[Photoshop] Fill / Patterns

[moose]

Requested by: Civilr

Does it seem your forum signatures are missing just a little something?

Well, here is an easy way to add to your signature.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


First, we will be making the actual fill/pattern. Kind of like a brush.


Open up a NEW project, and set it like below;



**Notice, Background Contents set to Transparent.


NEXT, zoom in to x1600.

Press the highlighted button.
(Highlighted with light red)




THEN, we will use our pencil tool.

Draw this.




EASY. Now we will actually DEFINE this into a FILL/PATTERN so we can use it in our projects.

Go to EDIT > Define Pattern






Give it a unique name if you'd like.

[DONE]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Next, we will be using this in a signature

When you are fully done with your signature, make A NEW LAYER.

Press Ctrl+A to select the full canvas.


THEN, select the paintbucket tool.




Go up to the top of Photoshop and Select PATTERN.



You can keep the opacity at 100%

GO to your canvas and click

After that, you will probably want to tone the opacity down a little bit.



I prefer somewhere from down to 11% to 33%

The simpler, the less %. All you have to remember.



I hope this helped. If you find any flaws in this tutorial, PM me and I will fix it ANYTIME.

Thanks for viewing

(Remember, even just a donation of 1 point can mean something to me.)

V. nice and simple tutorial. Might want to include other patterns such as vertical/horizontal or the grid effect.

Everyone who reads this tutorial is welcomed from the beggining.

Might want to include other patterns such as vertical/horizontal or the grid effect.

I was going to, but thought first about the 56K people, and also, once you master it doing one thing, they should be able to comprehend it to the next level.

But if anyone has any further questions on this type of stuff, PM and I'll be sure you write back
