How to Make a Custom Brush in Photoshop CC 2015

Photoshop is an amazing tool, and you can use it to completely transform your images. The only problem is you need to know how to use it. There are many thing you can't do without a custom-made brush. To make one, start with step one, below.

EditSteps

1. Open Photoshop.
   
2. Go to File > New or press in Windows or press in Mac, on the keyboard.
   
3. Set document type to custom and the width to 500 pixels and height to 500 pixels as well. A brush can be very big, but it can be made smaller later; in that way it won't loose any detail. The background contents should be white and color profile to sRGB. A name can be given if required. Hit OK.
   
4. Create the custom brush. It can be designed for making stars, making latte art, making hairs, adding mustaches etc. This example will show stars. Now the custom brush can be made by using the brush tool, or any other tool present in Photoshop. Make sure that the brush is black and the background is white.
   
5. Once you have created it, go to Edit > Define Brush Preset...
   
6. Enter the name of the brush and hit OK.
   
   • Normally you won't see any change, but the brush has been created.
7. Select the Brush Tool on the left side or hit on the keyboard (shortcut). The brush should show up. If it does not then right click on the page/canvas. A box with lot of brushes will come, scroll down at the bottom and at last place will be the brush. Hover over it the name will be shown.
   
8. Adjust if desired. You can make the custom brush even more custom by going to Brush Presets Window > Brush.
   
9. Use your brush! This technique will allow you to create flames of fire, sparkles, etc.
