How can I convert color Photos to patterns. It is easy to get them to greyscale but I need the lights and darks well defined so I can make a pattern to paste on wood and cut out the picture.
I am not familiar with photoshop and thought it would be a snap to convert a picture from one size to another, but I can't figure out how to do it...I have an image that is currently 96 X 65 pixels and I wish to have it printed on canvas. The shop where I'm having it printed said it must be at least 500k in order to maintain the integrity of the picture...I havehow to do this, or if can even be done!!
I am trying to design a layout for a headstone. It will be etched into black granite. They want a custom landscape done with images that they provided me. How do I change these photos to be a deep black and white that prepared for an etching machine? I seen something called etched II but for cs5. I have CS4.
I have edited certain photos in Photoshop Elements 11 (using the Expert guide for advanced editing techniques)and for some reason, these photos were converted to a psd format.
Now I cannot seem to be able to upload these psd photos to an outside Photo Album provider. all my jpeg photos upload fine but not the psd ones.
there are different patterns all over this graphic. And on the bottom, there are the cubes, and they sort of dissapear towards the left of the image. Is this done using the selection tool to select exactly where the patterns would go?
i had to re format my hard drive the other night, and was wondering if any fellow photoshop user was willing to save their patters and send them to me. this only really applies if u have made cool patterns of ur own i suppose.
I am trying to send a client a photoshop CS6 file whom is using CS5. He can open the file but the custom patterns are not converting even after installing the patterns.
Someone know where to find some shapes and patter for Photoshop? I'm searching for geographical shapes and floreal pattern, also other patter and shapes are good.
Does anyone know where I can download a collection of popular patterns? I mean, by myself, I already have patterns like scanlines and dots and boxes, but there are complex patterns out there that I'd like to have. Anyone know where I can get them or learn how to make them?
I've created my own defined patterns in photoshop CS and looking to transfer them across to another pc with photoshop on. I've looked in the presets at file size and changes but theres nothing.
Do any of you clever people know where my defined patterns are, my photoshop is installed in the default location.
I created a pattern of concrete block coursing that I want to apply to a picture of the side of a building. The pattern is clipped so that it will repeat appropriately when filled into a large area. The problem is that depending on where I fill in the canvas, the pattern never fills in with the same start point. I want it to always start at the bottom left corner of the pattern (which is the bottom left corner of a block). Is there a way to set the point that a pattern moves out from? Also, does the pattern radiate from its center point or one of the corners?
In Autocad there is a snapbase command that lets you choose the start point for a pattern. This is exactly what I'm looking for in photoshop.
If i have an image that i have used custom patterns on and i want to give out the PSD file for people to use and change things and resave do i need to give out the custom patterns? for instance i made a custom line pattern, will that not appear if i dont hand it out too? and what filename should i give it if so?
I'm trying to paint with a pattern I created but I'm having trouble doing so. I'm trying to follow the instructions in the photoshop manual but it almost seems as though they missed something (but it's probably me who's missing something). To create a pattern, it says to use the rectangle marquee tool to make a selection, setting feather to 0, choose edit -> define pattern, give it a name, and hit OK. So when I do that, nothing seems to happen after I hit OK. If I try to use the paint bucket tool, I still get the same monotonous color. How do I actually use the pattern I just created with the paint bucket tool?
Everytime I go and try to define a pattern, i normally make the pattern pictures big, but everytime i try to make them smaller in the "Pattern Overlay" thing they get blurry,
When I click the pattern I want, by default it puts the full size image first:
Although, when I try and when i try to scale it down, this is how it gets!
I've been seeing a lot of print design lately where people use border designs around their postcards etc. I haven't been successful in finding any galleries with examples.
These border patterns resemble something out of victorian architecture.
I am unsuccessful with clicking and draging .PAT files from my presets folder in Windows Explorer into and/or around the Preset Manager window in CS5. When I click and drag, my cursor symbol makes it look like it will work but nothing happens- no .pat files are loaded in.
So, far all I can do is load one pattern at a time.
Is it possible to move/load multiple .pat files at one time?
I have accidentally loaded some patterns more than once and so they are repeated in the list (which is more annoying than anything at this point).
I have checked the manual and it just says to go to any Pattern pop-up menu and to then select the pattern and hold the Alt key and click (pointer turns into scissors) and the pattern will be deleted.
I don't want to delete the patterns by going to program program files > adobe > presets ... or what have ya b/c I do want one copy.
Is there a way to clear them all from the list and then I can reload/import the patterns again?
I have tried to get rid of the duplicates in the list by using the Preset Manager, the Import/Export panel and by (of course) the (above) Alt + Click on the pattern name to no avail. All in all I would just like to keep my patterns organized so as the collection grows I'll be able to manage them better and find 'em more quickly.
I'm using Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X. Last year I created an artwork including colour half tones, but also some other simple halftone filter that I applied to layers of solid colour (see attached image - you may need to view it at 100% to see what I mean)
It's a simple half tone pattern of white vs 1xcolour using either circles or squares. I remember that this was applied simply, not any special process as I didn't go out of my way to create this effect I just stumbled upon it. I can't for the life of me remember how to do it again.
When I try to make a hexagonal repeat pattern with a triangular motif I cannot avoid seams even though I am careful using guides. I am using photoshop CS5.
When you change a fabric or a pattern on an object how do you get the pattern to repeat as it would in real life? For example if I change a fabric on a curtain how do I get the pattern to look as it would in real life so it isn't enlarged or distorted?
The custom pattens I have saved with my brushes just disappeared, I tried reloading my brushes and that didn't do anything, I opened the pattern and redefined it, as long as I have it selected as the texture I want to use it's fine but as soon as I choose another texture and then go back to a different brush with a different pattern saved to it, the other ( not the one saved to the brush) texture shows up in the brush.
I have saved my brushes and have kept them on a flash drive with the pattens saved to them, they work on my classroom computers and have for years everywhere I have used them. This just happened this week and I can't seem to fix it. I updated my PS6 and it worked for a day but when I restarted PS it did the same thing.
So I have various extension files (.zip, rar, pat) that are download into my computer (into the download area). But how do I import them into Photoshop for use? Does Photoshop only accept certain kinds of file types? General answers wont work (yes, I know about the pattern stamp, etc), only very specific instructions. I have CC.
I'm wondering if theres a way to wrap a pattern around certain shapes.. in this case above, wrapping a metal pattern around this worm-like wrap assembled in a circle(its a stand/base for a hologram)
