Install patterns on SAIby *Sayuki-hime

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Application Reference / Paint Tool Sai

PLEASE READ!!

I've got several comments of people who are wondering how they can't install their patterns. I resolved every problem and that's ALWAYS because people forget something, because if you follow every step, then it works 100% everytime ^^
If you're planning to ask me why you can't use your pattern please check this :

- your file has to be a .bmp file;
- it should have the size 512x512 px;
- it must keep transparency, for exemple a .jpeg (that turns transparency into white areas) turned into a .bmp file won't work because the transparency already has been deleted;
- your file must be in grayscale mode (a rgb file turned into black&white isn't a grayscale file! ^^)

If you follow those steps, there's not a single reason your pattern won't show!

But if you still don't succeed to install it, don't hesitate to show me your pattern in the comments and I'll tell you what's wrong ^^

----------------------------------------

Last summer, I searched how to install patterns on SAI, because I don't really like to use it with photoshop... So now, here is a tutorial on how I do this, I hope it would help

Download for full view and have fun

Edit : RGB can also be turned into Grayscale by using the Gimp (free software), just choose image -> mode -> Grayscale

where can i find a grayscale file?QmQ i've been searching all over for it

*Sayuki-hime Mar 3, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I don't think you will find a grayscale file... To turn a normal file to grayscale like my tutorial shows is the best way to find one xD there's many free softwares which enable you to do that

omg,i'm such a dork, XD
okay,,
so..
i used photoshop 6.0,
i can see/use the new brush texture but it works like a normal texture/brush..i followed ur instructions..but..i failed

i already tried playin with the brush shape affection and size..

btw,after we change d pattern to grayscale in photoshop,can i save it as bitmap?coz when i try to open d psd file,it says 'color mode is only accepted 8bit RGB in PSD loader' QmQ?

Hello
