Bill Rosener: Hello, this is Dr. Bill. Welcome back in this video you learned how to create a pattern fill using adobe Photoshop. We'll be taking a map of United States, and fill in the various States with various patterns, like the other exercises and assignments. So you can either use the images I'll provided. Use your own images or find download an image using your favorite search engine, and for that reason I've gone ahead and provided you kind of 2 sets of patterns, one for film, this particular image, and then a second set
Bill Rosener: you have a different or larger image. So the very 1st step you want to do is press on the assignment. 30 subdirectory.
Bill Rosener: You would then press on U.S.A. map if you wanted to use this one and save it. If you're gonna be using this image. I would then recommend going to a small patterns and downloading these images. I've got one large one here, just so I can show you what would happen if we try to insert a really large image into this U.S.A. map.
Bill Rosener: If you're going to be using your own images, you might want to come over here to a large pattern and download these. Okay. Now that we know what we want to do, let's get started here.
Bill Rosener: So the very 1st step here is you're going to open up a U.S.A. map.
Bill Rosener: and I've own I've already got a few of these other images saved, and so maybe the very 1st step, I say, well, let's just start with a pattern 5.
Bill Rosener: Here was pattern 5. Let's assume we wanted to get this pattern inserted into several these states. So all you need to do is open up the image. I could see this. Can my active image, if I want. I can select this image, but I don't even need to do that. I can. Just as long as that image is open I can come right up here to edit, and I can come down to define pattern edit, define pattern.
Bill Rosener: And I'm just gonna leave the default name pattern 5 dot. Jpeg.
Bill Rosener: okay. Now I'm gonna come back to U.S.A. map. I could go ahead and use my magic wand.
Bill Rosener: pick a few states. If you wanted. You could change the tolerance there. I'm just gonna randomly pick a few states here.
Bill Rosener: And at this point I could come right up here and choose edit.
Bill Rosener: And I could choose the fill.
Bill Rosener: and there's a really good chance. Your fill is currently on foreground color. So you'd want to simply change that from foreground color down to pattern.
Bill Rosener: And now that pattern that we just added, if we go ahead and press on this little down arrow under custom patterns, scroll way down to the bottom, there should be that new pattern that you just created and press. Ok.
Bill Rosener: and just like that, we have filled in those states. Okay, now let me show you?
Bill Rosener: Why, patterns have to match in size. So if I took a look at here is I'm gonna right. Click on this one. Actually, I just position. My cursor over here. I can see it 750 pixels by 400 if I was to open it.
Bill Rosener: Here is the size. Okay?
Bill Rosener: Whereas if I went here to small patterns, I'll start with this one right here. I'm gonna right click on this one. I'm gonna go open with and windows photo viewer. And we can say, Okay, these images are about. They're gonna fit inside that
Bill Rosener: map in the end of it, in any state there.
Bill Rosener: except
Bill Rosener: for this one, and that's my pattern, one large. And so I am going to show you this one as well. And what would happen if we tried to insert that.
Bill Rosener: So I'm gonna come back here to my 1st one. Anytime I see those March dance. I typically you select that.
Bill Rosener: And so the 1st step. Here, let's go ahead, and I'm gonna show you the bad kind of what would happen if we tried to insert this pattern into there. So I can see this. It's selective. It's my active image. I can come right up here to edit. I can come on down to define pattern. And I'm just gonna call this one pattern one large dot. Jpeg.
Bill Rosener: okay, now, let's come back here to our map and let's pick using the magic wand. We'll pick a few states here
Bill Rosener: on the shift key down
Bill Rosener: to grab them.
Bill Rosener: and maybe one more. Now let's come up here to edit
Bill Rosener: Phil.
Bill Rosener: Edit film.
Bill Rosener: using the pattern.
Bill Rosener: Come on down. And now we're gonna pick let me see that cursor. If that pops up there
Bill Rosener: there it is. Finally pattern one large dot. Jpeg, I'm not even sure that it comes across in the screen recording or not. But anyway, hit okay.
Bill Rosener: And you're maybe looking and you're going. What is that I've got part of a lemon, maybe a little leaf here. I hardly got anything in Iowa. So what happened? Those is trying to take that big pattern, you only get in a portion of it.
Bill Rosener: So, therefore, for that reason the patterns have to kind of match in size as
Bill Rosener: where they're going to be placed. Now let's go ahead and take a look at this pattern small.
Bill Rosener: and this one. If I came up here to image image size, it's 100 by 100 pixels.
Bill Rosener: So let's go ahead and add this. I'm gonna come right up here to edit.
Bill Rosener: Go ahead and choose. Define pattern. I'm just going to leave it. The small name here and press. Ok, pattern one small and okay.
Bill Rosener: Now let's come back to the U.S.A. map.
Bill Rosener: Let me go ahead and pick a few more states, maybe California and maybe even Texas. Maybe I'll come over here and grab a couple more States. Now I'll call that good.
Bill Rosener: Now I'm gonna come right up here to edit
Bill Rosener: Phil.
Bill Rosener: and I'm going to be choosing pattern. Come down. And now I'm going to pick this last one which I just added the pattern, one small, 100 by 100 and press. Ok, and that's probably more realistically of what you thought you were going to get. You took that pattern and you inserted it. So you're going to find that with patterns like the size of the pattern needs to pretty well match
Bill Rosener: where you the location, to try and insert that in. Let me do one more just to get you started here. So here's Pattern 2. I can see kind of some pink
Bill Rosener: if I zoomed in a little bit.
Bill Rosener: Yeah, it's not looking too much better again. Now, all these images I keep really small. Just so you're not filling your hard drive up. Or if you email them, or
Bill Rosener: it might error up, upload them. It's gonna be much quicker here. So 1st up here I would just come up here to edit.
Bill Rosener: I would choose define pattern
Bill Rosener: pattern 2. Okay. Yep, adder. 2 dot Jpeg.
Bill Rosener: Then I'd come right back to my map.
Bill Rosener: I'd go ahead and use my magic wand. Take a few States.
Bill Rosener: and I'll come right up here to edit
Bill Rosener: Phil.
Bill Rosener: I can see, it's the pattern.
Bill Rosener: Come on down and choose this new pink with stripes on it
Bill Rosener: and press. Ok.
Bill Rosener: okay? And just like that, I filled those states with a different type of pattern.
Bill Rosener: Well, hopefully, in this video, we learned how easy it is to insert a pattern fill within an image. And I'll catch next, video. Thanks. A lot.
