I’ve intended to release those brushes as a premium set, but hey, have you heard about paid hawksmont brushes? I haven’t, so I’m giving you those for free :) What is so special about them? Well…except the fact I made them :) They are really big. Those here are not so big actually (my bandwidth is my precious) :) I’ve resized them to 50%, because the original brushes are as big as they can be (2500px) and the .abr file is 22MB (!!) This file here is only 4MB, but brushes are still bove 1000px

Photoshop Glow I Brushes

There are 11 big brushes made with Photoshop 7.0 I’ve made them myself (really proud :) ). I’ll share those 2500px brushes with you too, but I have to find a good file-sharing website. Any suggestions? I thought about 4shared…

Quick tutorial:If you want to achieve the effect on the preview use a black background and white paint for the brush. Use a glow brush on a new layer (black layer is beneath). Duplicate the layer with the brush and set the blending mode for this new layer on ‘Overlay’ or ‘Color’ (Overlay works better for me). Select this last layer and open Hue/Saturation window (ctrl+U, command+U), check the colorize option an then move all sliders as you want to :) (Note: if you have a white layer, and you do :) , slide down the ‘light’ slider to see the colours). If you think the colour of your glow is to light you can duplicate that coloured layer as many times as you need to. I duplicated the red glow layer three times :)

Before you use hawksmont brushes, please read the terms of use.

    THANKS FOR SHARING! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

    Congrates!! U MUST BE PROUD!

    But I HAVE A PROBLEM, hope some one helps me! on this step: “Note: if you have a white layer, and you do :) , slide down the ?light? slider to see the colours).”

    ===== When i want to colorize the overlay dupplicated layer with CTR U, it doesn’t work !!The layer is white and even if i slide down the light!!

    SO WHAT DO I WRONG?

    Thank you

  37. Chris Says:

    Hey, excellent brushes! Thank you very much! I’m wondering if you already uploaded the high-res version somewhere - I would really appreciate that :)

  38. fufu Says:

    cool! thx

  39. Michael Says:

    Again, a very nice pack of brushes :p

    but is there a way to turn around the brushes?

    i mean in the way that you can make a horizontal brush vertical and (like ur wingbrushes) rotate them?

  40. Anna Says:

    Hey Rimka I have the same problem. I am using CS3…but these were designed for PS7. Maybe thats an issue. For a work around you can 1) create a new layer 2) fill layer with white 3) create a layer mask 4) fill layer mask with black 5) switch to white paint and paint the glow brush on the mask. 6) duplicate the layer 7) use the 50% gray bucket to replace the white fill 8) change the layer to overlay 9) use the hue sliders as suggested. SHEESH. It seemed simpler when I was doing it! The point is, you have to have gray cause you cant change the white enough with the hue sliders. Maybe there’s an easier way!

  41. janae Says:
