Hi,

I, have just joined and am tackling your article “Find your Focus” as a first project but am having trouble choosing a brush in Step 4.
The article specifies a medium soft-edged brush but I can’t relate that to the vast no available in the Brush Picker. Could you please suggest a specific brush. I am using PE 10 Editor.

Regards

  Doug,
  Any of the Soft Round brushes should work. Perhaps try the Soft Round 35 Pixels brush and then adjust the size as needed.
