Creating and Using Custom Brushes in Photoshop Elements
By Sue Chastain, About.com Guide
Select the custom shape tool. Set it to custom shape, then find the paw print shape in the default shapes set. Set the color to black, and style to none. Then click and drag across your document to create the shape. Since we can't create a brush from a shape layer, we need to simplify this layer. Go to Layer > Simplify Layer to convert the shape to pixels.
