    hi cory, you really do some cool stuff but just recently you made a splat brush that reminded me of Jackson Pollock (sp?) anyway is there a way to modify a brush so that I could mimick his effect. It seems that the splat brush was very close. If you have any hints on how I could do that it would be so cool. I have been using the principles in your bullet technique but I can’t quite get the look I want.

    Excellent tutorial Cory. I used this one and another one of yours to make a bullet hole brush to come up with this poster. I hope you like it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dereksbeard/3304872012/

Creating Place Scale Markers

You know those scale markers they have on maps that say that 1″ equals 1 mile? Well, Photoshop can create something called Scale Markers. These are measurement guides that are created based on the measurement scale you use. Once a measurement scale is established, go under the Analysis menu and choose Place Scale Marker. In this example, I have established my measurement scale to interpret 100 pixels as 1″ in a file that’s 10″ wide at 100 dpi. So if I want to create a 3″ scale marker, then I would enter 3 in the Length field. I can also choose to display text as a label for the marker. You can choose its color and placement depending on the file.
