Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 22, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 22, 2019 Anybody using PS or IL to make patterns? Other software using .psd files?

mikesc Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Depends on what you want to do with your.psd files..gimp ( freeware, cross platform, open .psd, edit .psd, save to .psd..if you don't need to work with layers ). Latest version is much more powerful than previous ones. https://www.gimp.org/features/ inkscape for vectors ( like illustrator ) https://inkscape.org/ HTH Edited August 22, 2019 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 22, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 22, 2019 So nobody actually using those to make HOLSTER PATTERNS then... just me 'n' Bruce I guess.

Ah..to make Holster Patterns ..a word was missing earlier, should ha' guessed I suppose ;).. Gimp and inkscape would work for those too, don't get a lot of call for Holster patterns, or leather holsters where I am, not "my market"..there is a "western dress up" market here though. I just never bothered with it..you really don't want to hear country music songs in French*..Nor rock*, nor Reggae*, nor Hip-Hop*..nor Pop* ( part from a few exceptions, one of whom died and got a state funeral ) Uniformed forces here tend to use Kydex ( and similar holsters ) , others buy theirs ( leather holsters ) when they are in the USA. *It is even worse when you can understand all the lyrics, and how they bust a gut because it must always rhyme, even if that makes the words sound ridiculous.."uh" gets added to the end of many words at the end of lines, to make them rhyme with the word that had "uh" added to the end word of the line, one or two lines before..

Just thought maybe if some you boys 'n' gals was using PS or IL, might want a copy of this digital graph paper I use. No matter... it's very basic (but useful) stuff that anybody could do (and maybe already did). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Tommy765 Posted September 30, 2019 Members Report Posted September 30, 2019 I just need a simple slimjim pattern for an 1860 army. Quote
Members Hildebrand Posted September 30, 2019 Members Report Posted September 30, 2019 For that particular gun, I would download the How to Make Holsters book from Tandy and make my own pattern. Western style patterns for revolvers are a great starting point and some of the easiest to make yourself. Todd Quote
