TechEnclave tech brushes

I created this brush pack for personal use on the website TechEnclave but it can be used freely by anyone. The main idea behind this effort was to provide tech brushes for watermarking the pictures with a TE logo.
The pack contains only 4 brushes as I do not have much spare time to work on more and better stuff. Though I think 4 are more than enough.

How to install the brushes.

Download the attached tech.zip file and extract the brush set techenclave.abr to the following directory or wherever you have photoshop installed.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Presets\Brushes

Now launch Adobe Photoshop.
Select the brush tool (shortcut key ‘B’), open ‘brush preset picker’ and click on menu.
In the list you will find a new brush set named TechEnclave, select it and click on append in the confirmation box.
Now scroll down to the bottom of the brush list in the brush preset picker window and select the brush you want.
For marking the image with the logo, choose a color and click on the image to which you want to add the watermark.

Opacity Blending
For proper blending of the watermark with the background image so that it seems more like a watermark follow this method:
Open the image to which you want to add the watermark.
Create a new layer (shortcut key ‘Ctrl+shift+N’)
Now to this layer add the water mark using the brush.
Keep this layer selected in the layers palette and lower down the opacity of this layer to any value, let’s say 50%.
There you have it, now save the image in whichever format you want.

This is the sample of all the 4 brushes...

BTW the light blue color in the samples is actually the semi-transparent area which is showing as light blue coz the background is white.
 
Wow!Great work!

I think the water mark that should be used is the 2nd one in the first image that contains four experimental watermarks.That one looks good and makes sense also.
 
Hmm...Renegade, here's a suggestion:
Why not make another copy of the brushes in the same colour as of the theme te_lite!
What say? Would go well with the looks of the site! ;)

The brushes dont come in any color... its you who select the color.
If you want it green select green and it will be green...
if you want it pink select pink....

The brushes only define the strength of the color on the image.
