Description

In this class, Troubleshooting Adobe Textile Design Issues, I will try to cover all aspects of the Adobe Textile Designer Extension and Plug Ins. I have gleaned many topics from the Adobe Textile Designer Forums where users try to find resolutions for issues. I have also personally run into issues that I will resolve on screen to help clarify roadblocks and pitfalls. The two main categories I will address are installation issues and export issues. Included throughout are resolution for issues like the technical button being greyed out, the “oops” message, the “expired” message and more. I also address Export to grid or repeating tile, how to export as a tiff and how to add a watermark.Having basic knowledge of Photoshop and Pattern Design is an asset, but use of the Plug-In will be explained right from installation to export. You may have tried using ATD, but now you can learn it in depth. The most important aspect of this course is learning about how to troubleshoot and resolve issues specific to your personal set-up. I try to cover everything I can think of.I will be demonstrating the creating of a simple pattern from start to finish and we will go right through to exporting it.
