Shape Up With Photoshop



Photoshop is an awesome piece of software. You can do just about anything with this program. One of my favorite tools is this the shape tool. You can design any shape imaginable. The pattern tool is pretty cool too. This allows me to create abstract compositions that come in many interesting styles. It is also worthy to note that you can also create many shapes from one shape. The pattern tool will randomly generate various sorts of patterns. The possibilities are limitless. You can add filters and effects for unique pieces of artwork.


I mentioned earlier in a previous post that I preferred Photoshop to the Gimp. The Gimp lacks a decent shaping tool. Photoshop has more than enough for most peoples needs in a photo editing program.


I have included some shape and pattern samples that have been created in Photoshop





There are many sites on the internet where you can obtain Photoshop shapes and patterns for free or paid. Pay special attention to copyrighted works and their usages. The best satisfaction comes from creating your own. So go give it a whirl. You will surprise yourself. Don't forget to check this site out for some photoshop freebies.
