need help creating a template for a tie

[Joe Vickers]

I am in need of help to make this project work.
I have a template for a tie that I am going to put a photo on so the entire tie is covered with the same image. I am trying to figure out how to:
1. get the image to fit the template
2. I would like to have the same image tiled over the entire tie

I put the template that they gave to me for the ties.

Thanks Joe

Perhaps this is what you had in mind....

PS Pattern Fill Tut

Paul that tutorial was great but what I have in mind is to be able to create a composite that I can print on a tie. I would also like to have a composite template that can be reused for other customers.
I have placed the pictures about how they need to be on the tie. What I have done is nowhere near what the final product will look like. I hope I can et some more ideas.


Thanks Joe

Joe,

Here's a way
Make a pattern out of the image you want to fill your tie with.
select the inside of the tie
Create a new layer and fill with white.
Then create a layer above the white tie and fill with your pattern or compose the pictures anyway you want and under the Layers menu select Group with Previous or (CTRL+G) and this will group this layer with your white tie and keep your pictures confined to that space.

Hope this helps.
