Changing the colour of a default smoke brush

[SHarrison]

Hi All,

Im new to this forum, and i have recently downloaded so really cool Smoke brush effects but everytime i come to use them it only gives me a default colour of Gray :(

Can someone tell me how i can change the colour of the brushes....

Again sorry for something so simple to the experts :(

Thanks

you should be able to just click any colour I use smoke brushes all the time no problem
check your image settings is not set to grey scale
image>mode>RGB colour hopefully

yep

open up this image
go to select>all
then go to Edit > define brush preset it will ask you to name it then go to your brush selection window will be the last brush on there

that is instructions to create your own brush using an image you provided if you had not worked it out yet lol

I dont think we have failed answering any questions yet and I know if I personally dont know something I will keep trying until I do know it to pass it on I like a challenge

i think i have another tutorial i recently used myself for smoke brushes (the answer might already been given but this looks very helpful.)

Sounds good reason i asked about how to change the colour of smoke effects and anything else really, is because im creating a website and i want the smoke effect to come in from one side, but again its just trying to find that ideal brush to make what i think a reality.

**Update**

Is there a way of change how a brush looks, for example change the way the smoke is going without changing the hole brush if that makes sense?
