How Do You Make an Airbrush Effect in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:24 pm

An airbrush is a small, handheld tool that sprays a fine mist of paint or other medium onto a surface. Airbrushes are commonly used for painting vehicles, models, and other smooth surfaces.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for Photoshop CS6 and earlier. If you are using a later version of Photoshop, the airbrush effect will be found under the brush settings.

To create an airbrush effect in Photoshop, first create a new layer. Next, select the Brush tool and choose a soft-edged brush.

Then, set the opacity of the brush to 20-30%. Finally, paint over the area you want to airbrush.
