    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/

Document Your Happy Accidents

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
