closely with Adobe product teams on the development of future brushes for Adobe Creative
Cloud.
To add the Kyle T. Webster brushes to Photoshop, open the Brushes panel (Window >
Brushes), and choose Get More Brushes from the Brushes panel menu. After you download a
brush pack and with Photoshop running, double-click the downloaded ABR file to add its
brushes as a new group in the Brushes panel.
Painting with Symmetry
If you’re painting a design that uses symmetry, try the Paint Symmetry brush option. When a
brush type that supports Paint Symmetry is selected, you’ll see the Paint Symmetry icon ( )
in the options bar. Click that icon, and select the type of symmetry axis you want; it appears
as a guide object in the document. Move, scale, or rotate the guide if you want, and then press
Enter or Return. As you paint with Paint Symmetry, each of your brushstrokes is repeated
across the axes you set up.
You might use a single axis for simple mirror symmetry, but you can also use multiple axes
arranged in different ways. For example, you can use horizontal and vertical axes to design
tiles, or radial axes to design mandalas.
The axes are actually paths, so you can see and edit them in the Paths panel. You can even
create your own custom axis. Draw with a tool such as the Pen, Curvature Pen, or Custom
Shape tool in Path mode (not Shape mode). With the path selected in the Paths panel, choose
Make Symmetry Path from the Paths panel menu.
