I new and I dumb so this maybe a dumb question but can you make brushes in color and if yes how? I'm trying to make my first one to use on my daughter's dance pictures and I know I doing something wrong.

Are you creating brushes and trying to get them in color as you create them? No you can't do that. What you do is create the brush and then apply the color as you are applying the brush. Does that make sense? I'd go more into how to do that, if I knew what program you were using!

Okay so you can't make them with color that help I thought I was Losing what little mind I have.[lol] I am using Photoshop elements. So how do you get them in color? I'm tring to match the photo's backdrop. I think I need all the help I can get.

Brushes are all and only greyscale. you cannot create a colored brush.

Those two color swatches at the bottom of your vertical Tools bar are your foreground and background colors (click the little double sided arrow to switch their positions, making foreground switch to background and vice versa). The brush will use whatever color is in the foreground box. So, if you want to match a color in a photo, click on the top (left) colored box, which will bring up your color selector. You can either click around in there and move the slider to different colors, or click the eyedropper tool on the color in the photo (You'll have to have the photo open to do this).

Once you have your color selected, click on the brushes tool in the Tools bar and start brushing!

HTH!
