Rotate any brush to get an interesting effect

The ability to rotate Photoshop brushes gives you the best control as if you have a real brush in your hand. You can control the size of brush heads and brush types. The "corner" of the brush can be lost but can be solved with a small Photoshop setting.

It is an interesting trick to create some creative background or texture. Some brushes are designed as "corner brush" to make a graphic frame. Rotate the brush to easily cover all corners!

1. Open the Brush control panel with the settings and presets. Go to Windows> Brushes if it is not displayed.

2. From the Brush panel, select a brush that is not a round brush or a brush you need.

3. The brush rotation wizard is in the Brush Tip Shape installation in the Brush panel. As you can see in the picture below, the small circle allows you to completely control the angle and create the brush circle. Some presets of brushes have their own angles and circles. You can use small circles to change that.

You can rotate the 360 ??degree brush. Click and drag the circle until your brush is oriented in the exact direction you want.

I wish you all success!
