Sounds like a cool brush. I’d be interested to know how to build it too. And is it possible in version 7?
Can anyone hook us up with any sites with tutorials for building these kinds of brushes? I’m more familiar with Painter’s brush building, and have never really explored PhotoShop’s.
Thanks,

This is from the CS Help files – I would imagine it is much the same in PS7
Create a custom brush from an image or portion of an image.
You can create a new brush tip based on a selection in an image. Photoshop adds the tip to the Brushes palette.
a.. In the Layers palette, select the layer containing the image you want to use for your brush.
b.. Using a selection tool, select the area of the image that you want to use as a brush tip.
c.. Choose Edit > Define Brush Preset.
d.. In the Brush Name dialog box, type a name for the brush, and then click OK. Photoshop adds the new brush preset to the Brushes palette, using the selection for the brush tip.
