Recreating texture of drawing

Hey, I'm looking to recreate the texture of this floor plan and its surroundings. I've had a few attempts at applying the texture through 'Pattern Overlay', though i'm not sure which blend mode to use? Or altogether if there's another way to achieve the texture? The aim is for it to be very light so it doesn't detract from the main plan of the building. Any suggestions please post, will be greatly appreciated

Hi there! Below I've provided some steps for you to try out. Note that you can easily substitute in other textures, and tweak settings accordingly
First, go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Pattern, and click "OK" when the New Layer dialog box pops up. Creating a pattern fill layer will make it easier for you to change the texture later if you decide to use another one.
In the Pattern Fill dialog box, go ahead and pick your texture by clicking on the texture swatch. To add new textures, click on the small settings icon in the upper right hand corner of the texture swatch gallery. In this tutorial, I'm using the Gray Granite texture in the Grayscale Paper collection that comes installed in Photoshop CS6. You can use whatever texture you'd like
With your pattern fill layer selected, change the layer Blend Mode to Multiply. This will allow your plan drawing to show through under the texture.
You can adjust the Opacity of the layer using the the opacity slider in the layers panel. This will make the texture lighter and more subtle.
If you want to get that "faded" effect in your original image, you can apply a Layer Mask to the texture. This will allow you to paint away selective parts of the texture, without permanently erasing it. To do so, first click on the icon highlighted below to add a layer mask to your texture layer.
Now, making sure you have the layer mask selected, grab the Brush Tool and select a large, soft brush. Change your brush color to Black (#000000), and start painting away any areas where you don't want the texture. If you want to add texture back in, switch your brush color to White (#ffffff).
The great thing about using a layer mask to hide or reveal parts of your texture is that it's non-destructive, meaning it doesn't permanantly effect your texture layer. If you ever want to bring back your full texture layer, just right click on the layer mask.
I hope this helped, or at least gave you a few tips! Remember that the texture you use is completely up to you, and you can change the opacity of your texture layer as much as you'd like. Below is a before and after shot of my two images: on the left is my original plan, on the right is the plan with the texture overlayed.
Please post again if you need additional help or clarification!

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Which Office version are you using with the two pcs?
    Do the two pcs have the same operation system and software environment?
    Based on my test with my local environment (Window 8.1 & Excel 20013; Windows 7 & Excel 2007/2010), I recreate some sample drawing like you provided, but I could not reproduce your issue.
    General speaking, if you are using the different Office version with the 2 pcs, the Excel file might display differences, because there also might be some compatibility issues.
    I recommend we try the following steps to narrow down the issue:
    First, open the file with third pc that installed the same Excel version with correct pc if possible.
    If the file display correctly, we'd better focus on the wrong pc (Second pc).
    Then, we may try the following methods and check they are helpful.
    Update the Office/Windows patches.
    Repair Office.
    Update the display card drive
    Next, if this issue still exists or could not open it with third pc, I recommend you upload the sample file through OneDrive, I want to download and test it.

  • How to create an applet, with many squares inside?

    Hey,
    I'm having problems creating an applet. Heres the image I need to recreate. The drawing should scale, so that it reaches the full width and
    height of the applet.
    http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=graphicsafx5.jpg
    I created a similar one (the code is below), but don't know how to modify it to create the image in the above link. Do I need a for loop? like for ( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class AprilTest1 extends Applet
       public void paint(Graphics g)
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
            int width = getWidth();
            int height = getHeight();
            g2.setColor( Color.black );
            g2.fillRect( 0, 0, width, height);
            int pen_width = width/90 + 1;
            g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(pen_width));
            g2.setColor( Color.white );
            g2.drawRect( width/4, height/4, width/2, height/2);
    }

    As CeciNEstPasUnProgrammeur said you do need a loop. You can probably make good use of the % operator inside your loop also.
    for(int i=0; i<NUMBER_OF_RECTANGLES; i++){
         if(i % 2 == 0) {
             //draw black rectangle
         } else {
             //draw white rectangle
    }Just think about what you need to do:
    -Start 1 rectangle at (0,0) and have its width and height as getWidth() and getHeight().
    -Pick an increment [this will be the 'width' of each rectangle]
    -Now for each rectangle you want to move your x and y points right and down by your increment. Moreover, you want to make your width and height smaller by your increment*2
    Essentially what I did is initialize 3 variables to 0 [say x, y, and z]. In your for loop use the % operator in an if-else block. If the loop is on an even number make a white rectangle, if the loop is on an odd number make a black rectangle. Set the x and y position to x+z and y+z respectivley. Set the height and width to getHeight()-(z*2) and getWidth()-(z*2) and then increment z by...lets say 10.
    This means on the first loop:
    x = 0
    y = 0
    width = getWidth()
    height = getHeight()
    Second loop:
    x = 10
    y = 10
    width = getWidth()-20 [10 to compensate for the shift, and 10 for the width]
    height = getHeight()-20
    Here is what I came up with - hope it helps.
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class AprilTest1 extends Applet {
         private int x, y, z = 0;
         public void paint(Graphics g) {
              for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
                   if(i%2==1){
                      g.setColor( Color.white );
                      g.fillRect(x+z, y+z, getWidth()-(z*2), getHeight()-(z*2)); 
                   } else {
                      g.setColor( Color.black );
                      g.fillRect(x+z, y+z, getWidth()-(z*2), getHeight()-(z*2));
                   z += 10;
    }Any questions, feel free to ask :)

  • Art brush not following path

    I have an art brush that I created to achieve an offset on an open path.  In some location the brush doesn't follow the path.  I have attached an image.  The narrow pink line is the actual path.  The thicker pink line is the art brush I created for the offset.  You can see at the top of the image what the style is supposed to look like.  Once the path starts curving towards the bottom the path and the brush get out of alignement.  I have tried adding points, which works on other types of brushes, but doesn't seem to work on art brushes.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?  Thanks.

    It only occurs around certain curves and bends.  Here is other path with the issue.  You might be able to recreate if you draw a shape like this.  Also, I am using CS4.  I don't know if this is a bug that may have been fixed in CS5.  I don't have any effects applied to any of the strokes.  The only items listed in each line of the appearance is the stadard. "Opacity: Default"
    Sometimes if I just redraw the corner using the pencil it will help, but not always. And sometimes adding an extra anchor point at the beginning or end with help, but again not always.  It is very strange and the reason I avoid art brushes if possible.  However, I can't find other way of offsetting a stroke on an open path.

  • Why am I getting this err -Could not complete the Split Extrusion command because of a program error

    To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
    Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
    Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
    The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
    I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
    Is Photoshop just this buggy or am I trying to do something that should not be possible? If so, the error message certainly should be more helpful than what I'm seeing.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • [bug report] Making selection with pen tool causes 'jittery' edge

    When I use the pen tool to create a path, and then make a selection from it and select inverse and delete the background, the result is a very un-even edge not the clean resullt you would expect, however if I make a mask from the same selection it looks fine.
    Steps to recreate
    1. Draw a simple path with the pen tool
    2. Make a selection from the path, with 0 feather and anti alias turned on
    3. Inverse selection (optional, same thing happens if you don't inverse)
    4. Delete the rest of the image
    5. The edge of the image now has an uneven, jittery edge
    compared to mask
    5. Undo the delete
    6. Go to Channel Pallette, and make a mask from the selection
    7. Edge of the mask should be clean like you would expect
    You can exaggerate the jittery effect by adding feather the the path selection

    Ok please Delete this I've sorted it. The blending mode had jumped to disolve.... but I 100% didn't change it to this myself, I wasn't even in the layer pallette at the time

    Is there a better way to do it?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Do a control-A (select all). This should put a selection outline around your image. Then do an Edit-Stroke. Define your Width in pixels, Color, and then choose Inside. Set blending to whatever you want (Normal for a solid color) and then the Opacity.
    Play with it. Have fun. Do NOT edit original images - always do an Image-Duplicate before doing edits until you know what you're doing. It is way too easy to make edits and then save that file over your original - losing the source file forever (unless you have a backup).

  • Adding texture to a drawing in photoshop

    I have a drawing that I did on Illustrator, that I want to change the texture on the drawing (in photoshop) to make it look like webbing (adding a weave pattern) I was told that I need to do this through the paintbrush, but I need a little more explanation.

    As our Bruce has just told you, there are so many ways to add texture.  Strangely, none of the obvious methods would use the paint brush.  Also, as suggested by our Bruce, it depends entirely on what you want to do, and a scale of any patten involved.
    The denim patten in this was done using the Half Tone filter, for instance.
    There are weave pattens available from Scripted Fill if you have CC, or a great tool to experiment with overlaying textures, is to install the free Flypaper Textures extension by Russell Brown.

  • How to draw texture NO SCALE in OpenGLES????

    Hi, guys
    I have a texture, 128*128
    I want to draw it to a 68 * 98 rectangle. I do not want the texture to be scaled
    Plz tell me what I should do.
    Thx

    So you want to display only a part of the texture? In this case you need to set the right texture coordinates to the vertices.

  • In need of an expert: OpenGL and drawing simple textures

    Hello,
    Is anyone knowledgeable about loading sprites with an alpha channel?
    This is the code I am using to load my sprites. The image files were png files with an alpha channel(parts where you can see through the image). But when loading it the parts that are supposed to be invisible turn out to be black.
    I have searched far and wide across the internet and what a surprise I only see solutions for mobile phones other than the iphone! It would be great help to the iphone community if someone can be kind enough to point out what it is thats supposed to be done to get this to work.
    {CODE}
    myTexture = Texture2D alloc initWithData:data bytes pixelFormat:kTexture2DPixelFormatRGBAPVRTC4 pixelsWide:512 pixelsHigh:512 contentSize:CGSizeMake(512,512);
    {CODE}
    then running the following in drawView:
    {CODE}
    myTexture drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(0,0);
    {CODE}
    the result is the texture showing correctly except the invisible parts turn out black. Perhaps I have to set something in the drawView? Please If anyone out there can help.

    You may need to enable alpha blending systemwide, e.g. glEnable (GL_BLEND), as well as glBlendFunc(), glAlphaFunc(), etc.

  • Recreating a program interface with the drawing API?

    Hey there all!

  • Recreating a drawing on illustrator

    I want to transfer one of my drawings onto the illustrator and make it a vector file so it can be engraved with a laser, does anyone know how to do this?
    I have uploaded the image and trace image, where do i go from here?
    Frederica

    Yes.  What I typically do is scan the drawing as a Grayscale .tiff > "Place" the .tiff oto a Layer in Illustrator > Create a second Layer for your drawing or redraw in Illustrator.  This requires a lot of fancy footwork using Illustrator's drawing tools, but is much faster and more accurate ( in my opinion ) than some sort of automated draw attempt in Illustrator.  Sometimes it depends on the artwork itself.  Hint: if you can, dim the Pllaced .tiff in its Layer options palette.  This helps your redraw lines show up better against the Grayscale background of the image.

  • Problems with AppleWorks drawing docs under Snow Leopard

    Since I installed Snow Leopard, I've encountered two major problems:
    (Problem 1) AppleWorks gets corrupted when dragging a picture file (.jpg or .png) from the desktop into a drawing document. Various dialogs (e.g. "Format : Document..." or "Format : Ruler : Settings ..." or "Options : Object Size ...") become uneditable. These dialogs will display blank boxes instead of the given object settings, and nothing can be entered into these boxes. AppleWorks must be shut down and restarted in order to continue work.
    (Problem 2) When a formula (i.e. an equation) has been created in a MathType window, selected and copied, it takes ages to make AppleWorks the active application (spinning rainbow coloured ball appears and keeps spinning for a long while). Thereafter, it takes another century to get the formula appearing in the AppleWorks document when selecting the command "Edit : Paste".
    Everything worked still fine under Leopard; under Snow Leopard it's a desaster.
    p.s.
    I've produced thousands of work sheets for my Maths teachings using the Drawing module of AppleWorks in combination with MathType (Design Science). Now I'm stuck since there is no decent successor of AppleWorks available:
    * iWork doesn't feature a drawing module.
    * EazyDraw doesn't collaborate with MathType (i.e. no OLE; inserted formulae cannot be edited by double-clicking).
    * OpenOffice doesn't collaborate with MathType.
    * Micro$oft Office doesn't feature a drawing module.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I don't use AppleWorks as much as I used to & I've never had a need to use MathType, but I just tried dragging 3 images - a .png, a .tiff & a .jpg - to a new AppleWorks draw document. I had no problems resizing them using Format > Scale by percent & I had no problems using any of the other dialog boxes you mention.
    Some basic troubleshooting you might try:
    Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
    To Repair permissions in 10.4.x, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
    To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should do this step anytime AppleWorks crashes or you force quit it.
    The slowness is likely the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.
    Could you send me a copy of one of these worksheets? Perhaps I can see if I can easily duplicate one in Pages/Numbers/Keynote. Even though iWork doesn't have a draw app, all of the apps do have basic drawing capabilities.

  • Creating a texture for a rounded window

    Hi.
    I'm creating a simple gui on a game framework based on lwjgl and I have a problem.
    Almost every window has a solid black texture as a background. I came up with a idea to make corners rounded. At the beginning I created gif picture of a rounded square and used it as a background texture. But it wasn't a good idea, because the corners had different sizes depends on windows sizes (and how much texture was stretched). I've decided that I have to create a texture dynamically every time a window is created.
    public void makeBackground() {
            // the texture size must be multiply of 2
            int tWidth = 2;
            while (tWidth < getWidth()) {
                tWidth *= 2;
            int tHeight = 2;
            while (tHeight < getHeight()) {
                tHeight *= 2;
            Texture t = new Texture(getWidth(), getHeight()); // new texture is created with width and height same as the window size
            int px, py, ox, oy; // some variables
            final int pw = getWidth(),  ph = getHeight(),  hww = tWidth; // as above
            ByteBuffer bb = t.getData(); // blank texture is converted to a byte buffer
            Utils.startStoper(); // start timer (for a benchmark)
            try {
                for (int p = 0;; p++) {
                    px = p % hww; // get the X of the pixel
                    py = p / hww; // get the Y of the pixel
                    ox = ROUND_ANGLE - Math.min(px + 1, pw - px + 1); //  ox = <0, 32> if near corners
                    oy = ROUND_ANGLE - Math.min(py + 1, ph - py + 1); //  as above
                    bb.put((byte) 0); // r = 0
                    bb.put((byte) 0); // g = 0
                    bb.put((byte) 0); // b = 0
                    if (ox > 0 && oy > 0) {  // if near corners
                        double hypot = Math.hypot(ox, oy);
                        if (hypot > ROUND_ANGLE) { // if outside the corner
                            bb.put((byte) 0); // apha = 0
                        } else if (hypot > ROUND_ANGLE - 1) { // if on the corner edge
                            bb.put((byte) Math.round(
                                    (ROUND_ANGLE - hypot) * 200));
                        } else {
                            bb.put((byte) 200);  // if inside the corner (200 is a max value cause the whole window is a bit transparent)
                    } else {
                        bb.put((byte) 200); // inside the window

        }And here we have a problem. The whole method takes about 70ms for a window 200x200.
    I can do it in another way: create a pictures of a rounded corner and a black box. The box would be the window inside and the corner would loaded 4 times each time rotated. Only the box would be stretched then. But I would have to override all methods of a window (setX, setY, setXY, some more).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi Tom,
    I haven't used lwjgl, so hope the following helps:
    1- What does it matter if it takes 70ms. Your windows will be created once. At that point juste create the texture for that window and store it until you destroy the window. The penalty hit is 70ms but only at the initialization.
    2- You are drawing a pixel at a time for everything. Why don't you calculate the area of the corners and only draw the corners a pixel at a time. For the rest, draw some filled polygons.
    3- The java Graphics object has method fill methode that can take any Shape object. Why don't you use that?
    I would use a combination of 3 and 1.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to minimize the file size of a file with drawing markups

    Scenario:
    I need to turn a sample of a report into a report template, so I am deleting as many objects as I can with the Tools>Content>Edit Object.  For text that I cannot delete that way, I am covering it up with a white box (Comment>Drawing Markups>square and setting outline = white and fill = white).  On this particular PDF, there are about 20 of these white boxes.  I'm then using Preflight>Flatten annotations and form fields to flatten all of the markups.
    Problem:
    Unfortunately, even after using Preflight and Save As>Reduced Size PDF, the file size is still over 900 kb.  The original file size before I make any changes is less than 150 kb.  I need the final file size to be 200-300 kb.
    Settings:
    Windows 7
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro
    Solutions?
    I may be going about this all wrong, so any advice you have is much appreciated!  The only other thing I can think of to do (since I can't get a blank sample report), is to recreate the report in Word and then PDF it.  I'm hoping there's a better solution.  I tried Photoshop first and the file sizes were in the MBs, so I switched to Acrobat.  Maybe a different program would work even better?

    Basically that is what Bill is telling you. The best method is to:
    create the design of the form in Word.
    Save as a PDF (on a Mac the best method is to go to print menu click pdf and hold mouse or track pad button down, and Chose Adobe PDF) .
    Then open PDF in Acrobat
    Click on Tools
    Click on Forms and create form. Either letting acrobat create the fields and add or take away fields as need.  Or create fields manually.
    This way should you need to make correction you can open the original Word Document, Make chages save as PDF The in open original in PDF. Click on Tools > Pages and choose replace pages and replace desired page(s) as needed. Then readjust fields if needed or add or take fields as needed.
