Free Image Download Pixabay.

11/30/2021

 

Sharing free image for personal or commercial use in Pixabay.

  Pixabay.com is a website for sharing photos, illustrations, vector graphics, film footage and music, exclusively under the custom Pixabay license, which generally allows the free use of the material with some restrictions.  
Picture
   In particular, if you are blogging, you will use images that can be used as a reference for your article. In my case, as a rule, I use only images I made myself, or if I have to cite  someone else's image, I must indicate the source, but sometimes other images are used. For example, as you can see if you look at the images searched for when you put the keyword," the stock market" , it is difficult to make these images in a hurry. 
Picture

  ​Just click the image below and click the Free Download button.
Picture
 In my case, after getting help a few times through Pixar Bay, I thought I should upload free images.  ​First, click the Upload button as shown in the screen below.
Picture
  ​Click the upload button to upload the image you want to share for free. It should only be at least 3000 pixels and present at least 3 keywords for a high search rate.
Picture
Picture
   Below is the images which I uploaded recently. You can check your pictures in My MEDIA . One person can allow to upload 10 images per a month. 
Picture
  ​Below is the state of the uploaded image displayed on the Pixar Bay site.
Picture
  ​When you sign up for Pixar Bay, you have to input your PayPal address or Merchant ID for receiving donations. If you look below screen, you can find the Coffee button with green color. If someone feel thankful to you, and click the button. You can receive a little money to buy a coffee.

As I moved away from the user's position and became a free image provider, I decided to become a good  contributor in the future.

How to Create a Floral Pattern and Register in Photoshop

  ​It is very useful for artists who work with Photoshop to take frequent flower photos. I will show you how to make and register a pattern using this pattern by picking only large flowers as shown below among recent flower photos.
Picture

  ​First, cut out the flowers in the photo using the Lasso tool on the left menu bar of Photoshop as shown below.
Picture
  ​And make a new layer, then copy the selected flower on it. After then, change the background color as follows.
Picture
  As you may have noticed, it is difficult to register a beautiful pattern if you leave the unfinished border line as above. Go back to the left menu in Photoshop, take out the Smudge tool, change the shape of the brush, and arrange the borders of the edges as if you were editing a picture.
Picture
 Below is the finished result after applying Smudge tool with Soft round pressure brush. 
Picture
  Now it's time to register this picture as a pattern. First, create a new file to create the pattern. The size is 100  x 100 pixels, and the background is set to a transparent background.
Picture
  This setup results in a very tiny screen.
Picture
  Press Control  and +  to zoom in, and then paste the flower image on it. (In my case, I use only flower image without background as follow as below. 
Picture
Picture
 Go to Edit ---> define pattern. 
Picture
 And then make it name for saving. 
Picture
 You can check out the output, when you look at the right panel. 
Picture
​Let's see if the pattern works well.
Picture
 If you want to make the pattern for brush, you have to go Edit---> define brush preset. 
Picture
 If you applied it as define brush preset, you can draw it with brush like below.
