Photoshop Brush Sets |
|
A Photoshop brush is a tool used for painting in Adobe Photoshop. The Brush tool works like a traditional drawing tool by
applying color with brush strokes. The brush stroke changes depending on the shape of the brush. A brush is basically
a saved brush tip with defined characteristics, such as shape, size and hardness. The TTD Brushes are based on the TTD Fonts and
the different brushes in the brush sets thus have the same preset shape as the corresponding font symbol. However, when using a brush in Photoshop, you can temporarily change the
characteristics of it, such as color, size, hardness and other various dynamics.
You can find more information about Photoshop brushes at

Please observe, brushes from TTD are created in Photoshop CS2 and thus work in CS2 and newer versions of Photoshop.
While a brush set basically is limited to Photoshop, fonts (our fonts) are definitely more versatile since you install them
in the font folder on your computer and from there use them in the applications (computer programs) you have, for example
Word, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etcera, etcetera. And since font symbols (glyphs or characters) can be scaled
without loss of quality, they stay sharp also at large sizes (at very small sizes - smaller than for example 6p - a loss of
quality may occur). When it comes to a Photoshop brush, depending on the shape of it (particularly if it has thin lines and
sharp edges), the quality is sometimes not as excellent as it would be for a font symbol. A brush is basically a painting tool.
