There are differences between the brushes and their settings that make their results-albeit similar-noticeably different.Īccording to calisto-lynn, with her settings uploaded here, that in versions later than CS3, it will not work. I only learned about it after I hade discovered this technique and made this tutorial. So if anyone is wondering if maybe I got the idea from nebezial then the answer is no. I was told about nebezial 's Blender Brush by General-EbonRose after I had made this tutorial. OMG Thank you so much for the DD! It's my first one ever! Thank you~! I recommend you create this custom brush using the brush tool then save that as a new custom brush and then set your Smudge Tool to that brush preset. Note: It should be able to work on any version of Photoshop. It's an excellent skill to have but at the same time, the more ways you find you can do something, the more ways you can create different pieces of work.Įither way, I hope this is of use to you all. I would recommend not to use this all the time if you want to master blending in photoshop. ) Therefore I personally find it is helping me learn to blend in Photoshop via the aforementioned technique. (The most common way of painting in Photoshop. I always avoided the tool for blending but I find that with this custom brush and the Smudge Tool, not only is it easier for me to see the difference between two tones when blending, it also makes it easier for me to judge a nice blending job when doing it the other way of layering and colour picking.

There are creative ways to use this tool and it's in there for a reason.

I know what you're thinking, SMUDGE TOOL!? There might be many reasons why you would want a similar brush in photoshop, I for one wanted it because it's easier and Paint Tool SAI still doesn't like my computer. So a lot of people, including myself, freakin' love the Water Brush in Paint Tool SAI.
