We can create our own custom patterns to use as fill for the pixels in our images. Now, what I'm going to do is show you that I have the VTC logo heavily modified by myself on another document and I'm going to use my, uh, marquee tool to draw out a boundary and then I'm going to choose to edit and define pattern. What this will allow me to do is take a snapshot of this pretty much and tell Photoshop to use this as a fill on any pixels that I desire. So I'm going to rename this. I'm going to click OK. Deselect and then I'm going to go back to the other image and I'm going to grab my quick select tool and I'm going to draw a boundary, of course, around this gentleman's sweater and then having this selected, it's ready for a fill. Now, by now we know we can edit, fill and we can choose to use a foreground color which is the default, background color. We can also choose pattern. Once you choose the pattern you can click on the custom pattern, the drop down, choose the pattern or any of the patterns that come with Photoshop, but here's the one we created. Ok. And there it is. Now, you also notice that in this dialog box I'm able to also drop the opacity and I can also choose a blending mode, which is very, very handy. So there is the logo in the gentleman's sweater. Now I'm going to undo that. And I'm going to leave that selection there and what I'm going to do this time is create my own pattern, uh, based on just starting from scratch. I'm going to create a new document and I'm going to fill it with a burlap kind of thing here, so I'm going to choose a brownish color, click OK and I'm going to go to my filter menu, after I, of course, fill this in. So I'm going to go to edit, fill and I'm going to choose foreground color and I want the blending mode to be normal and I want it to be 100 percent. Now I'm going to filter and I'm going to choose texture and texturizer, which is down here. And what I'm going to choose, of course, if burlap, which I already have open. I'm going to click OK and now this burlap pattern is applied. I'm going to go to filter, blur, just to soften that up a bit. Use the world-famous gaussian blur, which is probably the hardest-working filter on the planet. Now I'm going to select all. I'm going to copy this, or rather I'm going to define a pattern, which is the same thing. So don't forget, if I, if I define a pattern, I can use it to fill in things. If I choose copy, I can paste this into that shape. So let me go ahead and show you. I can go to copy, I can go to my image and I can go to the edit menu and I can choose the past into. That will paste this into that, uh, particular outline. So what we're going to do instead of that is we're going to go to the pattern once again. We're going to go to pattern and I'm going to choose define pattern as we did earlier. I'm going to rename this burlap. click OK. Go back to that image and this time I'm going to go to the fill. I'm going to choose the pattern option. I'm going to choose my new pattern, which is the burlap. click OK. And now what I can do is grab my burn tool and I can burn in some shadows and some wrinkles and try to make this look like it was there all along. So I can really mess that up a lot. I can even go to filter. I can go to noise and add some noise into that sweater as well to make it look like, you know, it was really there. And after a little bit of manipulation and some playing around with the shadows and I can deselect that and kind of play around with it more. And I just changed the whole look of this image by adding my own defined pattern.
