OK, first, to avoid "pixilating", just don't use any pixie dust.
To avoid pixelating, don't scale the image.
This particular image is extraordinarily easy to isolate with a single click using the Magic Wand.

Help with brushes palette

I want to be able to edit a preset brush, but I can't edit things like "spacing" and "fade" because they're simply not there. All I've got is the checkboxes beneath "brush tip shape", a list of brush presets, "master diameter" and a preview of the brush. Why don't I have options there that I have seen from screenshots in tutorials? How can I access them?

Aah. I've found it now. Thank you very much

Help with Brushes

I cannot figure out what is going on with my brushes. It is placing the stamp randomly on the page. I have no control over where the image is placed on the page. It has not always been like this.
Thank you for your help.

Is it all brushes or a specific set?
Some brush sets have dynamics built into them that do exactly what you say...scatter brush strokes randomly around the page.

Help With ACR Presets

Hi! I am trying to use some new ACR presets I purchased. These are the first presets I've ever used. I am working on a new Macbook Pro, and have loaded the .xmp files to library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings. They are now showing up in ACR, but when I try to use them, I get this message "Unable to load the raw conversion settings. The raw conversion settings file is invalid." Any help??

I bought them from LilyBlue. I thought it would save a ton of time from having to open in Photoshop. I have CS5. Here's the specifications from the purchase.
WHAT VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP DO I NEED FOR LILYBLUE ACTIONS? FOR LILYBLUE RAW PRESETS?
most lilyblue actions have been developed for cs and above. lilyblue raw presets have been developed for acr (adobe camera raw) and adobe lightroom. both versions are included in your purchase. they work on both pc and mac.

Saving brush presets

Sorry if this is a pretty low-level question but… I need help with brush presets in Photoshop CC.
When I switch between brushes, the brush properties (Shape Dynamics/Transfer etc) of the currently selected brush seem to apply themselves to the next brush I select, even when it has not been saved with those presets. So for example when I am working with a custom, soft brush I created – with no 'shape dynamics' but with 'transfer' applied – when I then switch to another saved brush which has been saved with 'shape dynamics' applied but no 'transfer' applied, it doesn't seem to change the properties. It just applies to the next brush the 'transfer' and 'no shape dynamics' presets of the previous brush. I don't think I encountered this problem when using Photoshop CS4 which I worked with previously.
I would imagine it is something simple, but can someone explain what I need to do so that when I switch between brushes they default back to the presets I applied when I saved them?
Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for your response, but in so far as I can see, this video doesn't solve the problem. Someone has actually asked the same question as I in the comments under the video. I tried saving a the brushes as a new preset as shown in the video but it still doesn't switch all the applied settings (shape dynamics, scattering or whatever): when you switch brushes – it seems to apply the setting globally to any brush you select. Very frustrating! Thanks though.

Need help with creating a brush

Hi guys,
I wanted to ask for help with creating a brush (even a link to a tutorial will be goon enough ).
I got this sample:
I've created a brush from it, and i'm trying to get this kind of result:
but it's only duplicates it and gives me this result:
Can someone help me please understand what i need to define in order to make the brush behave like a continues brush instead of duplicate it?
Thank you very much
shlomit

what you need to do is make a brush that looks like the tip of a brush. photoshop has several already but you can make your own that will be better.
get a paintbrush and paint a spot kind of like what you did but dont paint a stroke. make it look kindof grungy. then make your brush from that, making sure to desaturate it and everything.
EDIT:
oh, and if you bring the fill down to like 10-20% your stroke will look better

Which tool in Camera Raw, exactly? The Spot Removal Tool? Adjustment Brush?

Problems with brushes showing in Brush Preset fly-out window - CS6

I've loaded a set of brushes I created into CS6. They show up fine in the menu bar brush window, in the Preset Manager, in the Brush Preset palette above my layers palette, but they will not appear in the brush preset fly-out window. This is where I do all the manipulating of my brushes, of course, so this is essential. I have created many, many brushes and done this many, many times and have never had this problem. Any thoughts on what's going on? PS CS6 on a Mac.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Have a problem with a brush preset picker in CS5

Have a problem with a brush preset picker. By right click over your document (if you using brush or cloning tool) it’s open, so you choose a brush and size. But in new version, if your option bar is in different monitor (I am using two monitors one has my working area – document, other one tools), its open only in that monitor, where is a option bar. Supposed to open over your working area like it was in CS4. Seems to me, it’s not recognizing second monitor.

My graphic setting is OK, my CS4 is working fine. I thing it's a bug in new version.
Yes I have extended desktop mode.

I can't adjust my Brush Presets in Photoshop CC when using a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet.

Hi.... I hope someone out there can help me with this. I'm using Photoshop CC with an Wacom Intros 2 Tablet. I want my Brush Tool preset to be "Soft Round" so I can create smooth consistently shaped lines when clicking & dragging along the straight edge of a selection.
When I attempt to do this in the Brush Presets Panel it seems to be locked on "Shape Dynamics" with Pen Pressure control. Whenever I switch both of these off & try to create a different brush preset it will automatically jump back in to the same settings, even after locking the Brush Preset & creating a new Brush. What I end up with when clicking & dragging is a fine point at one end of the line & a soft round brush effect at the other end. Very frustrating! I don't have this problem when using a Mouse, and a friend who is using Photoshop CS5 with an Intros 2 tablet is not having this issue either. Is this just another one of the few glitches I've noticed with Photoshop CC? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.
Craig

You mean this?
Save it as a calligraphy brush.

Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?

Hello all,
Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4? I created custom brush presets on my laptop and I would like to export them and import them onto my desktop if at all possible. Did a bit of research online and could only find this link which only applies to 'Presets' in general, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS2A36C507-E076-4b14-AAC3-87852595D175.html. Please let me know if this is possible or not as this would be a great time saver.
Thank you!

Brush Presets are stored in the "Local Adjustment Presets" sub-folder within the Lightroom settings folder structure. The location of the latter varies by Operating System, or if you have "Store Presets with Catalog" checked in your Lightroom Preferences (Presets Tab)....easiest way to locate them is go to that Presets Tab on the Preferences dialog and click on "Show Lightroom Presets Folder"....that will open a Finder/Explorter window with the Lightroom folder showing. Open that folder, find the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder and copy the brush preset .lrtemplate files to your desktop. Repeat the process on the desktop to locate the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder, then simply copy the brush presets into it. They should then show up in Lightroom on the desktop (you may need to restart Lightroom first).

Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS6 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

Everytime I open photoshop the stroke thumbnail shows up with lost settings. I can hover my pen over brush presets and press ctrl+F1 and it will change back but when i open up photoshop cs6 it does not show what the brush setting are with the stroke thumnail and I have to do it again. I know how to correct it temporarily but I would like a permanent fix for this as it is quite annoying. I have tried to open it with just my pen from my tablet and it does not help. I am running windows 7. cintiq tablet.

Hey JJMack!
Thank you for your response! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my issue. I actually think I may be running into a bug with PS6. It seems like the stroke thumbnail preview might not be receiving the information that there is pressure sensitivity turn on my cintiq.
Here is an example below..
As you can see here the brush I have selected obviously has pressure sensitivity and PS6 is recognizing that. But for some reason that information is not being communicated to the stroke thumbnail preview.
What's even weirder is when you go into that brush's presets the preview below shows the stroke thumbnail fine!
I am wondering if maybe I have some weird preference turned on hidden away somewhere... or if this is an actual bug with the program.
thanks guys!

Using brush presets in Flash...possible?

With the stree of "integration" with the
CS3 suite of products, is it possible to use brushes from photoshop
and import them somehow to be used in Flash?
Basically, I have some great brushes in photoshop that I
would like to use in Flash. How can this be accomplished? In the
Flash help file, searching for BRUSH, I read what I interpretted to
be that Flash CS3 could use brush presets. But I saw no way to
import them, nor anyplace to change the brush presets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pressure and tilt options for brush do not come up till you place your pen on the tablet and click on the stage.Once clicked they start appearing ,sometimes these options are hidden, you can resize your tools panel to see the options.And slow response is a known issue and we are tracking it.You can refer to this thread for more details :http://forums.adobe.com/message/5454376#5454376.
