OMG you are a lifesaver. I have been going nuts trying to do this in Affinity Designer and be able to export as a PNG and review on a document as a bitmap fill and I was able to save the file I created watching your video and bring it into AD as a fill bitmap and it worked perfectly. I always go back to Photoshop products because of the features they have and others don't. This saves so much time. Thank you.

Is there a way to export a PNG of a larger portion of the drop pattern? I dont love the pattern it has selected for me in the box and would like the pattern to be smaller and contain more of what i'm seeing in the zoomed out view!

@ArtBusinesswithNess 5 ай бұрын

If you want the motifs to be smaller, you could select everything, shrink it to 50% then tile it within your square :) Or you could start again from your diamond square and put smaller motifs in there. The more patterns you make, the more you'll be able to tell what size motifs creates what kind of pattern.

@Thepokedek Сағат бұрын

Cant you just make a square and give it a border and rotate it instead of hand drawing the diamond shape?

@DianaCasassa 6 ай бұрын

I love this tutorial. However I tried and tried and could not get my group to move as one. I don't know what I was doing wrong.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 5 ай бұрын

You may have the "auto-select" function selected. When you get your move tool, make sure the auto-select box is unchecked.

@Itsmejess33 3 ай бұрын

What type of graphics do you upload? I try to upload Canva graphics at high res 300 and they look pretty pixelated when I size them down :/ That's my only issue.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 3 ай бұрын

If you change the size of any art too much (whether you enlarge it or shrink it), you will always lose a lot of quality. Export your graphics at a size similar to how big you want them in your pattern and resize them no more than 50%. Converting your elements to smart objects also helps preserve quality.

@domiahri7145 9 ай бұрын

Hey Ness, thank you so much for this tutorial! I just have 1 issue, my photoshop keeps freezing while using the pattern preview. Does this mean I added too many elements which makes it hard for photoshop to perform right?

@ArtBusinesswithNess 9 ай бұрын

Pattern preview is a CPU hungry feature of Photoshop because it generates instant previews... If your Photoshop keeps freezing, it's likely that your computer doesn't have enough memory to run it smoothly. You can try working with a smaller canvas to alleviate that. Good luck!

@daveson3D 2 ай бұрын

can motifs be rotated in same place when selecting both? or scaled in the same place?

@ArtBusinesswithNess 2 ай бұрын

Not both at the same time. What I'll do is rotate one, copy the exact angle and paste that in the other so that they stay consistent. Same thing with scaling! Then you can move them together :)

@daveson3D 2 ай бұрын

@ArtBusinesswithNess wish there was a different way, was hoping you might know a trick haha, thanks tho!

@Tab-ej2jl 25 күн бұрын

I couldn't use the Pattern Preview because I didn't use "Smart Objects". I tried converting all my layers to Smart Objects and it still didn't work. 😭

@ArtBusinesswithNess 18 күн бұрын

Timing matters! You have to transform your motifs to smart objects BEFORE putting them over the border - otherwise the motif has already been broken.

@donnalouise5714 6 ай бұрын

Can I ask how did you move the whole group to fit into the empty diamond and did you convert to smart objects. Great video ❤

@ArtBusinesswithNess 6 ай бұрын

I simply duplicated the group, then clicked on the whole folder and moved it around with the move tool :) If you can't do that on yours, it's probably because you have "auto-select" on. Click on the move tool and in the top bar menu, make sure "auto-select" is NOT checked.

@donnalouise5714 6 ай бұрын

Thank you very much I was so close it was just that little bit. I will try later 😊

Yes! Just create a diamond shape and fill it with drawings :) The adjustments are harder to do without pattern preview, but it's possible.

@ArtBusinesswithNess Ай бұрын

@@haymur8533 That is odd :o I had to Google this. From what I can find, it's possible you don't have enough memory (RAM) to run pattern preview. It also doesn't work on artboards, if you use those. It's only available in Photoshop, not Illustrator or other CC apps. And it' not available on the tablet version, only desktop.

@@haymur8533 Oh that explains it then, pattern preview wasn't invented yet in 2017 so that version doesn't have it. It's only available from versions 2021 onward.
