6 Knitted Photoshop Actions – Help File

6 Knitted Photoshop Actions

This set contains 6 Photoshop actions that will allow you to create realistic knitted

and fur effects out of any text, shape, raster. The knitted furry effect can easily be modified

and customized after the action is ended. You can use one of the 12 stitch brushes included

in this pack.

The end result has the layers intact so that you can customize and edit the effect as

you will see in the customization section.

User Customization

The action stops while is being played so that you can edit different settings like layer

styles, stitch type, size and color, etc. Many of these settings can be changed and customized

after the action is ended.

After the action is ended you have a number of layers that you can edit and customize.

I will explain the layers from the “knitted 3x border” action, which returns the highest

number of layers:

– “thin border” smart object layer:

Double click on the thumbnail to open the object and edit the Stroke size .

You can also modify the layer styles, for example the Color Overlay sets the

color of this border.

– “knitted by psddude” smart object layer

Double click on the thumbnail to open the object and edit the shape/text

Color Overlay or Pattern Overlay . DO NOT change it with another image,

nor modify the shape/text because the rest of the layers will not update. You

can also modify the layer styles of this smart object.

– “thin border shadow” layer

In this layer you can modify only the Drop Shadow effect

– “choose stitch border” layer

This layer is generated while the action is being played, when you get to

choose the Brush type, size, color. You can make this layer visible and

create interesting effects.

– “stitch” layer – this layer contains the stitch effect. You can modify the layer

styles, the most important being the Color Overlay .

– “border” layer – this layer contains the knitted/leather border; you can adjust

the layer styles like Color Overlay to change the color. Also you can choose

from the two textures: knitted(scale 50%) or leather(scale 100%).

– “fur border 2” layer – use the “fur brush” to add extra fur effects; use a

darker color for the brush to obtain contrast.

– “fur border” layer – this contains the fur effect. You can change the layer styles

and also you can add Color Overlay to change the color like shown in the

preview.

– “threads border” layer – if you hide the two “fur layers” , you can use this

layer instead.

– “background” layer – you can replace it with any background that you like
