Basic Brushes
A painter’s brushes are essential to his work. Without them, it would be difficult for him to work with precision and freedom, and expressing his creativity requires the right tools. The same goes for a retoucher!
Adapted tools, simplified work
Learning to draw or paint is one of the best ways to improve your retouching work. Why? Retouching is nothing more than a mixture of drawing, painting, and art restoration, with the benefits that digital technology can bring.
Dodge & Burn
The three dodge & burn brushes allow you to try out different ways of working and find the one that suits you best.
Contouring
Although contouring or shading is generally performed with dodge & burn, the brush is lighter and can be used in several passes for more delicate transitions.
Trimming
Sharp, precise brushes for easy clipping and precision work on masks or for creating freehand selections.
Quick and easy installation
Brush installation is a snap! Simply double-click on the brushes file (*.abr), and they’ll be ready to use in Photoshop. To find them, simply activate the Brush tool and go to Settings, or right-click on your image.
