They are made to be usable so that whichever color the user has selected is what they're painting with. That's the beauty of Photoshop brushes, really. Otherwise, you may as well just save it as a transparent PNG (which I also have some of available, for this very purpose - to have things in color!) This tutorial is not to help you save a brush in multiple colors, it's to help you make the brushes (since they can't be saved as colors) look more realistic. Hope this helps. :) @Frosty: You CANNOT save brushes in color. They are made to be usable so that whichever color the user has selected is what they’re painting with.

Because I keep doing that, and then when i try to use it, the brush is back to being black and white...=/ Am I doing something wrong?

Truthfully, though, those kinds of things are better off with actual images used, rather than brushes.. unless you've gotten pretty decent at hand painting stuff in, brushes just aren't usually the way to go when you want a "realistic" look to something that's transparent like that (like real images). Somethings brushes work GREAT for, but others they just don't. However, that tutorial is the best way I've found to work around it, if that's all you have to work with. Enjoy. :) @ildiko: Check out my other tutorial on “Removing Transparency from Brushes” – that’s what you want.

Adobe Photoshop 2.0 is NOT compatible with these, as it came out... LONG, LONG ago. Sorry! You can still download the image pack and make them into brushes that are compatible, but I have no idea how to make brushes in a Photoshop that old, sorry! @terry: Oh, if it’s not Adobe ELEMENTS 2.0, then you can’t use them.

I know you CAN do all the stuff this mentions in Elements, but it's done differently. I'm afraid I don't have a version of Elements to help you figure it out, but you SHOULD be able to do a search for some step that you can't figure out. Like, when it comes to something like the color overlay, just do a Google search for "color overlay photoshop elements" or somesuch, and you should be able to find out how to do each step that way. I'm quite sure you won't find a tutorial like this anywhere else, though, so you'll probably have to do that translating if you want to get it to work. Good luck, and sorry I couldn't help more! @Confused: Yeah, this tutorial is for regular photoshop… I know you CAN do all the stuff this mentions in Elements, but it’s done differently.
