digital imaging photoshop

Different pictures of trees and leaves I guess, PS.

Photoshop. Would be pointless using illustrator.

photoshop without a doubt. seems pretty well done too!

Have you guys ever worked with textile printing? I've looked up multiple things through Google but, couldn't really find anything useful. All I know is that it is going to be screen printed on a huge barrel with the area of 60" X 25". Only reason why I would think to use Illustrator is for when you want to enlarge the pattern.

you should create a tile from whatever images you are using, that way the pattern can be seamlessly tiled up. a while ago i drew up a little how too:

Yeah I offset the pattern in photoshop.. What should the dpi be set at? It's going to be printed on a bunch of apparel, bed comforters, stickers. There is going to be a huge barrel that includes the design (60" X 25") and this barrel is going to roll over the fabric printing the design onto the material.

Anyone have insight as to how to set up the document? I appreciate it Craig, Anthony, heat, and

well its for print so at least 300 dpi.

I've done window cling advertisements before that the DPI had to be 150, so I didn't know. Thank you Craig!

dude.. that file will be a beast at 300dpi, you might have to go to 150 if it's a detailed photoshop file. I think it will print fine at that resolution.

as a rule it depends on how far away its to be seen from, i would assume that if its for apparel and bedsheets and stickers it needs to be clear.
a single tile at 300dpi shouldnt be too hefty of a file, then its just a case of tiling it up.

What made me think it was digitally done, not a photograph was the background. Doesn't look as sharp as the foreground. I know it wouldn't be as sharp, but I think it should be more vibrant than that.

Yeah, tiling up is where it is going to be tricky. Thank you all for your advice!

Lol Craig as much as I applaud you for making that tutorial, did you have to use a cute heartsy shape for that?

Agreed, a tile of the pattern would be a totally legit file at 300dpi.
