This month we prepared 63 free abstract textures, which are mostly composed from blurred photographs with added various effects and multiple layers.A lot of them are also based on patterns with added color gradients. When i was making these textures i wasn’t concerned with what will came out in the end. I just took a bad photograph and toyed with it in Photoshop. There will be three more packs of textures with similar concept in following months. You can download them here for free, but read up on our rules to make sure how you can use them.

Starnet — Thu, 13 May 2010 17:55:17 +0000

For all of you who can’t get enough of striped patterns, we offer a new addition to your collection: A colorful grungy stripped pattern set. The collection contains six patterns made of horizontal lines in different color variations. To create it we played around with gradient effect in pastel tones and we added a grainy texture to achieve the grungy look. The jpegs are 530×530 (300 dpi) in size and can be downloaded below or you can snatch the .pat file here.

How to install a pat. file

A pattern is usually an image that can be tiled seamlessly to create a pattern.
Once you’ve downloaded a pattern, you will have to unzip it first.

Than you have a .patfile that has to be installed in Photoshop in order to use it on your artwork.

Copy the .pat files into:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Presets\Patterns

To load a pattern set, first open Photoshop, go to the Patterns palette then click the small arrow in the top right corner and choose “Load Patterns”. Find the .pat file you have just copied to the Patterns folder in step 1, and hit ‘open’. Select ‘Add’ and voila. Next time you open Photoshop, the new patterns will be in the pattern library already…
