Lace – Custom Photoshop Textures Walkthrough with Kelly Robitaille | PRO EDU

Hi everyone, welcome to another tutorial with me, Kelly Robitaille from PRO EDU. Today, I’m going to walk you through a custom Photoshop textures walkthrough using a video titled “Lace”. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create stunning and unique textures using Photoshop.

Texture plays a crucial role in design and photography. It adds depth, dimension, and visual interest to your work. By creating custom textures, you can personalize your design and make it stand out from the crowd. In this video, we will focus on creating lace textures, which are versatile and can be used in a variety of projects.

First, let’s talk about the tools and materials you will need for this tutorial. You will need a computer with Photoshop installed, a digital tablet (optional), and a collection of lace patterns or images. You can find lace patterns online or create your own by photographing lace fabric or using lace brushes in Photoshop.

Once you have gathered all the necessary materials, open Photoshop and create a new document. I recommend starting with a square canvas to create a seamless texture. Set the resolution to 300 dpi for high-quality prints. Next, import the lace pattern or image you want to use for this project.

Now, let’s dive into the fun part – creating custom textures. In this video, I will show you different techniques to manipulate the lace pattern and create unique textures. We will explore blending modes, layer styles, and filters to achieve the desired look.

One of the techniques I will demonstrate is blending modes. By changing the blending mode of a layer, you can create interesting effects and textures. Experiment with different blending modes such as Overlay, Soft Light, and Multiply to see how they affect the lace pattern. You can also adjust the opacity of the layer to control the intensity of the texture.

Another technique we will explore is layer styles. Layer styles allow you to add effects such as drop shadows, bevels, and glows to your texture. By applying layer styles to the lace pattern, you can enhance its appearance and create a more dynamic texture.

Lastly, we will use filters to further manipulate the texture. Photoshop offers a wide range of filters that can be applied to the lace pattern to create interesting effects. Experiment with filters such as Blur, Sharpen, and Distort to see how they transform the texture.

Throughout the tutorial, I will provide step-by-step instructions and tips to help you create stunning lace textures. Feel free to pause the video and follow along as we go through each technique. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different combinations of blending modes, layer styles, and filters to find the perfect look for your project.

Once you are satisfied with the texture, you can save it as a seamless pattern or use it as a background for your design projects. Custom textures add a personal touch to your work and set it apart from generic designs. By creating your own textures, you can showcase your creativity and skills as a designer.
