Photoshop :: How To Make Pattern Preview And Post Patterns
Oct 18, 2011
I have just been having a blast making photoshop patterns, I could do this forever it feels like . I have only made a few as a test, I want to know how to share them.
1- How do I best make a preview of them?
2-How do I post them so that others can download them if they want them?
I am using the newest version of Gimp. Everything is great, it runs smooth and not many crashes..But! I cant make brushes or Patterns. in the older versions all you had to do was select what you wanted as a brush/pattern name it, and it would appear
Now, I get this Error: (<unknown> : 18850791) Procedure execution of file-gbr-save failed: Could not open 'C:Documents and SettingsNorseman.gimp-2.8/brushes/mybrush14.gbr' for writing: No such file or directory
Am I missing something? Do I need to reinstall Gimp?I havent loaded any new patterns or brushes, so I dont know why its not working?
For unknown reason the hatch pattern preview does not work on some drawings - I have tried turning HPQUICKPREVIEW off and on but this does not make any difference. Also the hatch palette images boxes are blank at times (I have to slect the update tool image to get them back). This only happens on some drawings (others work fine).
I've just begun using Xara. I've used Corel before but can't see how to make pattern or arrays of objects in Xara. I'm needing to make mask templates for Watch faces, graphics mask for tire graphics etc.
I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created charts in Illustrator using the pattern swatches feature. (These are knitting charts. Each square contains a pattern swatch representing the knitted stitch.)
I am then placing these charts in their native .ai format into an Indesign file and exporting them to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the Mac Preview reader and in GoodReader, the charts do this...
... the pattern swatches shift around inside their squares. Each of those dots should be centered inside their squares. In Preview, when I resize the application frame, the pattern swatches move as I re-size the frame.
I've tried saving the charts as PDFs and placing those into the InDesign file. Exporting the charts as images (jpg or tif) works, but I have to make the resolution/file size ridiculously large to get the quality of the vector image. I'd rather place the .ai files into the .indd file if possible.
What should I do to “Layer 1” (the single image) to get-rid of those Horizontal and Vertical lines from pattern? While repeating as the Background Image into the HTML page, those Horizontal and Vertical lines does not look nice.
I have gotten a request from the animation department that they would like to be able to create previews that are watchable from a web-browser directly from 3ds Max, specifically through a HTML5 Video tag - is it possible to get Max to support .mp4 or .webm from the Make Preview menu?
I downloaded re synthesizer, but I am lost on how to make a repeatable pattern... some website said re synthesizer is used for removing watermarks, I cannot find anything relating to making a repeatable pattern.
I am not so familiar with illustrator so how to make more effectively and fast. I have got designed pattern with pen tool. And now I would like to add two different "relief" pattern to it- you can see it on my picture- the red one. How to do that?
1. adapt shapes to background grey shape of flower?
I have patterned a part in an assembly and now wish to modify one of the patterned components without it changing the others. When I edit one of the patterns it changes the others similarly. Is there a way to make changes to just one pattern without affecting the others? The modifications are to a frame generated design.

I followed this tutorial to create 3D Christmas lights, and all was going well until I reached one of the final steps- release clipping mask in order to proceed with making a pattern brush. The "Release" option is simply not available, I'm only allowed to "Make."
My questions:
- What might have I missed/what should I look for to enable making a pattern brush with 3d objects?
I am using Coreldraw X5 for printing and sublimation. If I use Pattern or Texture fills for a background, is there any way to make them less intense so the text can more easily be read? I am not sure of the correct terminology, whether it is "fade", "intensity" "transparency" etc. I would just like the fill to be fainter.
I was asked how to make a honeycomb pattern during the Meet the Master session on facebook. Here is a quick short tutorial on making patterns, specifically the honeycomb pattern in DRAW.
I really want to make a small honeycomb swatch pattern (the polygons should be small - 2 px x 2px) , but I just cannot get it to work. What I did is make one small polygon, and went to: Object>pattern>make and applied the following settings:
You will see that on the shoulder of the t-shirt, the pattern is kinda trasparent - the bottom layer is visible-I don't want it to be.The bottom pattern(on the side of the t-shirt) you will see came out fine, except that the polygons are too big and I cannot get it any smaller.
I am trying to make a hatch pattern in Illustrator CS6 with the pattern tool so I can apply a clean, single lined hatch to various shapes (some small some big - but the hatch needs to remain at the same seamless scale). I understand that there is a Basic Graphics_Lines Pattern under the Swatches Palette, but I don't understand how to edit it with the Pattern Options dialogue box.
I must be missing something, because I wouldn't think making a single line at 45° repeat at the same spacing for a shape fill would be that difficult. I shouldn't have to make a line with the pan tool at a stroke of 1000 with a 0.1-3 dash and make a clipping mask should I?
Basically I don't know how to make a pattern's lines match up when I do the 5x5 or 3x3. I tried doing 1x1 and the result is that of the image with the red stroke...still not aligning. Do I need to get mathematical with the size of the line I'm drawing and its stroke to allow H and V Spacing to work?
I'm using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7 64 bits and noticed two new bugs or problems that didn't occur before, on the import dialog: when it opens should go to the last used import preset, like in the previous versions of Lightroom. Instead it goes to none. Also the images are not visible: I allways have to hover my mouse over the thumbnails or even I'll have to click on a thumbnail to make the image (preview) appear..

Because I have now Vista 32: I bought and installed a full VS12 (X2 PRO?).
Problem: when I go to the Share-step I can add clips to the project but I cannot see them in the right. So cannot add chapters or trim the clip in the share step. The buttons below the preview window stays inactive.
When I go further: I cannot see the preview of the video "Press 'play' button to start preview" stays on the screen.
When I go further till burning (DVD-folder), the program makes the folder.
I wanna make a pattern of some sort of all my favorite Pokémon, and of me in either a random collage or repeatable pattern out of a bunch of transparent PNGs. how can I obtain this objective in Gimp?
I have a picture of a vase which of course has the shadow of a 3 dimensional object as well as the warp in the image caused by the image wrapping around the round vase. Is there a way that I can "unwrap" the image from the vase and to have the picture appear flat? I tried manually doing it with warp grid but it was a lot of work and did not look very smooth.
