Thank u. I’ve been struggling to find a cloud brush. Now I have one 🤙

This is amazing!

Everybody listen up.
This is an amazing solution to the so-called layer mode problem.
Image you wanna create a rasterized lighting effect to use OUTSIDE of photoshop, in for example a 2D game.

Let's say, a starburst with a lens flare for some kind of magical effect. Now, in photoshop this is easy. You create your elements and you use the layer mode "screen" or "lighter" to make everything darker than white transparent, with black being completely invisible and all other values more and more opaque as you get closer to white. Nothing to it.

But if you get into a compositing environment where you don't have these layer modes, you're in trouble.
The lens flare filter doesn't work at all without a completely opaque color to apply it to, and your starburst will not retain the screen/lighter transparency properties, which means you're gonna get ugly dark outlines, which you will attempt to erase out by hand with varying craptastic results.

Creating a brush out of your starburst and lensflare will totally solve your problem because a brush stamp can be applied to a transparent background! So, stamp out your starburst and your lensflare brushes on a transparent background, save as a PNG, and then import it into whatever layer mode-free environment you're using. (I'm working on a sprite based 2D game atm, where I need these kind of effects for magic spells etc.

Looks like a great tutorial but I can't find the link on here to the cloud image. I realize this tutorial is 2 years old so maybe it was removed? Sorry if I'm missing it

If a car is driving in an off-roading area, like dust from sand kick up, is there a way to mimic more cloud from the dirt kick up like this? If so would it be possible for you to make a tutorial? please? Thank you Subbed

Jesùs -- How did you determine the size for the new document? Had you pre-chosen 275x290 Pixels, or did Ps automatically determine that size, given the size of your copied selection?

If I am using CC and create a brush will it be recognized from another computer at my Studio, both are setup with CC account

[pallasade]

[StacyMcCabe]
