Help with Chalk

[paletti]

I running PSE3 and Im not getting a good look with Sandstone. Any other suggestions. And for those who don't know what "Chalk" is imagine a piece of blue paper with white chalk rubbed on it lightly. It's a neat effect, just cant figure out how to achieve it.

There are some chalk brushes available for download from the CreativeMac site in a couple of the free sets by David Nagel. CLICK (http://www.creativemac.com/common/search/NewSearch.jsp?keywords=download+photoshop+brushes&Search=Search&articleType=425&sites=3&matchFor=All&searchDepth=1500&sortBy=Date&numPerPage=100&siteid=3)

Scroll down the page and find "Weekly Download: Photoshop Brushes, Series 13 " and "Weekly Download: More Custom Brushes for Photoshop 7 ". They show as items 44 and 77, respectively, on my display.

They are compressed with StuffIt, so you will need that free download if you don't already have it. CLICK (http://www.stuffit.com/win/expander/index.html)

I don't know if these will be satisfactory for you, but it's all I can think of...

Just a side note.. you already started a thread on this subject, please try to post back here so that this topic is gathered under one (now two) thread. This is easier for newcommers to learn tricks if they don't have to run through several threads :)
