thank you for the video! what im interested now though is how to convert a jpg file to .csv so i can load them to custom shapes.. there are free vectors online but when i extract, they're on jpg and my cs5 cant read them :-(

@TheStr33tlife You might have to look for a vector trace application or an app that can do that - convert JPGs to EPS / AI and then use those in Photoshop and define them as a custom shape via the edit menu. You could always try and trace using the pen / path tools but a dedicated tool will probably be easier (find the applications or trial versions via the search say for 'vector trace' 'auto trace' etc as search terms

Where did you get all these nice patters from?

@dessanaira they are all created by the designs available on my site - but you can always create patterns etc with the default set of shapes
