When post-processing an architectural image to create the perfect black and white picture, crafting your own square brush can significantly enhance the final result. Here’s an improved step-by-step guide on how to do it using Adobe Photoshop:
- Open a New Document in Photoshop:
- Launch Photoshop and create a new document (File > New).
- Select the Rectangle Tool:
- In the toolbar on the left, choose the Rectangle Tool (U). It looks like a rectangle or square.
- Create a Square Selection:
- To ensure you create a square selection, go to the top menu and choose “Fixed Ratio” in the “Style”
- Click and drag on your canvas to draw a square. Hold down the Shift key while dragging to constrain the shape to a perfect square.
- Fill the Square with Black:
- Select the Paint Bucket Tool (G) from the toolbar.
- Choose black as your foreground colour.
- Click inside the square to fill it with black.
- Define the Brush Preset:
- Go to Edit > Define Brush Preset.
- Give your brush a descriptive name (e.g., “Architectural Square Brush”).
- Click OK to save the brush.
- You Now Have a Square Brush:
- Your custom square brush is ready to use!
- Select the brush tool (B), choose your newly created square brush from the brush presets, and start enhancing architectural details in your black and white image.
Remember, creating your own square brush allows you to add a personal touch and precision to your architectural post-processing. Happy editing! 📸🖌️
