Close out your image - you now have a new custom brush. To use your custom brushes - open a new transparent image - click on brush, click on the brush with the arrow-choose custom brush - using the scroll tabs, locate the brush you want, click OK - type in the size brush you want, opacity should be 100, but you can lower that for a more translucent look if you like.
