I spent most of my time yesterday playing with brushes in CS3. Photoshop brushes are essentially tools that can be used in the brush palette of adobe photoshop. Each photoshop brush has a specific design or an effect. I enjoy playing around with the brushes to add graffitti to a bland wall or creating wings on a model.
With a bit of minor tweaking, I can create some really fun effects. One of the biggest attractions of using photoshop brushes is the fact they allow me to get over the problem of not being able to draw well. I am able to add some nice touches with photoshop brushes. And there are tons of free brushes on the web.
How to Load Brushes
1. Download the zip file to any folder on your local disk
2. Unzip the .abr file and copy it to Program files > Adobe > Photoshop > Presets > Brushes
3. After they’re downloaded, select brush tool from the main toolbar in Photoshop and open Brushes Window (or just press F5 to get the brushes window)
4. Click the arrow in the upper right corner to navigate through the Brushes Window
5. Now select “Load Brushes …” in order to activate the downloaded ones.
6. Select the brush and click on “Load”.
7. New Brushes will show up in "Brushes Window“
8. Select the Brush colour and play with the parameters.
9. Once you decide on which brush you are going to use, click on the a new layer to add it. Having it on its own layer makes it so much easier to tweak the brush as needed.

I had a shoot with Ruth Chang Thao on Sunday. She needed head shots and hopefully I was able to provide her with what she needed. She was great to work with.
If you would like to see more shots of Ruth please check out my flickr page @http://www.flickr.com/photos/debra_pictures/sets/72157622132075578/
