Branch out with the tree brush pack.

You can use high-resolution tree brushes from the Summer 2021 and Winter 2022 brush packs to create a forest’s worth of flora, from tropical coconut palms to picturesque green grass. They’re a great way to add a stylized organic feel or even a realistic tree silhouette to a photo or design project.

Organize your orchard.

With your tree brush set, you’ll have a lot of different brush options for building your own foliage — whether it’s grass, hedges, or trees. Keep your brushes organized by creating separate folders for each type in your Brush Panel.

By placing the trees you make onto their own layers, you can edit them individually from the rest of your project to ensure that it blends perfectly with the whole image.
