Photoshop Illustrator Indesign
Can you convert a photoshop brush to be used in illustrator or indesign?
I need to make a business card, and it has to match the website I created for the same company. There is a photoshop brush that i used on the site that I also want to use on the card, but the card needs to be printed in only 3 spot colors (which means it needs to be done in Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Indesign). Is there a way for me to convert the photoshop brush to be used in illustrator or indesign?
Note: I can ONLY use the adobe programs Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator. Please do not suggest I use another program.
you can open photoshop, load up your brush on a blank page and unlocked layer. Then paint the brush and when you're done cmd+click on the layer you painted on, making sure you click on the little thumbnail. Doing this will outline the brush. Then go to the paths tab, click on the drop down menu and click on make work path. Then a little window will pop up asking you what to set the tolerance to, i left it at 2 pixels, but i was using a really large brush, but you can play around with it if this works. Anyways click ok, and then you'll see your newly created work path under the paths tab. Now go up to file>export>paths to illustrator. Make sure at the bottom where it says "paths" that your work path is selected from the drop-down menu, then Save the file as whatever you want, this will become the vector that you open up in illustrator. Hit save and then find the file you just saved and open it up in illustrator. you might not be able to see anything when its open but this is cuz there's no colours applied to it. Hit cmd+a to select everything on the page and you should see the anchor points for your brush highlighted. Then just apply the desired stroke / fill. Hopefully this helped/works.
oh btw sorry im working on a mac, if you're on a pc i think everywhere i hit cmd you hit ctrl instead. And if you have holes as part of the brush and they are being filled in when you apply fill just make them compound paths in illustrator
