Create a custom brush shape from an image
You can create a custom brush by selecting an area in a photo. The brush uses a grayscale version of that selection to
apply the foreground color to your image. For example, you could select a leaf and then paint using a fall color. You can
also draw a new brush shape using the Brush tool. You can create a custom brush shape either from an entire layer or
from a selection. A custom brush shape can be up to 2500 pixels by 2500 pixels in size.
