Patterns - opening and loading patterns in Photoshop

The star themed patterns set can be opened in a variety of ways. The star PAT format files are opened via the patterns palette in Photoshop. The PNG (or JPG) files are opened via the file open command in Photoshop or via the file place command (so the designs can be used as layers). The star pattern files can be located anywhere and can be accessed in Photoshop from any location; though the PAT files are best used via the presets patterns folder. All the star patterns are seamless tile designs for any size of work.

The star patterns for Photoshop and elements can be combined with other elements such as vector backgrounds

Modifying the source tiles

The star patterns can be used as is in Photoshop and psp but you can always edit the designs before use. Best to make a backup though before you do any work with the original designs. Edit the PNG files and use the define pattern command (edit menu in Photoshop) and use that design as a tile. As long as you avoid the seams, any changes to the patterns will mean the designs remain as patterns . You can quickly add shadow effects to the PNG designs as well as other paths, or re-color the tile designs and then define as a new pattern. A set of 100 patterns can be turned into millions of amazing designs. You can also save all the actions to a Photoshop action or script and then apply the same changes to numerous other pattern tile designs. If you open the same size of document as the tile design, you can also use the pattern layer designs as a source for new tiles - so if the tile is a 1000 x 1000 (hover over the pattern tile in the palette to see the size) and the document is 1000 x 1000 or multiples of that (2000 x 2000 etc), you can also use that to define and create new amazing tile designs.

Star patterns - layers in Photoshop

If you open the star PNG files via the file place command in Photoshop you can use the star designs as basic layers and the layers can be combined and merged and blended in 1000s of ways using the powerful blending modes (lighten, darken etc) in Photoshop and Photoshop elements. The star patterns can also be used as layers in Photoshop via the layer menu fill layer command and these also can be combined in millions of different ways. The star pattern layers can be used to create ever more complex pattern designs as well as even more amazing unique patterns for use in Photoshop (as well as other applications). With the star pattern layer, you can even scale the designs (the fill command can also be applied to a layer so the star patterns can be used with the new scripting features)

The star Photoshop patterns can be scaled to 10% or 50% etc as required as well as offset as required

The star Photoshop patterns can be used on a layer and as a layer the stars can be duplicated over and over to create a far more complex pattern design. The star patterns were then flattened and re-colored using the image adjustments color lookup

Patterns for Photoshop and convert to Photoshop styles

You can also use the star patterns via the layer style menu and the powerful pattern overlay. You can also use the patterns with the stroke section in the layer style dialog. The star patterns can also then be saved as permanent styles ASL format for future use

The star Photoshop patterns can be used on a layer and can be turned into a smart object, as a smart object you can apply Photoshop styles such as metal effects and gel effects etc

Patterns and transparency in Photoshop

Many of the star pattern sets for Photoshop include transparency - what use is that you may ask ?? well, you can combine the star patterns so much easier when they contain transparency. One star pattern can be placed above another and the lower stars can still be seen. If you don't want to use the transparency, you can quickly remove the transparency (it is a lot harder to add in). The star patterns can also still be applied as Photoshop layers / PSP layers etc and blending modes applied such as lighten and darken and difference. You can combine the same star patterns as well as different star patterns as well as other patterns to create ever more complex or simplicity to your designs.

Many different retro star Photoshop patterns are included in the sets, all can be applied as layers etc - the above design is a blue star design

Star patterns as brushes

The star pattern sets all include the patterns in PAT format but they are also in PNG format. The PNG format star patterns can be used as a great source for brushes. Easy to use, simply open the PNG star pattern file and then go to the edit menu and define brush. The design will lose any color. You can also, of course, apply effects to the star pattern or smudge or blur or apply black and white adjustments to create ever more unique star design brushes which can be used throughout Photoshop as well as PSP and other applications

Star patterns applying in Photoshop ?

You can apply the star patterns purely as layers, as pattern layers, via the scripted patterns, fills, pattern stamp brush layer styles pattern overlay, bevel textures etc. You can also use the star patterns PNG files as a source for brushes, displacement maps and more. Each of the tools mentioned here also have many different options so the star patterns can be applied as is but they can also be modified in 100s of different ways to create many different star pattern designs in Photoshop and Photoshop elements. For example, the new scripted patterns feature can apply the designs as random fills, along paths, in spiral designs, brick fills, cross weaves and more and even those different options include many different settings such as scaling and rotation and color and brightness settings
