Elliptical & Rectangular Brushes

Is there an easy way to create or find plugins for both elliptical &/or rectangular brushes?

Photoshop 6 & 7 had elliptical brushes which could be adjusted for size, aspect ratio &/or angle but they left them out in CS. I've already tried to follow the "Help" instructions for creating custom brushes but they are so "frickin" vague that I gave up in frustration.

Also, although I've never seen it anywhere, I would like to be able to create custom sized &/or aspect ratio rectangular (not square) brushes as well.

Your help will much appreciated. Best Regards, Dick

I'm not sure about CS, I have 7 open right now, but if you open your Brushes Palette and click on Brush Tip Shape, you should be able to make the necessary adjustments, at least for elliptical brushes. For rectangular brushes, you might just want to define one. Just make a square or rectangle and fill it with black and go to Edit > Define Brush. Name it accordingly and it will show up at the bottom of your Brush menu.
