Hi all
as above: how can i take a photo, select something, define a brush with exact colors and use it as a common monochrome brush ?
Usually a colored selection can be transformed in a Pattern, but patterns does not have Brush options like scattering and so on. i want to use a leaf photograph as brush, with all brush’s options and tools. How to ?

The Pattern Stamp takes advantage of the options in the Brushes palette.

Yes… Katwoman said too.
BUT pattenr stays tiled, i cannot have the pattern
rotated/scaled/overlappend as i can do with a common brush. I really cannot understand if i’m missing something or if this is outside PSP capabilities.
Think of having a leaf photo (color) with alpha channel; i want to use this leave as brush, with scattering and other brush options. Pattern stamp seems to "unveal" and underlying pattern witha brush, but it does not *paint* with that patern. Or not ?

You might need another program for that.
