Repeat from step 4 for each watercolor piece.ħ. Type your desired Preset name (This will not be the name for your Watercolor Photoshop Brushes, just this particular preset), and click OK. Try re-sizing the largest dimension to 5000px, if it is still grayed out, re-size again to 2500px.Ħ. Ensure that your image falls within these dimensions by changing the image size (Image > Image Size). Newer versions allow brushes up to 5000×5000 pixels, older versions allow 2500×2500 pixels. If the Define Brush Preset option is grayed out, then your document is larger than the maximum brush size for your version of Photoshop. Paste the watercolor (Edit > Paste) and select Edit > Define Brush Preset. Make a new document, the dimensions of the copied piece will automatically be the dimensions of the new document. Using the Lasso Tool (L) from the main toolbar, select one of the pieces and Edit > Copy (Ctrl + C).ĥ. Using the Brightness/Contrast options (Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast) make the background as white as possible using the sliders while keeping the detail of the watercolor as high as possible.Ĥ. Convert the scan to Black and White (Image > Adjustments > Black + White > Auto > OK)ģ. Usually, a nice wash works best, you can always duplicate your layer to strengthen the contrast when desired.Ģ. Tip: Solid black paint will not provide much texture when converted. There is no reason why I used colored watercolor, in fact, I recommend you use black for a better contrast. Scan your watercolor pieces using the highest resolution possible.
