Thanks for these lace patterns! They seem to be just the thing thatI have been looking for. I built scale models of lowrider cars, these patterns will turn into decals for those models.

@lovable hamster: Wow, that’s an odd one. Are you on a Windows or a Mac?

I’d suggest doing a search for “presets” and letting Windows/Mac OS find it for you. It sounds like you may not be in the right place, maybe some temp folders or something?

Wonderful Tutorial! I’m just moving from GIMP and Paint.net to Photoshop and have been totally intimidated — until now. You’ve got a clear writing style that I can follow and love that your asides give explicit directions to new users without leaving me feeling stupid. Even for folks using CS4, this was a great lesson.

ok..

downloaded the image pack..extracted…placed folder in the gimp patterns folder..Opened Gimp, opened Flames1.jpg…clicked “Save as”…changed the file extension to “.pat”….Went to the patterns menu and clicked “Refresh Patterns”…

And Flames1.pat is now available…

Time consuming to change each one…but it does work for all those having problems with Gimp….

Thank you Stephanie..

Thank you..I will try that…

I am not really a Gimp user either, but I’m hoping it
will work…

@Erik: I’ve heard varying stories about Photoshop patterns working with GIMP. Some people claim that they do NOT work, ie, GIMP has not added functionality for Photoshop PAT files yet. A few others have told me that they DID get them working, but I’ve heard more that they do not.

However, what you CAN do is download the “Image Pack” that I make available with my patterns, and use those to make your own patterns. They’re just the JPG files, and you’ll have to open them up and make them into GIMP patterns (not sure how to do that, sorry – not a GIMP user) for usage that way.

Best of luck!

K…Gimp 2.6.7 user here…

I’ve downloaded the brushes successfully..Looks great..

I am however having trouble with the patterns..

I’ve downloaded and unzipped, and the folder is in the “patterns” folder..

The patterns did not show up when I started Gimp, so I went to Patterns menu and refreshed the patterns and got the following messages:

“Failed to load data”. Failed to open file. Permission denied

“Failed to load data”. Couldn’t recognize the image file format for the file.

“Failed to load data”. Fatal parse error in pattern file. Unknown pattern format version 65536.

Something simple turned into something complex…any help would be appreciated..
