PHOTOSHOP TEXTURE TUTORIAL Agate or Liquid Marble (((UPDATED))) How to make a pattern in Photoshop

In this Photoshop texture tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make an agate texture from scratch. Agate is a beautiful texture for backgrounds, textiles, phone cases, screen savers, planner covers, etc.
This is a liquid effect similar to liquid marble that has a stunning result when paired with gold inlays.
I'll show you how to work with the graphic interface and a few workarounds if you have problems with the liquify tool black screen. We'll also add a little interest to the Photoshop texture by adding design elements, noise, shine, and some layer adjustments to make the gold pop even more!

Instead of using the liquify tool for the streaking part in the beginning I'd recommend Filter>Blur>Motion Blur [Angle at 90 degrees, Distance 1000]. That can help prevent doing so much work in the liquify tool.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Great tip, thanks!

[@madankshatriya3565]

I tried it and its doesnt look good. With liquify you have to do additional work but its worth it

[@Encreate]

I think I got the fix for the black screen after Liquify! If you move the pixels a lot away from the actual canvas bounds while liquifying, it will turn black. Carefully moving the pixels a little outside the canvas bounds worked almost 100% for me. Didn't need to tweak the performance settings. By the way, your tutorials and videos are pretty amazing! Keep creating!

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thank you! This is a great tip, thanks for sharing, I'll definitely have to try it out!

[@Encreate]

@@PrettyWebzMedia You're most welcome. Please let me know your results.

Thanks for sharing this. It solved my black screen ☺️

Thank you I came to the comments looking for a solution.

[@Youtubervideos125]

I am using Photoshop CS6 and I don't have any problems following your lessons. Very interesting designs.

[@anjana1official]

Want to thank you for tutorials you are putting on youtube. All of your videos are clear and simple to follow.

[@HaniHanifah_aries]

so happy to see this channel! God Bless You 🥰🥰🥰

[@mandynelson4073]

I was watching this for like the 100th time today and I discovered something-- when you do liquify, if you use the pinch tool and make like a small size brush and brush it back and forth in zig-zags following the lines of the streaks, it makes them not as smooth and it looks more like natural rock!

[@michaelstele5871]

This is SUCH an awesome tutorial. I actually didn't have a clue how to increase the images DPI until today! Thanks! I'd like to try to do this with with various other colors - do I need to start with a transparent background?

[@SoothingMade]

Please provide a detailed video "How to Create Seamless Marble Texture For Tiling" Thanks. Very informative channel and waiting for your reply.

[@fantasticclaire9540]

Would have been helpful to provide the gold foil texture - since i got that far and see that i have another tutorial to do to make that!

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

You can find free gold textures on my website, check the description for those. I sometimes add supplemental assets for some tutorials but since the intended viewer of this channel is learning how to use design tools I thought the tutorial would be most helpful to that person.

Not yet but I will add it to my list

I've been searching for this type of agate texture tutorial for a long time. Thank you so much!! Can you make a tutorial to create a seamless vector liquid marble in illustrator. Struggling to make it repeatable in illustrator.

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thank you I’m glad this was helpful. I will add the Illustrator pattern repeat to my list 😊

[@sajejekyllhyde4647]

🙂 Thank you. I’m going to try this one last time, hopefully it works.

I hope so too!

Thank you

[@Hw-od8sd]

Great tutorial, im trying to follow these steps but my “pin edges” option is greyed out. How can I fix this? I’ve looked online and I tried enabling my GPU through preferences but still no luck.

[@parvinmozafari3173]

Phenomenal as usual

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thank you 😊

[@s-dyorindyorin-s149]

Perfect!

[@buttonsandbibs5684]

Your tutorials are incredible. Is there a way to make this a seamless image? Like in a half-drop repeat?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Yes, you can use the offset filter to make it seamless. To get rid of the seam the offset tool creates use the patch tool working in small sections. This is the best way I’ve found to make complicated patterns into seamless textures. With this one it will take some patience because of all the flowing lines.

[@HaniHanifah_aries]

i can't change mode in preference to normal mode, help. i stuck here.. im using windows

[@berlykingston7625]

where could I go and show a picture of an agate glitter pattern I purchased. I would like to learn how to design my own, but I can't seem to find the correct video. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

[@suzanne7651]

I love the work! Can you explain why after I select Photoshop > preferences > Performance > Drawing Mode: Normal, the image remains black? The marble effect does not appear

[@suzanne7651]

I figured it out!

[@T1ji]

Suzanne K what was the solution ?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

When you make the design in liquify, don't go too far outside the edges of the canvas. The further off canvas you push your design the less likely it is to render properly. Once it's black, you have to start over or command+z | Ctrl+z until you get back to your starting point before the liquify tool. Let me know if this is helpful 😀

[@ericad919]

Yes this fixed it thanks so much!111

[@omgthatscreative]

That worked thank you soo much ❤️❤️❤️

[@FREAK12111]

Can I flip that so it's horizontal instead?

How can we make it seamless repeat pattern?

Hi Mercedes I am a new subscriber. I am really enjoying your videos. I am wondering do you use a Wacom tablet and drawing pen to do your designs or are you using a Mouse the old fashion way?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Thanks for subscribing! I use a Wacom to speed up the process but this can be done with a mouse with the same results.

[@edwardhaberthur]

@@PrettyWebzMedia I finally bought myself a wacom tablet. Though still learning how to use it.

[@yopayne2783]

Great tutorial, thank you. Unfortunately I can’t select pin edges. Can anyone help? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you 😊

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

You don’t necessarily need pin edges, you can work from the center out to the edges of the canvas. Just don’t go too far outside the canvas or your results will turn black.

[@yopayne2783]

PrettyWebz Media thank you so much for replying. Will give it a go

[@yopayne2783]

PrettyWebz Media got it working now. My graphics processor wasn’t ticked in performance

[@Perfect_Creation]

[@Jamesbaxter33]

I can't adjust the pressure in the bloat tool. It's greyed out for some reason. :(

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Make sure you are on RGB 8 bit for starters, check your graphics preferences, I show you how to do that in the tutorial. Liquify is very sensitive on GUI and graphics card compatibility. If that doesn't help I found this from Adobe helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/filter-effect-issues.html

[@madankshatriya3565]

I'm having the same problem, screen turning black. I changed the advanced settings (preferences >performance > advanced settings > basic/normal) but still the screen is turning black. can you help me?

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Someone else mentioned that if you don't go too far off the canvas it won't turn black, it's worked for me. Give that a try and see if it helps. If you need to push it further go back into the liquify tool a second time.

[@madankshatriya3565]

@@PrettyWebzMedia thank you so much!! it worked 😌😌

[@IvieBlingtv]

I wanted to ask how did you do the gold circle like in the thumbnail

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

I show you how to do it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIiQi415pbiVebc the only difference is that I made the pattern larger than the design that way when I scale it doesn’t lose detail.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

0:50 I have published photos at 1 PPI. Makes no difference.

[@jameicehardy-mcintosh5547]

my streaks are not smooth they stay graining like the fibers when i apply the liquify, any suggestions? @prettywebz

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Reduce the variance and up the strength, try to get as much contrast as you can before you go into the liquify tool.

[@DoctrinaMateria]

It's doesn't work!((

[@PrettyWebzMedia]

Is it the liquefy filter? What’s not working for you?
