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!

You might be confusing "textures" with "patterns" in Photoshop. Like brushes, you can download patterns (the ending of the filename is .pat) and you can access them through the paintbucket tool. (If you really do mean textures tell me I'm off the mark and I'll attempt a second more accurate answer for you!)

To undo more than twenty times, go to Edit> Preferences> Performance and look for History States at the top right. You can change this to any number you’d like, up to 1000.

Do you know how to access the brush palette? That will give you oodles of options on how to change that "grass blade" brush and how it points. Once the brush palette is open, for example, clicking "scattering" will make those blades of grass go all kinds of directions.
