Whew! perfect! thank you so much

[@karynmoffatt7278]

fabulous! great pace and beautiful result!!

[@TJHarley]

Thanks for sharing. One caveat I would mention is to make sure your foreground and background colors are set to black and white. If they are anything else the clouds and fibers won't work correctly. I accidentally had mine on gray and white and couldn't figure out why the effect was appearing so subtly. This fixed it.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thanks for sharing, that’s very helpful advice 😊

[@SombuddhaDas]

i was facing the same problem , thank you for mentioning it.

EXCELLENT -- Thank you soo much Mercedes. You should be awarded!! Blessings!

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Awe, thank you I appreciate that. 😊

[@milou66]

Agh. I was so stuck on this because I started off with a green chalkboard background. I couldn't figure out why my artwork was black surrounded by white. It eventually dawned on me that the three black adjustment layers must of course be green for a green board. Thank you!

YOURE THE BEST THANK YOU

[@PaulSanchez-fr]

[@kenthefley2226]

[@MarleneP]

A bit tricky but yields a beautiful result, and I love that I can now use it as a template. Thank you for this.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

So glad it was helpful 😊

[@peterevans5462]

Thank you, I've been trawling you tube for a blackboard and chalk effect in PS. So far yours is the best I've found by far. :) I followed along exactly and the text i "chalkified" using your method looks great and I really like how easy it is to swap out and change artwork/text and tweak the filters etc. A template was just what I was looking for. I'm really impressed with to depth and clarity of your content and your no nonsense concise approach. You have a new subscriber and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from your vids.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thank you so much for the compliment I’m so glad to know this helped 😊

[@loscharritos5423]

Its awesome- Exactly what I was looking for. My only concern (and defeat!) is at minute 9:32 when you say "option from the keyboard and alt from the pc...) I have a Mac and couldn't get this last part- But so far it was a success coming this far..!! Thank you so much

How do I import the downloaded pattern to PS? the dark wall pattern is in PNG format but we can only import patterns to Photoshop in PAT format.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

You can add it like any other png image by embedding it via the file menu or just click, hold, and drag it from your file window to the Photoshop canvas.

[@hakanboyaci7123]

Thank you for helping but I cant choose Smothing--> Stroke Catch Up, I cant click... why?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

What part (time stamp) of the video is that? If filters are not working make sure you are in RGB and working in 8bit some filters won’t work otherwise

[@MySoulScreamin]

Hi what the combination in 5:50 ?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

To create a clipping mask press and hold alt/option. With your mouse hover between the layers you want to clip when you see the down arrow click.

[@debbieotto2004]

awesome! thank you. would love to know how to get that pattern into PS though lol ugh I guess that's another tutorial

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Can you let me know what part you’re referring to (time stamp) I want to help but I want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing, thanks.

[@bonzsuarez5644]

Thanks!

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

You’re welcome 😊

[@briaskye2543]

I’m having trouble downloading the texture you used, it’s downloading as a JPEG instead

[@nicolasharoutiounian4542]

how upload a png image in pattern mode ?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

I’m not sure I understand, I had the PNG image in Libraries. I just click and drag it to the canvas.

[@debbieotto2004]

@@PrettyWebzMedia I can drag it to the canvas but then what?! I does not let me treat it like a pattern to change it to screen, 100, 300 etc. what am I missing

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Dragging the png to the canvas does not make it a pattern. In order to do that you have to save the as a pattern. Anything visible on your canvas will be turned into a pattern by going to Edit>>define pattern, name and save. Once you save it as a pattern you can work with it the way you want.

How to download the brush?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

The brush example is from Photoshop default brushes, you can load them from the brush panel click the three lines on the top right corner and choose "legacy brushes" to load them.

[@animefreak3010]

Alt delete to make a layer black unlike what she said (ctrl backspace) on pc for anyone else that went as crazy as me trying to figure that out

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thanks for clarifying this for those who didn’t understand. If you use alt+delete (pc) option+delete (Mac) it will fill with the foreground (top) color. Ctrl+delete (pc) command+delete (or backspace) will fill the canvas with the background (bottom) color.

[@philthepanic]

If for some mad reason you are working on a file that exceeds 30000 pixels on one side, Clouds will be greyed out. Hopefully someone will find this comment handy!

[@SonSaladin]

Variance doesnt do anything. It's just black.

[@zezinhonew2011]

How to download the brush?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

The brush example is from default Photoshop brushes. If you are in 2020 you can load them from Window>>brushes go to the gear icon and choose “legacy brushes”
