[ Photoshop ] Coloring a brush

rares

Hi guys ! i've made a dust brush for photoshop from a garyscale texture a while back, but now i want to modify it to paint colors ( instead of a grayscale texture to use a colorized texture ) but i cant find any way to do it :poly122: cany anyone help ?

Um, if its a brush, all you have to do is set it as your brush and select a color???

Colored brushes? Stop, you're scaring the adobe engineers!!
(nothing but foreground, foreground + background jitter, random jitter)

If you have some brush settings (including the color) that you'd like to save, select the brush tool and color you want and then open the dropdown menu on the brush toolbar that's next to the one you can specify the brush size with. It should have some brush presets in it. There should be a button in there that looks just like the new layer button. Click it and whatever settings you're currently using should be saved.

EDIT: Oh, duh. I misread the question. Well, whatever. It's still fairly useful info.

You mean i can use colors with my brushes oh noez !!!111one
As i stated the initial texture was a grayscale with some patterns that were good for a brush, so i made a brush from it just like that, an deleted the source image.....but recently i've found a texture which has some great colors that would work with the brush, so what i want is to use the pattern that my bursh has allready but instead of it painting a single color i want it to use the colors (as in more than one color) of a texture

edit : upon reading my own text i realised that that's what the pattern stamp tool does...:|

Yeah, I see what you're asking now. You can't have brushes that have multiple colors in them (well, you can, but not how you are asking) you want to use you're picture like a brush, which a brush won't do. Either Clone the areas, use that pattern stamp tool or just copy paste that image in and delete what you want. Experiment with different layer settings too, see what you come up with. I think texture painting is half skill and half experimenting
