Rotate Burshes
This tutorial will show you a quick step to change the angle of a brush using the Brushes palette quickly and easily. A quick tip that can definitely help out with photo manipulation or even in web design is the brush rotate option. A basic beginners step in to anyone beginning photoshop or even advanced users who have yet to discover this useful feature. Step one: I started off by opening up a new photo in to a new pallet.
Step two: I selected my bursh and then choise the bursh I would be using. This set is called SS Grunge Scratches.
Step three: You can see that the bursh has a preset angle. Here I added a bursh strock across the top of the image.
Step four: To open up your bursh options hit F5 or go to Window>Burshes tab at the top. Once you have the Brush options up click on the Bursh Tip Shape bar.
Step five: You will see the circle to the right. The Brush Direction Wheel will help to change the bursh angle. You can click and drag the arrows to rotate the brush in any direction you need.
Now you have a great new option to add borders, textures or to create new bursh patterns.
