How to Make a Repeatable Pattern in Photoshop

[@thefantasyraider]

Every time I see a new tutorial by Phlearn I squeal like a 15 year old, Never imagined I'd love photoshop tutorials to this extent lol

[@9876Hossam]

Man you're the best :D you target professionals and beginners in the same time with a very entertaining way. Thanks , bro

[@lozero]

why not use the "offset" filter ? it's way easier I feel... that way you have the 2 lines at the center and you can work on them directly

[@rtitusz]

+lo zero I was thinking the same...

[@fwaters39]

+lo zero Wss going to comment the exact same thing.

[@ArtByLukeW]

+lo zero Came to make the same comment. Offset tool is a million times easier.

+lo zero Indeed, the offset filter is the easiest way to do it. Of course, the method shown in the tutorial is not wrong by any means, though, just somewhat unnecessarily complex.

[@vitaliyhavrylyuk1327]

+lo zero 3D artists are used to this sort of texture work and offset is the tool to use.

[@ushergold5149]

Thanks a lot for all your amazing tutorials, you are definitely one of the top Photoshop teachers!As a young designer who's learned a lot from you I'd love to have you teach us Illustrator and InDesign too.

[@cgcowboy]

Love the outtakes! The WTH was hysterical!

[@roberto.freitas]

The Threshold part is the best part. Blew my mind.

[@Rick_Cleland]

Nice Video. p.s. Your beard is starting to look epic.

[@jackjackloftus1245]

+RickCleek Retaliation won't do it. He's most likely just having a bad day. Problems in his own life :/

[@jackjackloftus1245]

***** wtf was that comment

[@newbloodrapper]

i love these tutorials, but mostly i just love the out-takes at the end :p

[@becky7008]

awesome tutorial and happy to keep u company! 😀

[@ValerieBellamy]

Awesome tutorial. Thank you! Sp many practical applications for this.

[@LambdaHDvideo]

Can you do something like this with grass textures or sg like that, or is it not possible to do the edges well?

[@TimZarra]

great one Aaron, so good it could have been a pro tutorial!

[@kacperwitek4645]

Another super cool episode! Keep it up!

[@littlekinz]

You can use offset filter for the last step

[@garnethusky911]

While you are fixing the lines, would it help to use the layer's "Lock opacity" option?

[@niloufarmoradi6974]

an excellent tutorial, Thanks very much

[@ekspresija101]

very useful lesson. Thanks for sharing.

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Handy to know this but what is the offset filter and how do you use that Aaron?

[@Hilde_mann]

I would have used the offset filter method as well. So you actually see directly what you're doing. To even out the lights and darks I normally just duplicate the texture (before using the offset filter), invert and desaturate the new layer, use a gaussian blur with a pretty high radius, and set the layer to overlay-/soft light blending mode. It's very easy and you've got a perfect base to work with... :-)

[@sukossje5597]

Hey, you're my favorite person in the whole world. Thank you for everything you do for us. Also that damn beard, looks so good. Have a good day!

[@Racysuits1]

Quick question about the size of patterns when they are saved vs the size they show up when you use them for a fill layer. If I create a seamless pattern that is 3" x 3" and save it to my preset manager. When I go to use the Fill Layer > Pattern, shouldn't my pattern reflect that 3x3 size at 100% scale. At the moment when I use my pattern as a fill layer it is much bigger than 3x3 at 100% scale. The pattern shows up as 12" x 12" at 100% scale. Any ideas why this is happening. I work in textile patterns so the scale of the file I send to digital printers is very important.

[@TheDannyB2003]

The last blooper kills!

[@baryafe]

Thank you so much. Very useful !! I love Aaron's ring! where is it from?

[@jeremy143bezi]

fantastic tutorial. would you make with wood grain pls. its seems hard

[@zgrooms1010]

Awesome one dude.

[@andrewwylam]

The one thing i would ask why do you not use the offset filter at the last stage is their a good reason? although i have used the copy paste an image and tiling by hand i have also tried mirroring the images and tile together for a larger area of wood! or marble so that i get the largest sample of pattern repeat The cad program will tile any proportion image so with most wood finishes you need the length on the pattern repeat (not the height so much ) of the image I had been having trouble with colour balance and shading over an area looked very good on the screen at the start . ( I have been making up Appearances for a 3D CAD program tiled jpeg files all done withing the cad program ) But i have found even when taking the photos my self out side on an bright but overcast day very soft light the image looks good until l try to tile them but the more tiled objects you get in the finished image the more the faults show up This techniques give you a lot more control than some of the other i have tried out sofar !

Dude I just found your channel two days ago. This channel is so good and sick. Where do you get all the awesome pictures from?

[@VictorTheLegend]

+DXTRO most of the pictures he gets on stock footage sites, like photolia.com

[@9876Hossam]

fotolia as long as I remember

[@davinciunmannedproductions8407]

+DXTRO hes also a photographer. but for anything in the recent year hes been using photolia.

[@9876Hossam]

+DaVinci Up Photolia 😂 well played

[@jacek_poplawski]

Very interesting tutorial. BTW isn't better to clone only on center rectangle to avoid syncing two sides?

[@MurraySevern_of_Australia]

As others have said, using the Offset Filter would be much easier to do the seam removal, and you don't need to stretch the canvas and make a copy of the image to place it against opposite edges to check the work.

[@delrealjonathan]

hi, man thanks for all your videos, the best of the best i love it, can you teach us how to take a pic of a ring or earring? or something very small with the shadows?

[@nepro100man]

Great video, thanks!

[@vibrametal]

Amazing tutorial

[@Raxusprime_]

Hey Aaron, wanted to know if you could start doing more hands on tutorials of photography, not just photoshop? I'd love to see some new techniques that you use when shooting.

[@TorontosTerrestrialReefs]

Can you do a geometric pattern tutorials please :) Like ones commonly used as phone backgrounds and stuff. Thanks and great vid!

[@mikegrafixtm1997]

unbelievable!!! thank you!!!

[@febskeeh0226]

What pen tablet are you using?

[@IAMCUBEMAN]

I know in GIMP, there is an option called, "Make Tileable". Does photosphop not have this?

[@Kamelagrebi]

Thanks, also you can do that with content-aware

[@chrismarehonor2593]

Hi, my name is Marianne and I am a beginner photographer. I'm glad I found your channel since I found a lot of useful stuff here. Today I have a question and it's not about Photoshop, but I didn't know where to post it. Hope you don't mind. Here's my question: When my camera is in manual mode and my flash is in TTL mode do I still have to set aperture, ISO and shutter speed for ambient light on the camera or will the camera take care of it automatically? Thank you very much in advance, I would really appreciate if you get back to me as I have nobody else I could ask. Marianne

[@KeoVichet]

thank man, i learn alot today

[@ValokuvaajaAriSuonpaa]

Hello! Where do i can send a question about editing? I would like to know, how to do clouds in photoshop. And whit clouds i mean clouds from above. How can i do those, or can you make a tutorial for it? =)

[@jamieshill520]

Awesome! Could you guys do a video of Leto edit the Milky Way to get the most detail in the stars but with less noise? I shot the Milky Way recently at ISO between 2000-5000 with a canon 70d and it looks ok but there's still lots of noise even when printing at 5x7 thanks!

[@hoskinskid48]

that intro was on fleek

[@eshaanjadhav4943]

Hey! I love your videos, but can you do one showing how to take a cool car or something and then adding it to a cool background? That would free me of SOO much research!!! Thanks for your time :)

[@isaiahj.m.g8576]

Hey buddy how r u. real quick where can i download amazing photoshop brush. Txs😊 by the way u rock for real one of my favourite channels ever keep it up. 👏👏👏👌✌️

[@andrearusky]

There is a more simple method to make the seamless edges (left to right - top to bottom). By using the command: Filter\Other\ Offsets... (with the option "wrap around enabled". You basically first offset to one side (is the image is 1000pixels you offset 500pixels) you remove the seams and then offset again to move it back to the original position. Then the same thing but vertically

[@bijendersinghshekhawat6842]

thi is very useful for me when i am developing web site... than bro...

[@stefan6642]

Great tutorial as always! If you watch this and consider it complex, just watch a ton of PHLEARN videos and play around in PH, and it will be easy for you to follow along very soon :)

[@MazinMorsi]

Hi Aron, I really like your tutorials, I watched most of them and I learned a lot , but can I ask about something? what if you make tutorials about photography lightning ? its gonna be amazing , and I think a lot of people need it, Thanks anyway

[@artist1758]

u r d best. thank you.

[@LightningShard]

Repeatable patterns are great for textures for 3d models.

[@michaelafanasiev2318]

Aaron you are great! :) "Switch me to pixels......what the hell??!!" xD

[@CHOWIXCHANNEL]

thanks

[@nathan1922]

i needed this tutorial like 2 days ago;-;

[@cocolonger]

Great video IMO

[@rahatasmr]

You da real mvp

[@TheAlexLHP]

Would really like to see a tutorial where you remove a strong sun from for example a landscape picture!

[@official360news]

Well tutorial

[@dimitri2235]

Can you make some animations tutorial please?

[@Maetschll]

Thanks.

[@markmakarenko5321]

Cool!

[@arjum5772]

nice

Nice tutorial BUT... manual tiling... NO! You should have used Filter/Other/Offset. Move it up and left for 500px and than you would have cross in the middle that needs to be fixed with clone tool. ;)

[@goodguyali]

What was the front he uses in the vid?

[@RussellTeapot]

+ALI- A the front? maybe it's a typo, probably you meant "font"?

[@goodguyali]

yeah sorry for that, i meant the font he was using to write on the picture

[@goodguyali]

And thanx for the info❤

[@RussellTeapot]

just realized that the sentence "It's a little difficult to tell exactly what font it is, if you don't know already what it is" it's a little dumb: obviously if you know what font it is, you don't have to identify that :D

[@lastlight05]

Glad I'm not the only one who has those simple "what the hell?" moments every now and then.

[@Argyll9846]

Very complex way of creating a repeating pattern. Offset with clone stamping is much easier.

[@angelheart0212]

It looks like pen tablet is very USEFUL ..... I want that ....

[@MarkNiceyard]

Second half is going to be far more easy if you make a pattern of 2 by 2, smoothen the middle "crossline" and then just make a selection of the center of the 2 by 2 pattern.

[@facts8639]

PLS HOW TO REMOVE BRACES !!!! :) I like ur vids much

[@GewoonHighDefinition]

+Facts Yeah do it Pls !!!!

[@sandramerrick8126]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gorvic1]

my grandmother wears the same ring!

[@wassupman911]

Stupid question; what is the undo command on the keyboard?

[@Evliveoyuncu]

Ctrl and z

[@carmelotizzone]

So Aaron when are you going to Retire the Coffee mug and replace it with a Candle :D

[@ragtop63]

Didn't know you could sample an empty layer with clone stamp :)

[@HongKong1842]

The most difficult one and hard to re-apply so far.

[@JMHSPhoto]

If 2 trains left New York a the same time, traveling the same speed...... WOW...

[@ChuckNorris-bf5cj]

Inches to Pixels.... Aaron, at least we now know that you are mortal :)

[@MySpace662]

What is the purpose of making a repeatable pattern if it's not visible.

[@raindropsneverfall]

+My Space| To give the background some texture. There shouldn't be too much texture because it would detract from the focal points: the pin-up girl and the title.

[@Mr_B.]

.. this beard things is going out of control :) just kidding! nice video! :D

[@MxTheArtOfMx]

#OffsetFilter. Eitherway, thanks for the share

[@Enoughyoufool]

I wish i could grow a beard like that.

[@TRCFL]

It's always the things which seem inherently simple, which turn out to be the most work. I'll just stick to putting beards on people, much easier. Jokes aside, I finally see where I was always failing when it came to tiling textures. Thanks.

[@IvanRamirez-bg9jd]

Segundo comentario

[@Biibop-cd3mh]

I'm really not digging little advertisements inside the video. It's really distracting.

[@kenmorris2858]

I love Phlearn and Aaron Nace is amazing and along with Glyn Dewis and Bert Monroy, one of the better Photoshop educators on youtube. I usually find Phlearn videos highly enlightening and very entertaining but this video was a complete bore. Sorry, but I could not watch this and opted out with less then 10 minutes left. Sorry to be negative but I felt I must be truthful....

[@9876Hossam]

scarey intro lol

[@Ruthlessbone]

What the fuck happen to you, Aaron? We haven't seen anythung recently bro.

[@TheWaguilaS]

dude you forgot to shave or whut

[@ediblebeautyofartnouveau]

Aaron you dont need to do Tutorials for super-dumb people. Almost everyone here has already used Photoshop, you dont have to step by step explane how to delete something outside a selection. and actually its not this complexe, so dont repeat this so often, its starting to get arrogant.

[@KseniaStar]

This is the worst method I ever saw. This is why offset exist.

[@emrahy.849]

TOOO MUCH ...useful but not for me :)

[@shelleybelly3000]

Not trying to be mean but please trim or shave your beard..😬ok
