Hi Gang,

While waiting for new free Phooshop brush let’s just remind ourselves about 6 most important keyboard shortcuts for brushes in Photoshop and these would be:

1. 1. “B” to select Brush tool on the main Toolbar
2. 2. “F5″ to bring up Brushes Palette
3. 3. “[” to decrease the Brush size
4. 4. “]” to increase the Brush size
5. 5. “,” to move to the previous brush in Brushes palette
6. 6. “.” to move to the next brush in Bushes palette

For next time we are preparing a cool video tutorial about saving Photoshop brushes settings where we’re also giving some more useful hints and tips so - stay tuned and have fun creating!

Tadaaaa! A new brush set is born!

Had some issues on naming it… that was difficult. I knew I wanted the name to contain the word “light” but what light? Sparkling light? Dancing light … not bad but … not exactly what I was looking for.

And then it occurred to me: Lightworks! Sounds familiar, as if I heard that word somewhere … but it doesn’t matter. Now the name of the newborn brush is: Lightworks!

Here is one sample on what can be done with it:

• You can preview here LITE Lightworks PS brushes set and DOWNLOAD it right here (subscription-free next 5 days, as usually - over!)
• Or you can get the real thing, THE ULTIMATE Lightworks brushes set - 61 brushes! Yes! Sixty-one high quality (up to 2000px) Lightworks brushes for just $9.99
• And here is a little tutorial which will show you how to use them

PS: here’s another “Lightworks” graphic sample!

One swirl meets an Artist in a bar: “Hi, my name is Swirl, Outlined Swirl.”

“Ooooh, you must be a new Swirl in town. Nice to meet you. I’m an Artist. Photoshop 7.0 Artist. Are we compatible?”

“But, of course. I’m compatible with you and all of your younger friends there, all the way to Photoshop CS3 Artist.” Swirl gives a brief look to the barmen “Martini, shaken, not stirred.”

This was the beginning of the beautiful friendship. Photoshop 7.0 invited all his younger friends and not just them, by the end of the night Paint Shop Pro Artist was there, Gimp artist and several scrapbooking enthusiasts were there – having a blast together, creating marvelous graphics, images and illustrations of all kinds. And they all lived together happily ever after.

Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentleman, tonight I proudly present you - Swirls, Outlined Swirls set! May you use it for your most prestigious works of art, your graphics, your illustrations, scrapbooks and all kinds of designs. You can even print them out as a wallpaper for your living room (that’s actually my plan, but for kitchen wall).

As usual, there is a free, LITE 4 brushes version for you to try it out (5 days subscription-free download - over!) and of-course, the full PREMIUM version, set of 23 brushes.

Enjoy! Have fun creating!
