Brush problems

[sigmakap95]

I am trying to use alpha brushes on my page and am using PSE 6. I have loaded the brushes, but how do I use them? I don't see a brush tool in the 'tools'. I have been trying to select the 'eraser' tool to use the brush, but if I try to stamp it on my page, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

The brush tool is one down and to the left of the eraser tool if you have your toolbar on the side. Also at the spot are the pencil tool, color replacement tool and the impressionist brush, all on a flyout menu. One of them might be showing right now on your toolbar and "Hiding" the brush tool from you. When you go to use it, simply open a new layer, choose the color you want to stmap, then choose the tool you want and stamp! Hope this helps!

Also on PSE 6 you can type the letter B as a shortcut to select the brush tool. Then go to the top of the screen and you should see the brush options menu and click on the drop down menu to select the letter you want to use.
