Scallops

Just putting this here so that I can hopefully find it again someday if I need it. Plus you never know, someone might find it useful!!

**************************************

There is a formula for working out the brush size v’s brush spacing to get the perfect ‘holes’ in a scallop shape.

To give that scallop shape perfectly centred holes, you simply use the same path (new layer is a good idea). You decrease your brush size, eg to ½ of the original, then you conversely increase your spacing by multiplying it by 2. If you decrease your brush size to 1/3 of the original, them you increase you spacing by multiplying it by 3.

Eg. If an oval has 216px circle shaped brush, spaced at 93% to get a perfect scallop. Punchout holes using a 108px circle shaped brush, spaced at 186%, using the same original path.

I’ve tried this on circles, squares, & ovals & have had success. The tricky part is getting the right sized & spaced circle brush to fit your path in the first place!!
