How to apply brushes without photoshop?

Question by Season Rain: How to apply brushes without photoshop?
The problem I’m having is, I want to apply brushes to my images but brushes mostly work with Adobe photoshops only. I don’t want 2 purchase the photoshop since I already have Photoscape and CorelDRAW graphic suitX4. Can anybody teach me how I can apply brushes using the programs I have coz I’m a beginner and it seems like adobe photoshop is the only choice? You can also provide me information about free programs(not trial) too that can use brushes. I appreciate your help!

Answer by 1_4u_2nv
I cant help you with the programs you have but the best program to have for what you want to do is corel painter x (10)..I got a copy from ebay for around $ 40…it has endless brushes and you can create your own brush variants..

How do I find the Adobe CS4 Trial Version?

Question by Amanda H: How do I find the Adobe CS4 Trial Version?
I have looked all over the Adobe website, and since their launch of CS5, I have not been able to find the CS4 download for the trial version. Any help? I REALLY need to trial version!

Best answer:

Answer by Kevin Siegel
Because of CS5’s imminent release (on April 30th, click here to be notified of its release: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=product_notify ), you can no longer search Adobe’s site to dl the CS4 trial. What you can do, however, is use the old link to the trial. You didn’t specify which product you were looking for so the link below is for PhotoShop. If you want a different product, delete where the link says photoshop and sub in what product you want, ie “indesign” or “illustrator.”

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en&product=photoshop

You will need to sign in with or create an Adobe account to download the trial.

Question by ladeedah: What would be the best computer for Photoshop CS4?
Hi there, computer whizzes!

Okay, I have to buy a computer that can smoothly run Photoshop CS4 and my Wacom Tablet. That’s about it.

Can you tell me what would be the best laptop and/or the best desktop for my needs? I’ve heard MacBook Pro, but is there are there cheaper, nearly as good alternatives? My budget is about 1200.

Thanks for reading

Answer by Steven
Best computer would be HP Pavillion, could take in more space than those other computers such as the Mac and the older PCs

Question by b.c.: How do you angle your brush in photoshop?
Im using this as a reference because i have always wondered if you can change the angle of a brush. Im sure this person who used this picture used a brush .. if not he just free transformed the select things on the wall. Is there anyway in fact to change the depth and such like this kid did?

Click on the Rotation button it’s right next to Thickness button.
And yes their are a lot of different plug ins to use to do photo editing stuff just like that photo you showed. In paint shop 12 go under Adjust and go down to where it says add depth to field . I hope this helps you

How do I add new Textures in Photoshop CS4?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by Baba: How do I add new Textures in Photoshop CS4?
I’m having problems with my Photoshop CS4. I downloaded a bunch of textures to my computer (zip, rar files) and now I have no idea what to actually do with them. I need help adding them. And another question – can I make them bigger somehow? Or will they just stay as small as I downloaded them? And guides – please as simple as you can, I’m a rookie! 🙂 Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by RiverCityGraphix
Textures are very similar to brushes in the way that they are imported to Photoshop. I have created a tutorial on how to import brushes here: http://www.rivercitygraphix.com/usingbrushes.html

If you follow the tutorial, put the textures into the Textures folder instead of the Brushes one. If you found this helpful please check out my other tutorials at the links provided.

Answer by Mujer Alta
Sounds like you might be in Quick Mask Mode. Press the letter q on the keyboard to toggle out of it.

Make sure you’re using the Brush Tool and not a selection brush.
