how to change the look of brushes? Options

[whoahitznikki]

i tried to change the size, shape, etc. of an eyelash brush to match the person's eye but idk how to do it.. everywhere i go the people say they used the warp tool but i don't know where that is... can someone please help me??

if you're using photoshop, all you have to do is click on the brush icon. at the top you should see the brush icon with a small arrow right next to it. all you have to do is change the size smaller. if you want it to be bigger though, it will make the brush blurry. hope that helps.

If you're trying to get some eyelash effect, you could just use the shortcut and find some of them on deviantart that are already made into brushes. :) Here is one brush set for the eyelashes. If you're able to use the pen tool and you're pretty comfortable with it, you can use this tutorial for creating thicker eyelashes, but I'm sure that if you mess around, you can learn how to actually create more eyelashes. Here's another tutorial, but I'm not sure if it looks pretty realistic. Maybe if you play around with more swatches, you can get a better look. :)

TY. You are awesome.

But whoahitznikki - you can only use the warp tool if you have Photoshop CS2 or CS3. If you do have either one of those Photoshop versions, then you can find it at Edit > Transform.. > Warp. I think.

yes i do have photoshop cs2. but i was looking in a youtube video and the person took an eyelash brush and not only changed the pixel size, but made it so that the brush curved to the eyes in the picture. like, a perfect fit. i'd post the video but i can't find it :(

does that make sense???

thanks for the help so far though. if i need to, i'll just be adding the eyelashes manually with the pen tool.

go to "edit" and click free transform, on the layer of the eyelashes. the layer should only have one eyelash brush/thing or else it would not work.

you can scale it down by dragging the corners of the box that appears. to warp it to match the person's eye shape, simply right click and select warp. the box should now have grids, just drag them around until your satisfied. :]

thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! :)
that helped me a ton!!
