How to Make Brush in Photoshop CS4
Sponsored LinksIn this Photoshop tutorial, I will write about how to make your own brush using Photoshop CS4. The step are simple and actually this is similar when you are using older version of Photoshop.
Before we continue on the steps of it, if you planning to share the brushes you created, I am recommend that you are using older Photoshop version to make shareable brush. Because if the brush is made in newer Photoshop version, they won’t be compatible in older one. I used to make brush, and for that I used Photoshop 7.0 to make sure my brushes will compatible in newer Photoshop version.
How to make your own brush in Photoshop CS4
Make a blank document with white background. The size of this new document is up to you.
You can also open any of your image file to use as brush. But you will need to make that image into Black and White. The simple way to do this is by select Image > Adjustment > Desaturate. Make sure your image is very high contrast.
The more black of your image color, the more dense your brush will be. White color will be transparent in your brush.
For example of this brush tutorial, I am using custom shape tool to make image, and make the shape image to black.

@sasha: Try to flatten all the layer (Layer > Flatten Image) before select Define brush preset. Or, select the Background layer (don’t active in a shape layer). Hope these solve your problem.
