  • 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

see all
