How do I create this texture?

I need to create this texture for the background of something I am working on.  I am making a business logo for a woman, and she very specifically asked for this texture.  I would have copied it directly from the picture she provided me, but it's very low quality and gets pixilated if I make it even a little bit bigger. I need to replicate the texture from the background of this image:
Any ideas?  I've tried using different tons of brushes and filters, but I just can't get it quite right and I'm getting pretty frustrated.
Thanks!!!

The trick is to start with the right image.  it looks like tree bark to me, so search Google for 'bark', go to Images, and click on Large.  Find a bark pattern that suits, and copy into photoshop.  Go Image > Adjust > Threshold, and drag the slider over to the left to get a mostly white image.  Job more or less done, but dtretch with Free transform if the patern is too dense.    Place it over a plain coloured background, and set Blend mode to Darken.

  • How can I creat this texture in illustrator

    hello
    I'm using illustrator CS5 and i want to creat an art brush with applying this texture in it. as you can see in the picture
    this is my first try but i was not satisfied with this result
    i zoom it in > it is consist of small squares with diffirent colors
    i hope you get what i mean,
    plz reply as soon as possible
    thanks in advance

    Art brushes in Illustrator CS5 can only contain vector artwork. So it will be very difficult to achieve what you want.
    You can try to use live trace to get a vector version of your image, but you need to simplify it.
    Depending on what you need this for, there might be better methods than a brush.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

  • How can i create this type of texture?

    Hey
    I'm trying to replicate/create the texture in this poster. It looks to me like a fresh paint brush strokes or some plywood.
    Any help would be great thanks (:

    Mylenium is an After Effects kind of a guy, which apparently is the go to app for fractal noise, although Render Clouds and fibers are also considered to be fractal noise.  I actually tried to duplicate the texture, and while I got close, it was not close enough to put up as a suggestion.  This has a base layer of a mid green, with an overlaying layer in which I used Render Clouds with blend mode set to Vivid Light.  The trick is in selecting the right foreground and background colours, and then repeatedly using Ctrl Alt f to reapply render clouds with new random settings.
    This is the same layer with some 90° Motion blur applied, and high settings of Smart Sharpen.  Also set to Vivid Light. 
    Something else to try is adding some noise to your render clouds if you are going to use Motion blur, because it gives motion blur something to work on.  After adding the noise, you need to soften it just a tiny bit (Blur > Blur more).  Then Smart Sharpen again, but you'll need much lower settings this time.
    I know that several requests for better Photoshop fractal noise have been put on the Photoshop feedback site, but the master of this stuff is Bert Monroy, and I can't actually remember him using Render Fibers (the other noise generator along with clouds and difference clouds).  Bert tends to use noise and motion blur, because you get more predictable, and definitely more even results than from render fibers.

  • Creating a rate calculator [was: how do i create this?]

    I want to create a rate calculator on a website with 2 input fields: calling from and calling to.  Here is what i've got:
    CALLING FROM table:
    COUNTRY     $/MIN
    Africa            0.10
    Europe          0.20
    Asia              0.30
    CALLING TO table:
    COUNTRY     $/MIN
    Africa           0.20
    Europe         0.30
    Asia             0.50
    USA             0.10
    Basically to get the rate $/min the CALLING FROM selected country and the CALLING TO selected country will be added together i.e calling from africa to USA would be $0.20/min (0.10 + 0.10).
    - How do i create the database for this? (in access)
    - How do i then create the rate calculator in a webpage? (asp/php)???
    I would really appreciate anyone who will be able to help me in this.
    Thank you very much.

    Create a database table with 3 columns
    Country
    ToRate
    FromRate
    Populate these values as appropriate.
    Create two drop down menus on your page; FromRate and ToRate.  Populate these with the values (Display value and rate) from the table.
    Then, you could either:
    1) Submit the form to a server side script that adds and displays the values
    2) Use Javascript to add and display the values

  • How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

    Hi,
    I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
    How can you create the grid in the bottom??
    I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    User 122...

    Hi Soofi,
    Appreciate your quick response.
    In the image, can you see a huge grid?
    Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
    Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
    Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
    Can you see that??
    My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
    So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.

  • How do i create this kind of effect

    Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials or anything on creating this kind of effect. Do you think it was done in after effects?
    Its the 3d camera pan at around the 2:40 mark of the video.

    One more thing, guys. I looked through most of the effects he used and I can explain how did it, except how on earth did he pull this off?
    Take a look, I isolated them (hope these links work):

  • How do I create this special lens flare effect?

    Hey all!
    So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I'm looking for more of a colored "wash" lens flare effect.
    The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.
    http://vimeo.com/60631128
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.
    Thanks all!

    First created shape layer that is Close to the base color you want for your flair. Second add fast blur or Gaussian blur of a value that is about half the size of your shape layer. Change the blend mode to add, duplicate, increase the blurb about 50%, duplicate repeat until you get what you want. Many times when creating this kind of an artificial lens flare effect I would use many different colors in the same flare. Sometimes I will make the layers 3-D and move them around in 3-D space.
    The only other really good option is to buy some stock footage of real lens flares and colorize them using color grading effects.
    by the way, one color grading and creating "light" affects you should always work with 32-bit projects.

  • How do I create this table?

    When I paste the buy/sell ticket (table) from this page http://www.globalfutures.com/resources/order-placement.asp into Pages, everything comes out fine except the top - the five columns and split row above Buy and Sell labels.
    Any idea how I can create these five columns without adding new columns that go down the length of the ticket? Same for the top row that is split by columns (one box has "ticket #" and the other "Global Futures Exchange & Trading Company, Inc.").
    I don't know how to create the type of independent columns and rows they are using.

    If you're a client of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc. (as opposed to being an employee/associate of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc.), is there a need to copy the table?
    As I read the page, the table is a ticket produced after an order is received, not a form on which to place an order.
    All that's needed to place an order is what's described in the section above the table, and illustrated by the single line example:
    How to Place Orders
    The first thing to understand about order placement is that there is a standardized way in which to place an order. When placing an order, there are several pieces of information that need to be conveyed.
    • Name
    • Account Number
    • Order Type (Day, Open, Option)
    • Buy or Sell
    • Number of Contracts
    • Month
    • Commodity
    Here is an example:
    "This is John Smith, Account 650-12345. Day Order: Buy 10 March E-Mini S&P at 1285.50"
    The table appears to be an illustration of the ticket produced by the associate/employee receiving the order.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: I'll skip instructrions for constructing the table, as my instructions would be essentially the same as Peter's.
    I'd add a note that having the table model wouldn't particularly simplify the task of copying a similar table (and its information) from the web.

  • How do I create this group of graphs?

    Hi all. I am trying to create this block diagram for use in my project. However, I am new to labview and I do not know how many of the icons used here.
    Can someone please help me with this? I would very much appreciate it.
    Attachments:

    The best way to know what the icons are is to have the Context Help window open (Help -> Show Context Help). This will display a small window that will update as you move the cursor over VIs and functions, telling you what they are. If they are LabVIEW VIs/functions there will also be a link to the detailed help.
    The VIs on the outside of the loop are two Sine Pattern VIs and the other is an Outer Product VI (linear algebra). The stuff inside is a couple of property nodes to get the position of the cursors. The mathematical functions should be obvious. Then you have a couple of Ramp Pattern VIs. Not sure what's inside the for loop. That might be a custom VI. See what the Context Help tells you.
    If you have not already done so, I would recommend taking some tutorials. To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. There are also several Technical Resources. You can also take the online courses for free.

  • How do I create this look in illustrator....

    I'm recreating some vintage art and am trying to get this spray paint look. Any suggestions on how to go about achieving this look (see photo) in illustrator?
    I'm currently running CS4 (I'm on my work computer)....
    [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/aaaov.jpg/][IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4 728/aaaov.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
    - I've tried looking in the preset brushes, no luck!
    - I've tried creating my own brush using vector spray paint, no luck!
    - I've tried looking for illustrator brushes online, no luck!
    This seems like a very simple effect to do, I know how to create this look in photoshop but I need this to be vector. Any suggestions would be great!
    Thanks guys!

    First...
    There is nothing wrong with a 1-bit diffusion dither object being raster, as far as printing results is concerned. Such images date back to the days of MacPaint and Hypercard. They are same-size (historically usually 1-point) pixels, randomly distributed at varying frequencies to suggest tones (as opposed to individual printer spots being combined to build varying size halftone dots).
    So if the tiny squares are vector, yes, they are scaleable. But so are 1-bit pixels. When you scale a 1-bit raster, you're scaling square pixels, which are printed as squares. So a scaled 1-bit raster image is just as "resolution independent" as a bunch of vector squares.
    Second...
    This effect was employed in illustrations and designs since the very beginning of desktop publishing. For example, I frequently used it in the 80s thusly:
    1. Draw a vector path of any shape in FreeHand.
    2. Copy it to Photoshop. Blur it. Convert to 1-bit using diffusion dither. Save it as TIFF.
    3. Import into FreeHand. Stack it below the object for which it served as a glow or drop shadow.
    FreeHand had the ability to apply any color to a 1-bit or grayscale raster image, and the ability to set the white pixels of a 1-bit image to transparent. Illustrator didn't gain those abilities until decades later.
    So it's not oppressively tedious to use that method nowadays, even in Illustrator. (And frankly, that's the way I'd do it.)
    Third...
    Illustrator sorely needs to provided a diffusion dither option in its Rasterize command for 1-bit color depth (as I've been arguing for years) instead of its lame pattern diffusion. Then this effect could be applied easily and quickly to any object, either as a "nailed down" rasterization, or as a live effect.
    However...
    You can simulate a vector diffusion dither pattern that you can apply to any path by combining several Scatter Brushes and storing their combined application as a Graphic Style:
    1. Draw a 1 point square.
    2. Store it as a Scatter Brush. Set the Spacing and Scatter settings to Random. To constrain the pattern to one side of the path to which it is applied, set the low limit of Scatter to zero.
    3. Duplicate the Scatter Brush two or more times, changing the Spacing and Scatter upper limits in each duplicate so as to make each duplicate Brush increasingly sparse. In the example shown, the first Brush is named Scatter Brush 1 and has its upper limits for Spacing and Scatter to 300. This Brush was duplicated twice, and those two values doubled each time. But of course you can use whatever settings work for the effect you want.
    4. Draw a temporary path with a 1-point stroke. Apply Scatter Brush 1. Select the Stroke Appearance and duplciate it. Apply Scatter Brush 2 to it. Duplicate the Stroke Appearance again, and apply Scatter Brush 3 to it.
    5. Drag the whole path and drop it into the Graphic Styles palette to define a new Graphic Style. Now you can apply the whole Appearance stack to any other path(s) with one click.
    Being Brushes, the fineness of the pattern can be adjusted by changing the weight of the strokes:
    And, of course, you can apply other effects to the Brushes and strokes involved. For example, set the Colorization Mode of the Brushes to be able to change the color of the dither pattern; and/or apply Transform Effect to offset the pattern from the object to which it is applied (as for dithered drop shadows).
