Found some great Photoshop patterns and don’t know how to use them?
No problem. I will show you a simple way how to install them in Photoshop. So, let’s begin! (For a larger view click on the images.)
I will be using my Pretty Pastel Patterns to demonstrate.
First of all, you’ll need to download them and save them on your computer. Sometimes patterns will come in ZIP format (like these ones), so you’ll need to unzip them first. You can identify Photoshop patterns by their .PAT file extension.
Create a new document in Photoshop. Mine was 1000×1000 pixels.
To install Photoshop patterns you’ll need to:
Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Pattern. On the New Layer window click OK. That will open a Pattern Fill window. As you can see, it immediately loaded a pattern which you already had in Photoshop.
On the Pattern Fill window click on the small arrow on the right side of the pattern preview box and then click on the “flower” on the right side and choose Load Patterns.
Browse to the folder with the patterns you want to install, open it and click Load. And that’s it! You can make it bigger or smaller by playing with the scale percentage.
Brilliant! Just what I was looking for! Don’t miss this super simple Photoshop tutorial, especially if you want to make your own poster mock-ups!
Quick and simple Photoshop tutorial on how to get more vibrant photos. From my experience this method works very well with food photography. I only recommend saving original images before flattening them (just copy them, select them and go to Layer > Merge Layers).
Very clever idea! I would just like to add one quick tip: just before you apply Lens Flare filter to a layer filled with black, convert it to Smart Object. That way you have an even easier access to Lens Flare dialog box if you want to change Lens Type or Brightness afterwards.
If you’ve ever wondered if there is a difference between warped text and text on a curved path this quick tutorial brings some useful information about that.
Super quick and easy! But, have in mind, if your letters are different size from this Photoshop tutorial don’t forget to play around with brush sizes and other values in order to get the desired effect. And don’t forget to grab the Pen Tool before applying the outline :) Happens to me all the time!
Really quick and easy tutorial, even for beginners… And with nice and fluffy final result.
This tutorial is perfect for recalling some unfairly forgotten Photoshop knowledge. It is also extremely fun and easy to follow. I especially love this glossy finish. Check it out!
