There are certain places where you can download a grass tool, if you look hard enough. Β It took me a while to find the pack I wanted, but once you find the perfect brush/brush pack, it's easy to find tutorials on how to get the brush into your system

You could also try FireAlpaca, which is free. Then, you can download brushes that other people have made (bitmap brushes). There are dozens of kinds of grass brushes that you can get.

This is a really helpful tutorial, but I'm having a load of trouble with getting the brush for fixing the edge of the grass to work. I know I'm doing something wrong and I'm probably missing something important in the tutorial.Β 
Could someone give me a step by step of how to make the brush for fixing the grass? It would much appreciated!Β

I don't have much experience with that program, so I'm not sure.

Try looking up tutorials for it on Youtube and such. I use a lot of tutorials on how to use my Photoshop.

I don't know, I'm sorry Regret. I've only used Cs6 once a year or so ago...I think if you go up to Window, you may find brush settings in the dropdown. Try experimenting with the settings and see what they do.Β

RainFlower16 In reply to Spirits0fDarkness [2015-06-25 17:39:22 +0000 UTC]

uhm,i think I can Help you.
You have to made a right-click (I hope you know what I mean) on the layer (on the thumnail) you want to select pixels and then you can 'select pixels'.
I hope I could help you!
