   
Photoshop - 

Let's see how Photoshop does with gradients and brushes!

Downloading/New brushes:
 - Avoid Large File Sizes!!!
       - The larger, or more pixels a brush set has, the longer it will take Photoshop to process and can even               overload or "freeze" the program.

Be very, very careful what you click on!!!  We'll talk in class, but proceed with caution.

Once you've downloaded or have new brushes:
 - Select Brush Tool
 - Bring up Brush Tool Picker
 - Select Palette Menu and Select Load Brushes.
 - The new Brushes should now be in the Brush Picker Palette.

To select or edit brushes:
- Go to Edit -- Presets -- Preset Manager
- Save or Delete, Options
