Photoshop question (or two)

[tripperfunster]

Hey guys!

How do I import textures into photoshop? I can do brushes, 'cause there's a little tab when brushes are open, but I don't see any sort of tabs in textures.

Also, is there a way to 'undo' more than the twenty or so undo's that are in the undo tab? I seem to have some 'layer' issues, where I draw on the wrong one, and then run out of 'undo's to fix it.

Also also, is there a way to rotate a brush? Like the 'grass blade' brush only points up. What if I want it to go sideways or at a 20% angle? I can rotate the picture, but it's very slow and clumsy to do that.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Oh, and any extra helpful brushes or textures (or other things) you'd recc? I love to know!

There's no way to undo more actions than the history palette contains, that I know of. What you can do is periodically save a snapshot, if you think you're going to do something risky that you may want to reverse. Snapshot is the little camera-shaped icon in the lower right corner of the history palette.

Don't know about rotating a brush. I think you'd have to make a new brush to do that - unless there's a new feature and my version is just old. Photoshop's painting features are kind of rudimentary - other programs (like Corel Painter) have much more complex painting tools.

I have a ton of tablet painting brushes I could send you. PM me with your e-mail address if you'd like 'em. They're good for drawing!
