Description
In this class, Troubleshooting Adobe Textile Design Issues, I will try to cover all aspects of the Adobe Textile Designer Extension and Plug Ins. I have gleaned many topics from the Adobe Textile Designer Forums where users try to find resolutions for issues. I have also personally run into issues that I will resolve on screen to help clarify roadblocks and pitfalls. The two main categories I will address are installation issues and export issues. Included throughout are resolution for issues like the technical button being greyed out, the “oops” message, the “expired” message and more. I also address Export to grid or repeating tile, how to export as a tiff and how to add a watermark.
Having basic knowledge of Photoshop and Pattern Design is an asset, but use of the Plug-In will be explained right from installation to export. You may have tried using ATD, but now you can learn it in depth. The most important aspect of this course is learning about how to troubleshoot and resolve issues specific to your personal set-up. I try to cover everything I can think of.
I will be demonstrating the creating of a simple pattern from start to finish and we will go right through to exporting it.
Who this course is for:
- Adobe Photoshop and Textile Designer users who are experiencing problems and issues
- New designers looking to understand the Adobe Textile Designer plug in
Instructor
Hello, I'm Delores. I was an art educator for 30 years, teaching graphic design, fine art, and theatrical design. My own education took place at college and university, in Manitoba, Canada, and has been honed through decades of graphic design experience and my work as a professional artist, which I have done for over 40 years (eeek!). In the last few years I have also been involved in art licensing with contracts from Russ, Artwall, Studio El, Trends, Metaverse and more.
This is where I say something existential or clever about my inspiration: The colours of nature and my intuition guide my art: my most generous muses are light, sunshine, and flora. My work ranges through multiple media: my confidence with acrylic paint, ink, marker, collage, pencil, pastels, pencil crayon, watercolour, and digital painting provide many ready paths of self-expression.
But to be honest, often I don’t plan how a piece will ultimately look, but work in many layers, creating new relationships and deepening the complexity, intricacy and subtlety of the images over time. Once complete, I use this art for greeting cards, wall art and many other pieces I sell though art licensing and on products I create for my store. The bottom line? I love to experiment and mix both natural and digital mediums to create everything from very commercial work to very non-commercial fine art abstract paintings (and yes, I do sell these, so I guess they are commercial after all).
I am so excited to share my knowledge with you all in the Udemy universe as this has been one of my favourite haunts. I feel privileged and excited to become an online teacher here amongst some real stars in the art world. Please join me in my classes and follow me. I am sure we will have tons of great adventures together (oh my, so cliché). Anyhow, here we go...
