  • 0:02 - 0:06
    in this video and I'll try to keep it
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    brief I'm going to give you an overview
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    of how to use the site and all its
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    resources like the brush browsers and
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    previews and I'll also go over where to
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    find all the free stuff like free
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    brushes and the free group brushes
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    plug-in panel for Photoshop CC which has
  • 0:17 - 0:25
    a great new features you may have missed
  • 0:18 - 0:27
    like saved sets the number one question
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    I get is how can I find the brush I need
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    amongst the hundreds of brushes well
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    depending on your preferences there are
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    several great ways to browse the brushes
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    from the resources page reach from the
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    menu you can download a PDF and JPEG
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    catalogs which show you sample
  • 0:38 - 0:43
    brushstrokes of all the brushes there is
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    also an online browser which shows them
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    an all in one page and you can hover to
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    magnify the brushstrokes these are
  • 0:47 - 0:52
    updated periodically throughout the year
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    but to get the most up-to-date and I
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    think the most useful preview is to view
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    them in the shop where you can click on
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    the preview button below each brush and
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    get a video pop up showing you exactly
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    what it is like to draw with each brush
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    in Photoshop
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    you
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    you can sort many of the brushes by type
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    such as ink charcoal watercolor and in
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    pastel
  • 1:16 - 1:21
    if you select all brushes they are shown
  • 1:19 - 1:24
    in chronological order with the most
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    recent brushes always listed first for
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    many of the brushes particularly the
  • 1:26 - 1:30
    sets clicking on the details button will
  • 1:28 - 1:33
    take you to a page with a lot more
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    information examples of usage tutorial
