How to make Mask Brushes for large graphics

This tutorial will teach you how to:
+ make an image into a brush in Photoshop
+ and how to use the "feather" option
...among other things.

This tutorial is dedicated to photoholic62 who taught me the first thing I learned about Photoshop. :)

I was going to try and duplicate one of the mask brushes I posted recently, but decided instead to just start from scratch to write this tutorial on how I make my mask brushes. We are going to make the Mask Brush below.

Click on the thumbnail to see the actual size of the mask


I apologize to you veteran Photoshop users. This tutorial is very detailed so that people who are new to using Photoshop will be able to follow it. And I am Ms. Wordy McWord evidently. :)

( It's long but all images are under links to save those of you with dial up )

If there are any questions or something that is not clear please ask in a comment. And please let me know if this tutorial was helpful.

Thanks for stopping by. :)
