thank you! I'm jusr studying Photoshop and was bothered about whether should I use a smart object or not! you cleared my doubts! Hugs♥

[@MelArmstrong]

You’re welcome! I use smart objects for everything. 😃

[@aliceus3315]

I have been making patterns in illustrator since 2017 and I had a project where images are raster and you helped me a lot.

[@MelArmstrong]

Oh yay! So glad it was helpful for you!

[@bychristineharris6485]

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. My pattern in Photoshop is cutting off when I try to add it to a larger document to create wrapping paper. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?

[@circeoropeza]

You saved my life! 😅 A client was asking for a file with movable elements but I usually work etirely in Procreate delivering croped tiles... I've learned something new and super useful. THANKS!!!

[@MelArmstrong]

Awesome! I’m so glad I could help!

[@GinDasCreative]

this Pattern Preview sounds amazing for my that i wand to make textures for my game. now i have to download new Photoshop's version in the order to have this tool.

[@MelArmstrong]

Pattern Preview is great, but you can create repeat patterns without the Pattern Preview tool. I have a couple of tutorials in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLjSk2wjeDqg26b6Op27o3yxzXa24z-lQ5

[@MelArmstrong]

You’re very welcome!

[@gemmalarkham691]

Thankyou for this!!

[@MelArmstrong]

No problem 😊

[@honeymirouwi]

Can we automaticly change the space and size of the pattern?

[@ivanagavran5959]

I'm sorry, this may be a stupid question (I'm new to all of this), but how do you make pattern objects? I mean, you obviously paint them, but do you export each object (e.g. a birdie) individually and without any background?🙈

[@MelArmstrong]

Yes I draw them individually. I mostly use Procreate on my iPad, then send them over to Photoshop to create the pattern with Pattern Preview. This video shows my process: ruclips.net/video/yDZitOgh47I/видео.htmlsi=d8gRWULdxQl0h-2X

[@Fksshbsjsj]

When I press pattern preview I still have the one picture in the middle and that is all.please help!! What I do wrong?

[@TimiDesign]

thanks,

[@MelArmstrong]

You're welcome!

[@cathychats]

but what if I want to export it as a larger size? so not just the pattern but a bigger size of the pattern?

[@claudianoren]

Thanks! :)
