What am I doing wrong? Cannot save as brush?

Question

Hi all

I am trying to make a watermark for photos on my website.

However, when I try save my image as a brush preset, I get the error "Could not complete the define brush preset command because the selected area is empty"

I have made the background transparent, the heart white coloured with opacity, and the text is 'knocked out' of the heart.

Here's a picture of what I have done so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're targeting a type layer, that has no actual pixels on it.Merge the layers, make sure you have a black shape on a white background - then define as a brush.

Or you can use a color that is different from white when using an image or shape? It worked for me ironically and here's another way if you want the image/shape to remain white:

Once your brush is made with another color (as shown in the video below), you can also use the color overlay to make it white when you are done drawing
