Hi Rebecca - this is great ! how large do your file sizes get ? ie I know with watercolor - between all the shades - you can end up with a ton of colors and I heard ten file sizes get huge (if you want to preserve the watercolor look) - how do you manage to keep file size manageable and still make it look like real watercolor - thank you
Hi! Thanks!!! Sorry I wasn’t able to answer sooner. Yes the file sizes can get huge sometimes with this kind of artwork. The file at the end of this Part 1 video is around 30MB- which is big but not terribly large. Here’s how to manage your file sizes: 1. First, make sure your computer meets at least all the recommended system requirements for Photoshop and Illustrator- as detailed on Adobe’s website. And especially make sure you have enough memory (RAM). Better to have much more than the system requirement on this. 16GB or more is recommended. This is very important for anyone using Photoshop and Illustrator. 2. Next, you don’t have to worry too much about files being huge when you work in Photoshop. Photoshop can handle this pretty well. The maximum file size for a PSD file is 2 gigabytes which is really big! I don’t usually get close to this on my print artwork. Only once in a while. Like I mentioned, the file in this video turned out to be about 30MB- this is way smaller than the limit and it did not slow down my computer. ***But if you’re reaching that limit or you see Photoshop is taking too long to respond or save, then: A. Get rid of unnecessary elements and layers in your file. Move them to another file if you want to save them and only keep absolutely necessary parts of your artwork for that pattern on your current file. This helps me a lot. B. Close out of any other files and also other programs that you’re not using at the moment. These take up memory so closing them helps. Even internet windows that you have open should be closed. This is only necessary when working with super large files. C. Instead of saving as a PSD file, you can save as a TIF which has a higher limit (4 gigabytes). But ***MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE*** that you check “Save with Layers” when you save this format. Otherwise you will lose your layers. 3. If you’re moving to Illustrator to vectorize and continuing your work in there, that’s when you’ll need to worry more because Illustrator crashes more easily. It can crash at even midsize files so this is where you’ll really want to make sure there are no unnecessary elements, swatches, or brushes in your file. So on one file, only have the elements that you really need. And take the elements that you’re not using, save those on a separate file and close out of that. ***You can watch my Illustrator Crash video for some more info on preventing this. Although I’m mostly showing the tips on a fashion presentation, some of the tips apply to pattern artwork too and any artwork in general*** Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/8py-0VupXuQ/видео.html 4. If you need to send these large files to someone- like a client, etc. they will probably be too large to email. But you can send them through WeTransfer for free.
@@artnation2885 Hi there! If you don't have a scanner, the best alternative is to find a business in your area that lets you scan your images on their machines. In my area I can go to an office supply store such as FedEx Kinkos. They have large color copiers that you can scan on. They will charge you a fee per scan, and you will need to bring a USB to plug into the machine to save your scanned image. You would have to find places like this in your area. - Aside from that, another alternative would be to try to take a good quality photo of the artwork on your phone or on a camera if you have one. But it won't be quite the same high quality as a scan. If this is for personal use, you can try this and see how it turns out. - And one more thing you can try is a scanning app. I know of one called Scanner Pro which is for use with an iPhone or iPad. If you don't use iPhone or iPad you can check to see what other scanning apps are available. I've known of people using this but I haven't used it myself so it's something you'd have to try out. - But if this is for a paid project or if you're selling the artwork, the best option really is the first one- look for a place that gives you access to a scanner.
