Using Photoshop to Create a Pattern

[WalterF]

Thought it would be nice to share how I create tooling patterns from images. May do some more with the difficulty going up.

This is how the pattern was made for my pistol case.

Thanks for the great tutorial. Excellent job. 

I think I need a computer now.

Question: Can you use a laser printer to print on the matte duro-lar transfer paper? It's a plastic type water proof mylar paper. 

Thanks.

Not sure, I tried vellum and had to change the settings to photo for it not to smear. I print on plain white paper and use clear packaging tape on the back and it works great. Cheaper too.
