since we got to work with the brush tool on the digital painting assignment i thought id teach a way to create your own personal  brush tool!
1.) open up a New file, and a box will come up with your settings.  Change the preset to custom, and the width and the height to whatever you like. set the resolution to 300, and the color mode to greyscale. and click ok.
2.)Go up to the top and click on Iamge/ adjustments/ levels.
3.) next a box will pop up and you will fill in all the adjustments to your liking. mine happen to be 58, 1.00, and 234.
4.)Go back up to Image/ adjustments/ levels.
5.) set your settings as you please, by simply grabbing the curve you'd like to change. my output is 76 and my input is 69.

6.) go back up to Image/adjustments/eposure.

7.) set the preset to custom and sent as you wold like, my particular numbers are plus 95 and. 89.
