Working With Patterns Photoshop Tutorial
Working with patterns can be very easy, yet, very important in the world of web design. Whether you want to create a forum signature, a website header or logo or maybe digitalizing an image, patterns will help you create amazing effects with few clicks. I’ll start by showing you some examples:
Let’s start by defining patterns:
1. Press CTRL + N to create a new image and fill the following:
2. Zoom to 1600% to see this canvas:
3. Select the Pencil Tool:
4. Set the foreground color Black.
5. Draw the lower pixel to get the following:
6. Go to Edit > Define Pattern:
7. Now, we’re done with defining the pattern. Let’s use it! Open any image or logo, and create a new layer (CTRL + SHIFT + N).
8. Select the Paint Bucket Tool, then set source to fill area to Pattern:
9. Select the Horizontal Lines pattern that we already defined:
10. Finally fill the new layer with this pattern… You can play with the blending options of this layer to have different lines colors or maybe transparency!
Thank you for following, I hope you have enjoyed it!
