Karl Works Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 is there any way to create and save patterns? I believe also referred to as arrays, I have found no way other than copy and duplicate, which is ridiculous way to try to work. creating patterns and seamless patterns in either Designer or Photo. ? thank you, karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 You can create bitmap patterns using an image, but you cannot save them. To add a pattern, use the Gradient Tool and choose the "Type" Bitmap. You then need to select an image from your computer and then you can tile it. Exporting your design as a bitmap first is recommended. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day!

superhaschi Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think you can save the pattern, if you create a style from the bitmap-filled object Quote MacOS Big Sur AD + AP + APub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I stand corrected. I didn't even pick up on the swatch indicator. I would've just copied the swatch in the past rather than reuse the bitmap if I've known that. One thing that is inconvenient about bitmap patterns is that stretching the shape the pattern is on will distort the tiles rather than to keep them in proportion.

As a test I tried to fill a document with this image: All I got was this kind of result: Not exactly what I'd call a pattern :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMl_fr Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Ok. I finally got it. You've got to create a shape an then fill it. And voila: Bri-Toon and Karl Works 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
