{making your logo into a brush}

First off, sorry about this one to all my brides! It is a totally nerdy graphic design tip for my fellow photogs reading this:) Here is the tip of the day, Making your logo (or anything really...) into a brush for quick stamping onto images and designs.

Step one: Turn your logo to 100% black on a transparent background, usually with the wand. I did it in color at first but it just means that you will never get the stamp to 100% opacity in the future.
Step two: Marque the area closest to the object becoming a brush.
Step three: Select Edit - Define Brush Preset...
Step four: Select Window - Brushes to open your brush palette.
Step five: find and select your brush at the end of the list

Step six: choose your favorite color:)Step seven: Use the right and left bracket keys to make you logo bigger and smaller and stamp away!!!
.............just try not to make something as hideously ugly as this example here!!

Enjoy:)
