Adobe Textile Designer Free For Anybody

A broad range of textile designers, from major brands to independent professionals to part-timers and hobbyists signed up to test it.

Our team listened closely to their feedback, and used it to make the product even better.

The result is Adobe Textile Designer Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, which will be shown in the Print-Make-Wear exhibit at FESPA, a major industry trade show taking place in Munich from 14-17 May.

In June, Adobe will also exhibit Textile Designer at ITMA (booth H3-A123A), the quadrennial textile technology show (20-26 June, Barcelona).

However, even with the power of Photoshop, repeating artwork often means repeating steps, which can be cumbersome, and can undermine the creative impulse.

The designer must work on the core tile and the overall pattern, simultaneously paying close attention to both the tree and the forest.

Changes to colors and shapes in the core tile must be meticulously propagated to each unit in the full pattern.

Designers can build and preview repeating patterns, define separations, and work with colorways, all within Photoshop, while keeping every element editable, and reversible, until the design is ready for printing.

Like most Adobe Creative Cloud applications, Adobe Textile Designer supports nondestructive elements with independent layers, adjustments, filters, and allowing users to place an Illustrator smart object (vector) in a Photoshop design that can be edited later.

After a design is ready to print, designers can save their work in various formats, and can include XMP metadata in their output files that will be used in the fabric production process.

Designers can be creative today, without worrying how they will print tomorrow.

Adobe Textile Designer is flexible to allow traditional screen and engraved roller printing, as well as the latest digital techniques.
