Tutorials

 

Tutorial 1]

Gradient pyramid tile and red factor

1) Default pyramid plug-in setting, a central pyramid design

2) Set the horizontal center to 230, moves the pyramid to the left

3) Set the blending mode / output option to tile2. This generates a pattern tile from one of the four corners of the pyramid image. The tile option can be used with any setting and effects mode, useful for creating 1000s of different pattern designs. The pattern can then be imported into the Photoshop pattern library via the define pattern command

4) Set the red factor to 200, the pyramid is now twice as red. The other color channels are unchanged.

5) End result
