Help With Creating This Pattern

Hi everyone,

This is my first thread asking for help but I desperately need it. I have these photos of buildings, and I need to make a preview of them how they would look if they were wrapped with currogated steel or steel panels.

Up to now, I've tried this method:
*) Create a shape on the object where the corrugated steel is going to take place. I'll name this shape Q1
*) Create another squared shape on top of it (Q2) , give this second shape the Corrugated Steel pattern and convert it to a smart object.
*) Use Transform--->Distort on this smart object to shape it like the Q1 shape .

It doesn't look that bad, but it's pretty unrealistic. If anyone could suggest any better method, I would be soo grateful

You can see the pictures attached.

WheneverI define a pattern, I want it to be there for later use. Problem, where do I find it? I looked in my pattern folder and don't see it. Where is it or is there something else I have to do to save it before I close it out?

Thanks,

Hello all,

I'm a bit of a PS newbie, but I was wondering, is it possible to add a custom Pattern to use for Outerglow?

For instance, if there was a specific pattern, let's call it a polka dot pattern that I have custom created, is it possible to somehow import this into Outerglow and select this?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance!

How can I create a custom halftone screen? I have tried to define a pattern and use that, and have over layed a pattern with hard-mix but I cannot seem to get as clear results as these. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am completely new to this forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and have a question regarding file size/quality. So, here it goes.

I am currently working on publication that requires all downloaded photos to be uploaded to a website that has a max file size of 20 mb. When I download an image to use for a background (some sort of a pattern that is normally somewhere around 800 x 800 size) the image is about 180 kb which is perfect. Unfortunately, the image has a poor ppi resolution and prints extremely blurry so in photoshop under image size, I increase the resolution so that the file size & resolution is bigger. This takes a lot of guessing on my part.

For example, if I increased the image resolution to 100000000 ppi, the file size would end up way over 20 mb which does me no good. So what I am wondering is, is if there is a way to optimize the the resolution of the image, given the file size limitations, without all of the guess and check?

If this looks confusing, I apologize and will gladly explain more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately the pattern stamp tool insists on having one or two pixel-wide white edge on my touch ups. No brush type or amount of hardness I choose from the tool options bar gets rid of this. Any idea how I can set the pattern stamp tool to have a hard edge, so hard there's absolutely no fade to white at all on the edges.

Hey guys! This is my first post but I'm stuck. I've been editing with Photoshop for a while and can normally get my way through any issue I've had. But not so with this. I have the attached image that I like but I want to remove the words that are spray painted on the wall. Basically I want to keep the blue background but make it still look faded and like spray painted brick.

I don't want someone to edit this photo for me, just give me an idea as to how to accomplish this. I've tried the color replacement tool as well as the color replacement adjustment. I've also tried the clone stamp and pattern stamp tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I need to know if there is a way to change a pattern/ print on a shirt into a solid color while keeping the shadow details and natural bends and wrinkles in the garment? HELP!!! =)

Hi guys,

Hoping you might be able to help me out. I'm working on creating a portfolio website to showcase various creative works of mine that combine both my photography, and my writing. The portfolio site I'm building is heavily image orientated so I'm working on a way to use images to present my written work.

My idea at the moment is to break my stories up into manageable 'chunks' and place them over images that help tell stories.

I've been playing around in PS today, trying to work out how this can be done effectively. What I created however, isn't particularly great and I was hoping you guys might have some tips for working with text in Photoshop??

The image below is what I've got so far (very basic and incredibly unfinished!), I used a random font I found that I liked (any things I should look for in a font?), used the skew, and perspective tools after converting to smart object and I created a bit of shadowing under the text. One of the issues I had was that it's awkward to know what will happen to the text when it's distorted so I found myself duplicating the first text layer to skew, then deleting, editing the text a bit and repeating to get the formatting. It was quite a faff, is there an easier way?



I would really appreciate any feedback, constructive criticism, and tips. I'd like to make this Photoshopping process as simple as possible for myself in the future so I can keep creating easily.

Cheers,
KQ

Here's a picture of a pattern on top of another picture. I'm trying to transform the pattern (ctrl+T) in a perspective mode but it gives me the message you see on the screen.
The problem is that I've done this before and it has worked.
Am I missing something?

I've noticed that it will work for the "fill" function in the "edit" menu at the top but won't work for the adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette area.
