749 Combining a tile pattern with a photograph

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now this week we're gonna take that Type 15 pattern…with which we've been having so much fun with…and we're gonna combine it with a photograph.…And this is a great example of Illustrator…and Photoshop working together.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, we're gonna start things off…ever so briefly here inside Illustrator.…At which point I've gone ahead…and opened my Type 15 pentagon pattern,…which I've converted to an automatically repeating…rectangular tile pattern.…

And by the way, it's worth noting…if I go ahead and click on the pattern…in order to select it.…And when I say pattern I've really selected a big rectangle…that's filled with the pattern.…I'll now go up to the Window menu…and choose the Appearance command…to bring up the Appearance panel.…At which point I want you to see…that I've applied a dynamic Transform effect.…And so if I were to click on it…you would see that the Rotate value…is set to an Angle of 30 degrees…
