Guest Easton Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Help Ladies---Please,please can someone tell me the easiest way in PSE to take as an example a small circle and fill the page with the same small cirlce in straight little lines and all organized. i have been multilpying layers and placing them here and there and it looks crummy. Thanks so much in advance for any help you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betsy Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 The key to this is to use Edit>Pattern. Here's what I do: Start a 1x1" new canvas. Make the shape or stripes or whatever I want. Let's use a circle as the example. Draw my circle, color it how I want, center it. Then go to Edit>Pattern (Or maybe it's Define Pattern or Pattern Somethingorother, I can't remember off the top of my head). Save it. Then go to your larger canvas, your LO sized canvas. Click on the bucket in the toolbar, and before you click on the LO, look at the top, under the File/Edit, etc. bar, where it says "Foreground." Use the pulldown bar and change that to "Pattern." Then, in there, find your newest pattern, and click in the canvas with the bucket tool. Now you have the exact same circle all over the page. You can change the color of any of them one at a time by using the bucket fill (Switch it back to "Foreground"). HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betsy Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I tend to write a lot to make these things as clear as possible, but really, this ends up being very simple after you've done it once or twice. DeeZee - does any of that look familiar? I'd imagine PSP has similar functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Easton Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Betsy-You sister have just rocked my digital world. That is so easy and so slick--thank you -thankyou. I have one other aching question--Brushes!!!! Do they download into PSE? I can't seem to figure that one out. Thanks so much---you guys are the best!

Betsy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Depends on what brushes you find, if they are compatable with PSE3 - some will only work in full-blown PSCS/PSCS2. When you download anything off the web, you tell it where to save when you get that pop up window. Anything you download is going to default to a folder on your C drive. Some brushes will need to be unzipped, some won't. To get them to work in PSE, you need to move the .abr file out of that original folder, unzipped, into the Adobe>Photoshop Elements>Presets>Brushes folder.

Guest DeeZee Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I know PSP can do it, I just have to find the correct command. I'll play with it in a bit here .... I'll figure it out. Thanks for asking, Easton... I learn so much from everyone's questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][post="18218"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] deezee, did you figure it out. actually it is a lot easier in psp. just make your one design, circle, group of dots, stripe, whatever. open up a new canvas or make a selection in a current one. go to your fill tool, choose pattern and it is there already. you can make a fill out of ANY file (or a selection in a file) that is open.
