Photoshop :: To Add Some Patterns To The Preset Manager....
Jul 17, 2005
I did this a while back and now I am putting together a content pack for some 3D content and need to add some home made patterns to the preset manager for some over lay effects.
I see the files are .pat files and tried to save a neat texture I made using an image my friend took of some fungus (trust me it looks cool ) using the GIMP 2.2 and then browsed to the new file in PS-CS and tried to load it up and got an error message that it was corrupt.
Is there any way to load more than one brush, patter, custom shape etc. at a time in the preset manager? I have about 300 brushes and I just dont want to do load them 1 at a time.
I had lots of brushes put into my preset manager and now they have gone? this has happened before to my patterns textures preset. one day open and find them gone? Also is there a way that I can back up what is in my preset brushes and textures that are loaded? many. ps cs5
I have a bunch of different Crop Tool settings. I use Preset Manager to sort them into a logical order. If I exit & restart PShop (CS3) they are back in the order in which they were created. How do I ensure that the preset preferences are restored between sessions?
Why is there a 'lightroom video preset' under the preset tabs. yet when i open a video file in lightroom and go to the develop modue it says video is not supported in the develop module?
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 had CS5 and downloaded CS6 and now I need to get my presets into CS6 and I followed directions to export and import and migrate as well even drag and drop and only one pattern comes up from the 22mb folder file I had in CS5 that we exported?
Any reasons why this would happen to to fix the issue as well?
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.
It used to be that in creating Photoshop work for video, you would start with 720 x 540 and then re-size down to 720 x 480 to correct for the square vs. rectangular conversion.
Now I see that Photoshop CS seems to have various presets for new files but I'm not sure if the regular DV (720 x 480) and others will work straight away without the conversion process.
i don't have the preset tolls for brush anymore. the reason i need this is for the airbrush. i tried 'load brush" 'load tool" and stuff like that. anyone know how to get it back? or better yet, anyone know what options the "airbrush" is so i can custom add it?
I was watching an Illustrator 6 tutorial and the instructor was able to change his workspace to resemble photoshop with a 'Like in photoshop' preset. There was also an InDesign and FreeHand preset as well. Is this a feature that needs to be enabled or downloaded.
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?
