    DESCRIPTION:
    Today we'll talk about the incredible Mixer Brush tool in Photoshop. As I point out in the video, there is hardly a tool in Photoshop that has the depth and complexity of things you can do with it as the Mixer Brush tool. This tool is absolutely incredible if you really get the hang of using it and exploring the features and power that this tool affords. Check it out and find more tutorials on it too! I love this tool!

    OMG THANK.YOU. I have been using this tool for a few years and never really thought to look up what it actually does so I haven't been using it to it's potential. I can make my paintings so much better now. Holy crap.

    For those struggling to achieve the same effect as I did, make sure to uncheck "Load Solid Colors Only" in the brush dropdown menu.

    I'd like to add that if you just dab the brush on one spot it gets a copy of your load unsmuged and with the properties of the brush you have, (round square etc) it's a cool way to integrate photos or whatever you are sampling from in to your image beside the usual copy and paste

    I was thinking I used to use it where it would clean itself each time and simply smear the colors used. I can't see how I did that anymore, is it still possible? (I'm just wanting to smooth color on the face in frequency separation without building the colors each stroke.)

      +Gevorg Matevosyan highlight layers you want to combine and hit CMD+E,
      but the handiest one to learn and its a bit full on, but once learnt it is great as you still have all the layers and it creates a copy on the top is
      shift + alt + cmd + e for mac
      (Swap the cmd for control on pc)

    I've been watching your videos because I'm writing a graphic memoir. I enjoy them a great deal. Is there a list of what the short cut keys will do for every tool, e.g. cntrl shift does changes to another tool while in ? All of them have so many of these that I find I wish there was a list somewhere. Are those all the same for Illustrator and InDesign too? Is there a way to take an image I create in Illustrator, e.g. cartoon and make it look like a photo in photoshop? like with the filters or ?

    If ye love me, keep my commandments.
    John 14:15 KJV
    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
    Exodus 20:8‭-‬9 KJV
    Saturday is the day of the Lord
    The claim that Christ by his death abolished his Father’s law, is without foundation. Had it been possible for the law to be changed or set aside, then Christ need not have died to save man from the penalty of sin. The death of Christ, so far from abolishing the law, proves that it is immutable. The Son of God came to “magnify the law, and make it honorable.” [Isaiah 42:21.] He said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law;” “till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law.” [Matthew 5:17, 18.] And concerning himself he declares, “I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.” [Psalm 40:8.] GC88 466.3
    Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    That fancy stuff is useless. You won't use these "insane" possibilities in real photography if you are not the artist. The main feature of MB tool is to mix the hues and to create smooth gradients. You can use it in Frequency Splitting on low frequency to change light and shadows distribution on any object - the main illusion that do photography looks like 3d objects on a flat surface. Uncheck first two buttons, set all settings to 20% and try it out.
