Hi BJ,

Thank you for opening up a new door for me! I just discovered your blog, and as a result just discovered your PS tip. I’ve always made patterns in Illustrator because of ai’s tiling features and the wand/select to change colors universally. Now I see I can do the same in PS with smart group and will let me create a more painterly look in a pattern which would be a pain to do in Illustrator!

Hi BJ,

Thank you so much for sharing the tip in Photoshop. I already used the information.
Very cool. Also, love all the new fabrics.

Take Care,

Thanks for the info! I’m sure to make use of this. Photoshop has so much going on, it’s hard to know everything that it can do without taking courses. I find it easier to remember when I learn specific things like this, rather than tons of information that only has a few pertinent features that I would use. Thanks again. – Marlene

Hi BJ, How have you been? Thanks so much for this tip, its great and I will definitely be using it. There’s so much to know about PS that its impossible to learn it all except to gradually build on what you already know.

Also, loved seeing the dauphin mailbox dressed up for bike week!

Thank you so much for sharing this in such a detailed tutorial you’re awesome…I am having such an “ahaaaaa…” moment (not just a short “aha”). I knew those things existed, only because quite often I’ve accidentally bumped something that turned layers into smart sets when I didn’t mean to, so all I’ve done with them is say %(&#@! (over and over again until I scare the animals) and keep undoing until I’m back to where I was! I thought they were only there to torture me…but NO! They’re there to make my life easier, thanks to you.
Can’t wait to try this…

I agree with missing working with other creatives and learning cool tips. But hey, now we all have virtual co-workers! I too have been with Photoshop since 2.0 and I am always amazed at how robust it is.
Thanks for sharing!

Oh, wow- that is an excellent tip! I always wind up “merge visible” the image, which, you know, is NOT a good way to go. Great tip. I love PS tutorials!
