Photoshop brush settings - automatically remove overlapping lines

Hi all,

Long time listener first time caller...

I am wondering if there is a quick and easy workflow for placing brushes over the top of each other, resulting in the overlapping lines not being visible.

For reference, I am wanting to create an architectural plan using trees in plan view.

The tree brushes are the brushes I am wanting to amend to achieve the effect stated above. 

 

see pic below for reference.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

This is easy to do with a brush and layer effect combined.

Make a solid brush in the shape you want

Use that brush on an empty layer

 

Turn the fill of the brushed layer to 0% . Right click in the layers panel and in Blending options add a stroke, centered on the brushed edge

    I see Tom came up with the same method at the same time.

    You have to create a new brush...

    - make a selection of the inside of your brush

    - fill the selection (on a new layer) with black

    - Edit > Define Brush Preset (choose any name you like)
    - make the brush settings you need (e.g. Shape Dynamics > Angle Jitter)
    - make a new layer

    - set "fill" in the layers panel to 0%

    - add layerstyle: Stroke (size: 1px - color: grey)
    - draw your trees

      I am thinking probably not.  Does the interior have to be transparent (empty)?  

      I used the top illustration to make a brush preset. Open up the spacing and downsized to make these plan view trees

      I am not coming up with any way to do exactly what you are asking unfortunately.  @davescm  ?

      If I can understand your request correctly then you must create "effect", its not possible to instruct Photoshop using Brush Setings for such behaviour.
