Mastering Half-drop Repeat: Photoshop's Smart Objects Revealed

hi mel. Thank you for the clear instruction. I have a question ^ ^ hope you can help me with. i've done some half-drop patterns on procreate before and want to use it in photoshop. Is it possible to set them as a half drop or I have to move things around again? Thank you ;)

there is also "Pattern preview" under "View" option.

Hi from Tassie Mel! Great tutorial, thank you - looking forward to trying it out. Can the pattern be scaled up? For example, if making patterns for a quilt cover, or sheet set? We are keen to develop some linen and I want to make a pattern for it, but don't want our illustrations to be tiny when printed ...if that makes sense? Thanks in advance!

Excelent Content!! Thank you so much for this, I am learning a lot with you!!

How did you come up with the vertical figure of +2426 pixels? A 12" canvas converts to 3600 pixels at 300 dpi? Really confused

THANK YOU so so much for sharing this!!!... this may be the best tutorial on pattern design I've seen

Can this be done with the “pattern preview” option?

Great tutorial thank you!

Would you be able to do this using Photoshop’s Pattern Preview and skip all the x/y stuff?

Absolutely brilliant tutorial- thank you so much for sharing this!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate having the video AND the written instructions. This is terrific. :)

Appreciate your time and work, Mel, but there are far easier ways to achieve the same results in PSD..

Mel, thanks for the great video and the PDF - very helpful!

Hey thanks for posting, I've been watching a number of videos trying to figure out how to do this and this is the best one so far!

This was SO helpful. Thank you so so much for sharing what you've learned with us! Just getting into licensing and I feel much more confident now that I'm able to make these types of patterns. I really appreciate it!! ♥️

This is how to make at illustrator

thanks for vlog............

Thank you! So easy to follow. Love your skillshare classes too. xo

Not only is your pattern delightful, this tutorial can be done in CS5.5, which I have because I still use old 32 bit filters in my artwork. This is ingenious and just what I wanted. Thank you.

This was very helpful! I’m going to try out this method. Thanks for the PDF instructions too! My motifs are in Procreate…would I import them into a new document in Photoshop?

I have a dumb question because I'm new.... I am not sure why this is a half drop ? Is it because the sides of the diamonds interlock? Does it always have to be diamonds?
