Bubble-brush problem

[Jorkon]

First hello to all from new member.

I had played with Gary's bubble tutorial and everything looks fine exept the bubble-brush. The bubbles drawn by the brush had a different transparency and the feather of some objects was lost.

How could I create a brush with the look of the original bubbles?

Hello Jorkon and welcome to the Xtreme Conference.

First of all, it looks to me like you have the transparency on the bubbles reversed. The inside of the bubbles should be more transparent and the outside of the bubble less transparent.

Feathering is not saved when you create a brush unless you create a bitmap. To do this, apply feathering to the bubble. Create a bitmap copy using the True Color + Alpha option. Create your brush and in the Edit Brush > Fill Properties tabbed section uncheck Tile Fills.

You will loose a lot of the saturation of color if you do the bitmap option.

Also, you need to go into the Edit Brush > Transparency tabbed section and set the Transparency slider to 30-40. (Did I forget to mention that? Ooops).
