Creating a Custom Brush

With Paint, you can create your own custom brushes for specialized applications. You can modify an existing brush, draw your own brush shape, or grab a part of the image to use as a custom brush.

Use the Custom Brush menu to create your own brush. To display the Custom Brush menu, double-click one of the brush icons in the Brushes window. An enlarged view of the selected brush appears in the editing panel.

There are three ways to create a custom brush:

- Using the brush profile
- Drawing a brush shape in the editing panel
- Grabbing an area of the image
