They're hip. They're cool. They're all the rage! Yes, everyone's using brushes to liven up their digital layouts. But for many, digital brushes are a riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma. In other words, "What the heck are they and how do I use them in my layouts?" Well, here's your chance to learn all about brushes using Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Photoshop.
