I have been playing with some Photoshop brushes downloaded from various internet sites. One question dawned on me about their high resolution print quality. In other words, could one determine the print resolution of a Photoshop brush? Second, how do switching layer blending modes affect the print resolution in conjunction with PS brushes? Thirds, how does one create PS brushes at 600 dpi? Anyway, insight on the math behind scale down images to 300 dpi would help me as well.

Basically, I began a collage using thirty or so layers, primarily PS brushes. The experience was an experimental learning process about layer blending mode in Photoshop. Now, I would like to print some self-promotion material with experimental creation. Please lead me in the right direction.

A brush doesn’t have a resolution, just a size. The image itself will be printed at the resolution you set. Consequently, if your image is set at 300 dpi, anything you brushed will be 300 dpi as well.

Second, how do switching layer blending modes affect the print resolution in conjunction with PS brushes?

Blending modes do not affect the resolution of the image at all, so they will also not affect the resolution of naything you do with a brush.

Thirds, how does one create PS brushes at 600 dpi? Anyway, insight on the math behind scale down images to 300 dpi would help me as well.

You set the image at 600 dpi and your brush will be 300 dpi.

Oops. I meant of course that your brush will be 600 dpi.
