PATTERNS IN Photoshop

When it comes to using patterns in Photoshop, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, you’ll want to make sure that the pattern you’re using is a vector pattern. This means that the pattern will be editable and scalable without losing quality. Additionally, make sure that the size of the pattern is appropriate for the size of your image.

PRO TIP: Patterns in Photoshop can be a great way to add interest and dimension to your work, but they can also be a major source of frustration if you’re not careful. Here are a few things to keep in mind when using patterns:

1. Make sure your pattern is high-resolution. Low-resolution patterns will look pixelated and blurry when enlarged.

2. Always check the tile size of your pattern. If the tile is too small, it will repeat too often and become distracting. Conversely, if the tile is too large, it will leave big empty spaces in your design.

3. Be aware of the colors in your pattern. Some patterns can be quite busy, and if you’re not careful, they can overwhelm your design. Choose patterns that complement the colors in your image, and don’t be afraid to adjust the hue/saturation if necessary.

4. Use layer masks to control where the pattern appears in your design. This is especially important if you’re using multiple patterns – you don’t want them all competing for attention.

5. Have fun! Patterns can add a lot of personality to your work, so experiment and find ones that you love!

If the pattern is too large, it will be difficult to see and will take up too much space on your image. Finally, it’s important to remember that patterns should be used sparingly – too many patterns will start to look cluttered and messy.
