Aug/Sept '19 Lite Challenge: Evermore

[ThomasR]

Thank you Thomas. I did noticed that too but to my regret I don't know how to fix it. This is a pattern that was applied on the frame. I'm sure there is a solution, I just can't figure it out. I'm still new with Photoshop and I'm terrible with frames, this was an attempt to learn something new.

The pattern looks pretty regular. I guess you could :
1- rotate it 45° clockwise
2- on another layer, draw a rectangle of the height of the base frame pattern
3- Fill that rectangle with the same base color as your present frame (maybe add another layer on top with a bit of texture set to overlay or multiply)
4- Add two other layers in overlay mode, one with white for the highlight (top part) and one with the darker part (bottom part)
5- put those all those layers in a folder
6- select said folder and rotate it 45 ° counter-clock wise
7- duplicate the folder and move it to match your pattern and fill your frame (a clipping mask might help set it straight)
8- add the last highlights and shadows

You can remove the linework from 2- or not (maybe make it more discreet for better blending). At the end, you can extract the "frame" folder to another .psd file, duplicate it, flatten it and save the flattened version as a .png file and take it back to your original design for file size optimisation.

Dunno if I'm clear enough or if it is helpful at all but if I had to do it, that's roughly how I'd do it (with some adjustments on the go I guess). If you decide to try it and need a bit of help, do not hesitate to send me a PM

Hello Everyone.
I was able to fix my issue with the pixelated frame. Thank you a lot for your help ThomasR. I actually found another solution but I wouldn't have thought of it without your instructions.
I ended up messing with the color of the frame, again.
Anyway here is the last update.
