Is it possible to rotate a pattern fill in photoshop? I need to make a maze for a project, but I can't rotate a pattern to have the right perspective.
I found the vanishing point in Photoshop, but I can't seem to get it working, even with some tutorials found on the web.
When I go to Edit > Transform Path, I can rotate it, but not the right amount of degrees.
I included a screenshot of my work, hopefully it helps to understand my question.
Thanks a lot in advance!
You don't want to rotate, as that wouldn't give the correct perspective.
Instead, create a rectangle about the size of the wall if it wasn't distorted, then apply the pattern to that.
In the layers panel, completely rasterize the new rectangle.
Go to Edit>Transform>Perspective to correctly distort the image, and place it in the right spot.
Once you've applied your pattern, right-click on said layer, then create layer, this will put any and all effects on their own layer, then just select the pattern layer and rotate it as normal.
I had the same problem in the middle of a dead line so I had to find a quick way around this! Rotate the canvas instead of the pattern, then apply the pattern and rotate back. Might not be the best way but it works!
