Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me by figuring out if Photoshop has an option for the following.

I made a hollow ring brush to which I want the following to apply:

-the brush cant overlap itself, even empty spaces. To make it more clear I have added the following screenshot

Does anyone know how to achieve this effect? So it looks like the empty space of the brush is also not allowed to be overlapped.

Thanks in advance!

You'll need to define a new brush preset that looks like this, and adjust spacing as Jeff told you

If you are not sure how to do that that make a circular selection, and use Edit > Stroke with black as the foreground color on a new layer.

Copy the layer and move it into position to give you the overlap you require.

Ctrl click the copied layer, select the first layer and hit the delete key.

That will leave an easy bit to erase

Edit > Define brush

adjust spacing and you are good to go.

Go to Window>Brush Settings>Brush Tip Shape and adjust the Spacing

Sorry, I should have phrased my question better, I do want the brush strokes to interact as they do in the top side depiction with the green checkmark. If I increase the spacing the lines would no longer intersect in the same way. I erased the left part of the second and third ring by hand but I want this to happen automatically, is there a way to achieve that? (leaving the spacing untouched)
