#PARTICLESHOP BRUSH PACKS UPGRADE#

When you click Save, you’ll be presented with this options dialogue which gives you the option to save the brushstrokes on a separate transparent layer! (just make sure you start out with a copy of a layer or a merged layer) That being said, it’s really easy to work non-destructively. While writing this ParticleShop review I was very interested to find out how saving brushwork would appear inside Photoshop.įirst off, ParticleShop does not work with Smart Objects. I did miss having an option to insert RGB or Hex values, but this is really a minor thing considering all the existing options. I found the eye dropper super useful as it allowed me to sample colors in my image. Being able to pick colors using two methods is great. The left side of the ParticleShop interface lets you select your tools: Brush, eraser, smudge, eye dropper and color wheel. You’ll also find a slider named Count, which changes the intensity of the brush effects.

There’s the standard Opacity and Size settings (which can be controled with number keys and brackets, just like in Photoshop).īoth Size and Opacity can also be used with a pressure sensitive stylus, which is a fantastic feature! With any given brush, you’ll be able to play with a good number of settings. ParticleShop Review: Brush settings and options On the right side panel you’ll see the various brush packs available, as well as the brushed included in the Chaos set. Eventually I found some really fun ones to experiment with. I found that the best approach was to just pick a brush, paint a stroke or two and hit ctrl/com + z if I didn’t like it.

While writing this ParticleShop review, however, I found that it was sometimes difficult to find brushes that suited my ideas. This is a great deal, but Corel often changes the initial purchase deals, so you may find a different package deal if you decide to purchase ParticleShop.Īfter installing ParticleShop and all the extra brush sets, I was up and running! You’ll find ParticleShop in the Filter menu. At the time of writing this review, ParticleShop included an additional five brush sets with 15 brushes each. ParticleShop includes a core pack of 11 brushes. (check minimum requirements below this review.)
