About This Brush Pack
Fireworks brushes let you add the festive, explosive energy of celebration to any design or photograph without access to a professional pyrotechnics shoot. This pack of 100 brushes covers the full range of firework types: chrysanthemum bursts, willow cascades, peony rounds, star clusters, comet trails, and glittering sparkle dispersions — all photographed at 4K resolution under real fireworks conditions. The brushes are optimized for Screen or Linear Dodge blend mode, naturally brightening and colorizing the layers below. Use colored brushes or apply Hue/Saturation adjustments to shift each burst to any color scheme. Commercial use is included, making these ideal for advertising, event design, and celebration content.

Tips for Better Results
- Always paint on a separate layer — never directly on your background. This lets you adjust blend mode, opacity, and position non-destructively.
- Experiment with blend modes like Multiply (for dark textures on light backgrounds), Screen (for light effects on dark), and Overlay (for midtone texture).
- Lower brush opacity to 20–50% and build up multiple strokes for more natural, layered results.
- Use Ctrl/Cmd + Z generously — with Photoshop brushes, experimentation is the fastest path to great results.
- A pressure-sensitive drawing tablet (like a Wacom) dramatically improves results with most brush types, giving you natural opacity and size variation.
