A set of Photoshop & GIMP patterns composed of various flames & fire textures. They are entirely seamless, and they’re all very high resolution.

does this pack work with illustrator cs2 and how do i “install” it?
I copy the file PAT file to the folder of swatches/patterns in illustrator but i cant find them in the program.
Thanks
@dcsscd: I don’t think it’ll work with Illustrator, nope. I don’t believe Illustrator can use patterns, or at least not PAT (Photoshop) patterns. However, there are ways to “import” the pattern, once placed, into Illustrator… I’m just not all that familiar with them, as I don’t use patterns much. Also, you could download the image pack, and use those – they’re just the JPGs I used to make the patterns, and – when placed together – will still be seamless.
They weren’t really made for Illustrator, though, nope.
so how would one add a layer style in photoshop elements? Are you able to in elements? Because I can’t find the button anywhere :S
@Kailey: I’m not sure about Elements and how to do it. However, I DO know you CAN do it. You’d be best off to search for “layer style photoshop elements” and see what you come up with. It may be called something else, even – in fact, if I remember right, it is – but doing that search should still net you some results.
Good luck, and sorry I couldn’t help! Been a while since I used Elements.
>< I can't get them to work. I dont know how to put them onto gimp. I tried using JB's method, but i couldn't make much sense of it, and it didnt work really. I searched on youtube for a tutorial on how to do it, but no luck :( I really want this!
@problemer: I’m not sure that you can use Photoshop PATTERNS with GIMP. You can with BRUSHES, but maybe not with patterns. Not that I know of, anyway. So, your best bet is to download the images, and look up how to make your own patterns in GIMP, then use those JPGs you downloaded to make them into GIMP patterns.
Voila!
Re Problemer: the easiest way to use PS patterns in GIMP (I’m using 2.6.7) is to download the image file, not the pattern file. Then unzip it and save the folder in your pattern folder in GIMP, just like you do for PS brushes.
Then, when you open GIMP, those new patterns will be available under Bucket Fill, Select Pattern.
This is because GIMP can turn most image types (jpg, gif etc) into patterns automatically as long as the images are in the Pattern folder in GIMP.
I just downloaded this pack of images, saved them in Pattern and they were all available for me when I restarted GIMP.
Hope this helps

I cant unpack the fire patterns from the zip
is the zip file damaged?
@Rob: I just tried it, and it worked for me. Perhaps your download was corrupted? Try downloading once more, and if you’re still having trouble, let me know and I can try emailing it if you’d like.
How do I create pattern from images? I downloaded and they were just image files.
@ViserExcizer: You downloaded the second link rather than the first one, then. The first download is patterns. The second is for people that can’t use patterns, and still want the images. Make sure you’re choosing “Download the patterns” :)
its not workin on cs3
I have CS3 and they work just fine. Where are you running into trouble?
i cant get the brushes i downloaded
I’m not sure entirely what you mean. These are patterns. I have instructions for installing both brushes and patterns in my sidebar, under “Getting Started”. Give those a shot, and let me know if you’re still having trouble – and what’s happening.
Hope this helps!
Thank-you for your generousity! Everthing works fine and I admire your creative community spirit. Continued success to you.
im trying to download but it just says conecting
It’s downloading for me, albeit fairly slowly. It may just be a temporary server error, try again in a bit?
If you can’t get it, I can email it to you.
Does your flames tutorial work on GIMP? :}
oops! sorry! I meant I downloaded your brushes on GIMP and wondered if the tutorial for creating realistic flames would work! :)
The concepts are still the same. GIMP should have most of the same features, but the way that you go about doing them in GIMP will be different. If you understand enough about GIMP to know what “equivalent actions” you’d have to take in GIMP rather than Photoshop (for example, if I say to make a new layer, as long as you know how to make a new layer in GIMP), then you should be able to follow it.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about GIMP, so I can’t help you beyond that. :(
Good luck!
Woo hoo! This is a gnarly pattern pack thank you, Flame goes well with anything
