So just wondering what I might be doing wrong with that step."
Are you trying to save the same shape again, such as the heart and that is why you are seeing it in the Create Brush Tip window? Try a different image and make a selection and see if it creates a brush from your new selection. (You don't have to save this, click cancel)
This would be handy if you had say a image/photo and you want to select a certain area of that photo to turn into a brush. It's really not nessecary to learn this method but I wanted to point out that it is there and handy in some situations.
I am heading to work in a bit today but I think it will be slow enough and I will be able to get online.

The way I read the tut there are three ways to get the brush saved. I can do it with two of the options. But I'm anal and want to be able to do them all. Ha
1-Here I have the same heart and it doesn’t matter if I have a white background color on my
image or not. Solid, Clean, Pure White will not show up or paint any color in your brush
tip.
Now you can either just File>Export this as a brush tip which I think is the way most of
you would do it.
I can do this one
2.- Or you can select your brush tool to activate it. Go to the brush tip selection box #1 (where you would pick a new brush tip) and in the lower right corner you see two little button boxes. Click the first one #2 and this will bring up the Create Brush Tip dialog box where you can add the name #4 and info about your new brush along with setting the file location where PSP will save your brush #3. When you are done click OK #5.
Can't do this. When I do #2 to open the Create Brush Tip Dialog Box- the brush preview shows whatever brush was previously selected and not the brush/image I am trying to create.
My exact steps for the first time save in the new document are
1- put the heart shape in my new document
2- Select the brush tool
3. Click on the brush tip selection box dropdown arrow
4. Click on the Create Brush tip button
5. Create Brush tip Dialog Box opens but isn't displaying the heart that I want to amke the brush from3-Or you can choose Selections>Select All or (Ctrl+A) which puts marching ants around
your whole image.
Or if you have a more detailed image that you only want certain selection to be made into
a brush tip. Using your Magic Wand tool or the selection tool of your choice, to select
certain areas on your image to be made into a brush tip.
Then select your brush tip tool to activate it. Go to the brush tip selection box and in the
lower right corner you see two little button boxes, choose the second button to Create
Brush Tip from Selection. Again fill in the name and description of your brush and click
OK.
I can do this one.
I found a tutorial on attaching thumbnails but the SnipIt tool in Vista that I use for screen captures isn't going to work because my drop menus in PSP X disappear when I activate it. So I can't actually show you what happens when I try to do the 2nd method
