I'm looking for a selection of spiral custom shapes to download for use in Photoshop CS. I've used the default spiral custom shape but am looking for a bigger spiral - i.e., a longer one for writing on...

Is there a site that has free custom shapes for download that anyone can recommend? And also somewhere with a nice selection of custom brushes for PS CS for applying grunge effects to the edge of photos...

Ta muchly! :D

Have you tried the Adobe Studio Exchange site? http://share.studio.adobe.com/

Loads of shapes, brushes, actions and more.... not specifically scrapping and some of them are atrocious, but some gems there too.

You can make your own spiral shape by creating a path in PS. I've just started learning PSCS2 and printed off a tutorial for this (don't know exactly where it is right now!).

I am not yet familiar enough with PS to know how to do it step by step but I am sure if you Google it you will find something - unless you already know about paths.

Good luck,

Jules

http://escrappers.com/photoshopatoz.html- here is a link to tons of PS tuts. - there is one for spiral text -http://escrappers.com/spiral.html.

For grunge brushes try - http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/ - bit of a weird site to navigate but I adore his grunge brushes.

http://www.1greeneye.net/main.html - loads of brushes here too.

And finally Niecey's site http://spaceraven.net/

HTH,

Jules

THanks to both of you! :D

I came across some nice spirals, but they were payable, will have to investigate share studio when I have more browsing time as there's a lot there! :o

Would be intrigued how to make my own custom sprial with a path, since I've been using the default sprial to make a path so I can write on it hehe!
