Combining rosette shapes in Photoshop

The shapes can be combined in millions of different way. Though I mention Photoshop, the same approach can be used in other applications - in particular with the font sets. The rosette shapes are all vectors so can be used with any size of document - so they can be used with 100 x 100 or 5000 x 5000. The examples are fairly small

 

The shapes can be combined as shape layers as well as via the fill pixels option (set via the top control bar of Photoshop). If applied as a shape layer, the shapes have an added advantage of remaining as vectors and also they can be aligned and distributed - useful if you wish to create a more symmetrical rosette design. The shapes applied as layers can also be removed / deleted as required. You can also redefine them as a smart object and use smart filters (most of the Photoshop effects)

 

shape layer combination

 

The above examples shows two shape layers, the same shape, and using the alignment 'align vertical centers' and 'align horizontal centers' - the two rosettes can be combined into a single rosette shape. Sadly, the duplicate layer command does not allow for the use of the pathfinder controls to be used to combine the shapes (though understandable as the duplicated shape is just re-created on top of the current selected design).

 

To create the above as a single rosette custom shape, you need to just create the shape twice using the custom shape tool and select the add to path area button. One problem with this approach is that the shape cannot be aligned or distributed so you have to visually decide on the center of the original shape to create a symmetrical design with the second applied shape - once the shape has been combined, it cannot be moved relative to the original rosette.

An alternative solution to the above rosette combinations is just to use a separate application such as Illustrator and then re-copy the design back into Photoshop and then use the define custom shape command. The path has been both aligned and distributed and scaled as required and combined via AI's powerful pathfinder tools. Personally, a more useful solution would be for Photoshop to add a pathfinder feature that can combine shape layers into a single shape layer but there appears to be no way to do this. Using the merge commands do not preserve the vector shape layer.

rosette background

 

The above design was created in Photoshop using the custom shape in fill mode. The designs can be applied to any size, small or large and they can be used to fill an entire document with the rosette design.

 

rosette color

 

The rosette custom shapes do not have to be applied in a single color. The easiest way to apply them with a set of different colors is to apply the custom shapes and then change the color of the foreground color via the swatches palette - useful to create a consistent color scheme across an image

 

rosette shapes combined

 

The above design shows the rosette custom shapes combined - you don't have to apply a single shape, you can apply multiple shapes and overlay the designs to create a near infinite selection of unique designs that can be used in all your projects. The designs can also be re-colored, they don't need to be just sky blue

Rosette patterns

The shapes / brushes etc can be a great source for background patterns and textues. Simply apply (as above designs) and select the design and then use the edit define pattern command to save the pattern which then can be used as a fill layer or in layer effects
