Creating custom brush colors

If you need to highlight the brush tool in BioRender, follow these steps for a detailed workaround:

1. Insert Your Brush:

   • Place your brush on the canvas.

2. Use the Insert Shape Tool:

   • Select the "Insert Shape" tool from the toolbar.
   • Choose a round shape for more control over resizing.

3. Reshape the Shape you have chosen:

   • Adjust the shape to match the contours of your brush.
   • Increase the transparency of the shape to better see how it aligns with the brush.

4. Resize and Adjust Nodes:

   • Resize the shape by stretching and adjusting the nodes.
   • Delete unnecessary nodes to refine the shape's edges:
     • Right-click on a node and select "Delete Node" to make the shape sharper.

5. Zoom In:

   • Zoom in on the canvas to make precise adjustments.

6. Adjust the Shape:

   • Continue resizing and reshaping the shape until it matches the brush.

7. Add Color:

   • Give the shape your desired color to highlight the brush.

8. Adjust Transparency:

   • Adjust the transparency to your liking, making the shape more or less transparent.

9. Customize the Border:

   • Adjust the border (stroke) of the shape:
     • Match the border size to the brush or set it to zero for a uniform shape.

10. Finalize the Highlight:

    • Center the shape over the brush and make any final adjustments.

Tips

• Patience and Persistence: This process can take a little longer, but with careful adjustments, you can achieve a good highlight.
• Use Zoom: Zooming in helps with precision.
• Transparency: Adjust transparency to ensure the highlight looks natural.
