@sasha: There’s only one thing I’ve ever seen that has made it gray out like that. Make sure your image size is 2500 pixels (in height or width) or less… you can’t make brushes any larger than 2500 pixels. If that doesn’t fix the problem, let me know!

Thank you so much for the tutorial and all your fabulous brushes. Bless you for sharing so much of your knowledge and talent.

I have CS4 but when I click on EDIT, the “Define Brush Preset” is grayed out (not selectable). Only Define Pattern is black and selectable. Do you have any ideas as to how I can save my signature. I just did a quick monogram like the “SS” you made, nothing complicated and nothing else on the sheet. Help please?

I don’t know about anyone else but after many “define brush preset” coming grayed out, I went ahead and tried to lower the resolution of the image and after a few attempts beginning with resolution as high as 3264 pixels it finally came up and I saved my personal initials as a logo to 2500 pixels
Thanks. Stephanie you’re the best.

how do you create a brush with a shadow? like when you paint with it, it will contain a backdrop or shadow if you will.

thanks..:) great tutorial..:)

@Mandy: Thanks, Mandy. I’ve got it mentioning that you need to make sure you don’t have unsaved brushes currently loaded, but perhaps I should clarify that even further by adding it in as an actual step to save them or whatever first.

Hello,

Thank you for all these wonderful creations. I have discovered for this tutorial, it is best to Save the Brushes for a new Brush set name, then delete the extras out of your new Brush Set, to save your new brush when first creating them. I tried doing it as your Tutorial says in Photoshop Elements 7 and lost brushes. I got them back but it required reinstall of program!

Thank you for the tutorial! I have PSE and was able to kinda tweak the tutorial a bit and figure out how to make my own brush :) I love your brushes, by the way!!

@Keysia: This tutorial was made for regular Photoshop. I’m afraid I don’t know the intricacies of Photoshop Elements, and haven’t owned a copy in years. So I can’t really tell you, I’m sorry! But unless you specifically told it to save over the old version, erasing them, they should still be there.

I know there’s places online that you can go to replentish “lost” brushes like this, too, though. Google it if you need to, and I’m sure you can find them. :)

This tutorial probably won’t be quite right for you in Elements, but it should be ABLE to be done.. and it should be very similar. I’m just not sure how to explain how, sorry. Good luck!

oops! I guess I am the only one who had trouble with this. When I got to step 8, I selected the Thick Heavy Brush set that was pre-existing. And seem to have removed the bruses in this set. How do I get them back?

Step 9-My version of elements did not have the “save as” in the load brush area.
