Lace Trim

Hiya's

I am currently creating a corset and wanted to add a lace trim, Does anyone have any good tutorials on creating lace for photoshop at all?

Thanks

I haven't looked at Robin's tutorial yet but in my personal opinion I think the key is in
creating your own PS brushes by creating or choosing a pattern and and defining it as a
brush.
BTW my instructions are for CS 2
My example is deliberately a crude quick and dirty example to show what a simple process it can be.

Rectangle select your design or pattern in a small scale then go Edit/define brush.
Then it should appear at the bottom of your brush list.
You can also adjust the spacing in the brushes tab at the upper right hand corner.
Drag your brush on a black layer, I use the Eraser mode for this part.
Then make a larger pattern of your design, then if you wish you can define that as a brush
and repeat.
The reason we are repeating and saving the larger pattern examples is so that we can then
reduce the size of our brush in order to achieve a smaller grain to our lace effect.

As you can see mine looks a bit more like a loose wool than lace but if you put a little more time into it you can make some that looks every bit as intricate as real lace.
I am assuming you already know how to handle alpha transparency channels if not refer to
the excellent tutorials in the stickies at the top of the texturing forum.
Another thing you may want to try that I am not too familiar with is creating your design
in vectors which has better resolution at very small scales.

I hope this helped.
