Hi! Your tutorials are very useful and easy to understand. But I have an issue... When you say past to back you say control V... But is control B

Hi! I'm glad you like them! Could you please tell me where? I can only find one place. I hear Ctrl+B, but it might not be very clear. I will add the shortcuts as captions on future videos.

Amazing video! I took some photos of roses and leaves. I followed your tutorial and made a seamless pattern but when I zoom it , flowers and leaves looks blurry and not good. Where did I make a mistake? I wanna upload that seamless design on the Print on demand . Thank you.

@Unukadesign 4 жыл бұрын

I think you have to vectorise your images first before you create a seamless pattern. Thats usually what i do lol hope that helps :) Theres a lot of quick tutorials on how to vector your image/designs on YT so goodluck :)

Okay so I made a pattern with varying opacities, and then when i expanded and cropped with the pathfinder, my desired opacity was lost (maybe because we paste the same thing at the back so it gets layered or so... But the change comes only after I crop it) So what would u suggest if i want to have lesser opacity for my elements, and still have a background color? (I am sorry if this is too long or incomprehensive, but I had no other way of explaining this😅😅)

@bycristinasilvia 4 жыл бұрын

You might need to use Expand more than once as it usually works only on the top layer. You can also try without the background at the back and add it after you crop the pattern.

When I crop it, it doesn't crop it at all so I don't know why it's doing that for me?

@bycristinasilvia 6 жыл бұрын

Do you use raster images? The crop tool only works on vectors. If you use images that are in JPEG or PNG file format, you'll have to vectorize them first. Or you could use a clipping mask instead of cropping it.

I am missing something. when I select on the patterns the whole box gets selected. thank you.

When I do this it says it cannot make with objects that are linked? Any idea what I may be doing wrong :(

@bycristinasilvia 3 жыл бұрын

Are you using raster images? You have to embed the images before you can make the pattern. Just select them and click on embed in the toolbar above the workspace.

hi Cristina what is artword?

@bycristinasilvia 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, Paula! If I said artword or wrote that in the captions, it was a mistake. I was probably talking about the artboard, the work area that's similar to Photoshop's canvas.
