This document provides instructions for creating custom brushes in Photoshop: 1. Open an image in Photoshop and use the magic wand tool to select the image area. Press backspace to clear the background. 2. Create a new layer and desaturate the image to make it grayscale. Adjust the brightness/contrast as needed. 3. Define the brush preset from the image using the "Define Brush Preset" option. 4. The custom brush can now be used with the brush tool on new images and projects in Photoshop.
