Excellent tutorial, I learned so much from it. Tiling and Patterns were always a mystery to me, thank you very much for this.

For me, it’s a very clear tutorial, very useful. I’m sure I will use these techniques with photos of my grand children. Bravo !

Another excellent tutorial and once again I come away with ideas for my projects. Thanks for continuing to offer tutorials that aren’t necessarily tied to one version of the program.

This is an excellent tutorial! I learned so much from a very simple, easy to understand and follow video. Many applications of these techniques. Great! Thanks!

Am having trouble viewing the video. It says Windows Media Player can not play this video. I tried following the cheatsheet and find that when I click the bounding box off in step 6, the entire image disappears. I’m using Elements 10 and 11 with Windows 7. So, now, I guess I’m needing some help to figure out what I’m not quite getting right. If you have information as to getting the video to play, I would also appreciate that information.

Hi-
Loved the video. I do have two questions– 1) how do you change the color of the pattern itself? I see where to change the background color and you refer to changing the color of the pattern (from black) but I can’t find it. And 2) in the last example you showed (the card with the baby), how did you frame the text box and make the background opaque? Can’t find how to do either so if you could share the answers, would greatly appreciate!
Thanks!

I really enjoyed this video. However, I was hoping to learn how to make the pattern with the colors shown on your introduction. Is there a trick to coloring the pattern or just coloring individual sections?

I found this tutorial fun but have a problem! When I was using Elements 10 it worked perfectly now I have changed to Elements 11 when I pull out the custom shape in the blank file it appears on a layer mask. When I then select the move tool or click on the green tick mark it disappears.
I can only assume that the settings are wrong in 11 somehow. Cn you help?
