The brush is one of the most famous and commonly used tools in a graphics editor. Photoshop lets you not only work with existing brushes, but also create new ones. You can save a modified old brush or image as a new brush.

Instructions
Step 1
When working with graphic design details, it is often necessary to use brushes with a clear set of settings, such as shape, diameter, hardness, and dynamics. To avoid having to tweak the tool every time, you can save the brush with the desired settings as a new one. To do this, click on the Brush Tip Shape tab of the Brushes palette and select one of the existing brushes.
Step 2
On the same tab, set up the brush parameters that you need for your work: brush diameter, hardness, tilt angle and spacing between prints.
Step 3
If you need a brush with a changing shape, go to the Shape Dynamics tab and adjust the amount of possible change in the size of the prints, the change in the angle of the brush and the minimum diameter of the print. The result of changing all these settings can be observed in the preview window, which is located at the bottom of the palette.
Step 4
Save the brush after you finish customizing the tool. Do it with the Create a new brush button, which can be found at the bottom of the brushes palette. Write the name of the brush you want to save and click on the OK button.
Step 5
Another way to create a new brush is to save an arbitrary image as a tool. Open the picture from which you are going to make a brush in a graphics editor and remove unnecessary details from the image by erasing them using the Eraser Tool. If it is a solid background, select it with the Magic Wand Tool and delete it by pressing the Delete key.
Step 6
To get a clearer print, adjust the contrast of the image by opening the filter window with the Brightness / Contrast option from the Adjustments group of the Image menu. You can change the sharpness of the picture using the filters from the Sharpen group of the Filter menu.
Step 7
Save the new brush with the Define Brush Preset option from the Edit menu. Enter the name of the new brush in the window that opens and click on the OK button. The saved brush will be the very last in the list, which you can see on the Brush Tip Shape tab of the brushes palette.
