- Now that you've created your beautiful watercolor repeating pattern in Photoshop, it's time to prepare your file for upload to print on demand websites like Spoonflower and Society 6! Of course, as with pretty much anything else, there are many ways to do this in Photoshop -- this is just the way I've been using and that has worked well for me!
There's just one more video in this series, and that will be how to recolor your patterns in Photoshop. So exciting! I'll see you very soon for that video 🎉

Hi Sarah,
I just found your channel on TH-cam after seeing some comments about Immersion on Facebook. I'm signed up for the course and I'm really excited about it. After watching a few of your videos I love what Photoshop can do. I just checked to see if I can transfer images from Illustrator to Photoshop since Immersion will be teaching me Illustrator. It looks like I'll be able to. It seems that Photoshop has a much easier function for creating patterns. Have you created anything in Illustrator to Photoshop? Thanks for your insight and tidbits of information. I'll definitely be coming back to your videos as I go through or after I've completed the Immersion course.
Hi Jane! Hah, that blows my mind that people were talking about my little old channel on Facebook! Out of curiosity, was it in one of the surface pattern design groups?
The good news is that in Immersion you’ll learn that there are “easy” ways to create patterns in Illustrstor, too! I’ve only done a little bit of moving things around between Illustrator and Photoshop, and to be honest I’ve found it easier to keep my vectors in Illustrator and to keep my rasters in Photoshop. That being said, I found that learning Illustrator in Immersion really did help me to learn Photoshop because a lot of the “Adobe language” is really similar across programs. Best of luck with Immersion!! Have fun!
@@pepostudios Yes, it was one of your Surface Pattern Design videos. I watched 3 of yours yesterday. I'm still learning the Adobe programs - a bit daunting, but I feel confident that after Immersion I'll be much better in Illustrator, and hopefully, organically will be better in Photoshop. Have a great weekend!
Hi. What is diffence if I SAVE AS .jpg instead of EXPORT .jpg ?
Thanh you a lot
Hmmm, this is a great question, and I don’t really know the answer! Without looking into it, I know that generally “save as” involves basically converting the file format of your document, and it typically doesn’t have as many customization options. I imagine you have more options when you use “export as” if that makes sense!
So if the file size is over the 40 mb limit for spoonflower, the solution is to resize the image down? Do I have that correct? Thank you!
That’s what I do! If it’s just barely over the limit, you can often get away with shifting the scale down just a little bit (e.g. 95%). I’m sure there are lots of other options, too. You could also assess the file size when exporting as jpg vs png because Spoonflower accepts both ☺️
Also, worth noting that sizing works a bit differently for wallpaper on Spoonflower, but that’s not something I covered in this series!
@@pepostudios Ok! Thank you for the tips, I appreciate it!
@@lttlod1 happy to help! Let me know if you have any other questions!
