using Brushes for Collages

[Emma]

Some answers to making collages with brushes, started from another thread and moved here. Lots to discover here, and deserves its own thread!

This tutorial on PS brushes
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/ps_brushesbeginner.shtml
and the PS Brush Palette
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/ps_brushpalette_ep.shtml

is very helpful introducing brushes and their functions.

Hi, Chandi: I fixed all the links. They're old, and there have been several housecleaning efforts in the University since I posted this thread last May.

They're also all in the University>Tutorials section above, under Paint Shop Pro heading.

Hope you enjoy! I'll be teaching this method in April in my PSP 130 Intro to Digi Scrapping with PSP. Lesson 3 is all about montages, lots of good info in there.
Here's the syllabus:
