Great tutorial
Thank you!
Hello I have been attempting to follow along on the “How To Create a Smoke/Fog Brush In Photoshop. When I paste the image into the new document I have to select the size and background color. So I select letter size and transparent background. I am using Photoshop 2017. Maybe there are better tutorials for a beginner. I have not used Photoshop since 2000. I am wanting to create clouds and like the way your brush comes out in your tutorial. Even though I can read all the directions are not on the screen. I googled Control Command and I believe that is Control + E. I lose you at this point. Do you have written instructions? Thank you.
Very easy information to process and follow thanks for great tutorials
