Can I create a Brush from an Image?

Thu Oct 08, 2015 1:03 am
I stumbled across this piece of great software not to long ago and while I love using gimp I have gained a profound love for Krita as well because it seems to do the things I would normally do in gimp much better in certain areas though there are some obvious differences and a few issues between the two but anyway that's besides the point..

My question is...

Is it possible to use an Image inside Krita and turn it into a Custom Brush? Or is that not possible other than to paint to create your own from what i've seen in youtube videos?

I did some digging around but that seems to be the only way at the moment...

Any thoughts or advice about this?

You can use any png image as a brush by placing it in the brushes folder. Png images with a transparent background work best. You can also make a brush out of your currently open image, by going into the brush editor, select Predefined brushes and then press the "Stamp" button.

Awesome! Will definitely have to go try that out right now! Thanks!
