Starnet — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:55:50 +0000

This month we prepared 63 free abstract textures, which are mostly composed from blurred photographs with added various effects and multiple layers.A lot of them are also based on patterns with added color gradients. When i was making these textures i wasn’t concerned with what will came out in the end. I just took a bad photograph and toyed with it in Photoshop. There will be three more packs of textures with similar concept in following months. You can download them here for free, but read up on our rules to make sure how you can use them.

Starnet — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:17:50 +0000

This time we are publishing a set of 5 colorful patterns that are mostly in bright and dark pink color.All patterns are 530×530px in size and can be put to good use for example Twitter backgrounds. They can also come in handy for various printing projects or website designs. You can change the color as you wish, just open the . jpeg file in Photoshop, ad the desired color, ad the preferred mode and save it as a pattern (Edit-Define Pattern). You can download the premade patterns below or get the Photoshop .pat file here.

How to install a pat. file

A pattern is usually an image that can be tiled seamlessly to create a pattern.Once you’ve downloaded a pattern, you will have to unzip it first. Than you have a .pat file that has to be installed in Photoshop in order to use it on your artwork.

First copy the .pat files into:

Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Presets\Patterns

To load a pattern set, first open Photoshop, go to the Patterns palette then click the small arrow in the top right corner and choose “Load Patterns”. Find the .pat file you have just copied to the Patterns folder in step 1, hit ‘open’ and select ‘Add’. Next time you open Photoshop, the new patterns will be in the pattern library already.

Today’s post is meant for retro vintage fans and this time its all about gray and green.The patterns are pretty large and so can be used greatly for any print or web project, and if they are to big for your needs, you can always make them smaller, but be careful about scaling to preserve tile-ability. You can also change their color and by using blend mode add a texture of your liking and re-save them as patterns.
