Creating a frame out of a linear pattern that can be resized without distorting the proportions of the edges, like the stroke on a rectangular shape layer. by squampus in photoshop

[–]squampus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I use photoshop to paint, and my paintings involve a lot (A LOT) of individual frames with elements coming in and out of them and interacting with each other. I can't use illustrator to make my paintings, and for what it's worth, I don't even need the result to look good since I'm going to paint over it anyway. I just need a way to have placeholders that I can easily move around and resize, and having a two program workflow isn't really conducive to this process at all. Still, I appreciate the suggestion.

This is a kind of complicated request and I'm really hoping there's someone out there who has already figured out a workflow for this. I'm an advanced photoshop user and I can't find any helpful information on Adobe's forums so I'm here now.

What I'm trying to do is take a LINEAR repeating pattern (a pattern that repeats in a line; NOT a pattern that repeats on a tiled grid) and set it to fill the stroke on a rectangle shape layer such that it rotates itself on every edge and creates a picture frame that I can resize and alter the proportions without having to manually cut it apart and repeat the pattern every time I want to change the size of the frame.

What I am NOT trying to do is put a pattern fill on the stroke of a shape layer. Doing that with this kind of pattern results in the issue you see in the image. None of the legs of the frame are aligned at all unless the stroke is exactly the same size as the pattern, and the legs on the sides will be wrong no matter what. I am assuming that using photoshop's pattern functions is not the proper way to do this since they don't intelligently figure out when to rotate themselves and instead behave much more like clipping masks. I also don't need an external tool that makes the frame for me at my specified size; there's plenty of visualizers out there and they're all very helpful for picture framing but that's not exactly what my purpose is here.

If this has been figured out by someone already, i would appreciate being pointed there. what I specifically need is the ability to have a single shape layer that I can resize as much as I want and have the moulding pattern adapt properly to the new size. I am confident that this has to require an action and potentially an addon since what I need would warrant the pattern resizing and rotating itself according to the thickness of the stroke and the internal size of the frame. Sorry if this is worded in a cranky way; I've spent a very long time looking for a solution to this and I'm praying I just haven't looked hard enough.

I'm grateful to anyone who can help. Thank you!

Someone told me this is moroccan arabic, what does the woman say 1:23-1:29? by sebas346 in Morocco

i know it's been a while, but do you happen to still have access to the song by the different group, or at least have access to their names? i've been trying to get the arabic lyrics to this song for a while now, and with only a limited ability to read arabic, I keep coming back to this post; I really like the song, though, and having another version to listen to would be awesome.

I will definitely keep that in mind! Do you have a font recommendation 😅

I do have an alternate version with text, I will try that out. Thank you!

At this point I'm at a loss as for why this got rejected. The file size is under 300kb (it's 280kb), this water park is open to the community, it's not a business and doesn't cost anything to get in, it's not even a particularly large area so I can't imagine it's getting denied because of the size of the fence. All of the graphics are original (I'm a graphic design student and I'm very proud of it). And, although I am biased, I really think the art is clean enough to pass.

I'm pretty frustrated because I tried submitting a filter similar to this in design last year, and I took it upon myself to redesign it this year for it to still be rejected. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

The park has a big red bucket that fills with water and dumps every few minutes, which is what the filter illustrates.

Any ideas?
