Nice! I used gradient maps before but not in this detailed way. I used it just in a general way, to transform color pictures into grayscale ones: they often come out much better than just changing color mode! Thank you for showing us this little gem of productivity to colorize simple patterns by controlling highlights, mid-tones, and shadows, and keeping all the different color versions in the same psd file so that our artwork can be neatly organized and archived.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! When I learned this at my first job, I was mind-blown! You can keep all the different colorways in the same Photoshop file, so efficient!
I am not sure what you mean exactly. You mean if you use your pattern swatches? Since this recoloring technique is an adjustment layer that's added on top of everything else and affects all the layers underneath, theoretically it works on anything
Have you ever used gradient maps before? What do you think of this method? :)
I love this, always a million ways to do things in Ps, this is definitely one I will add to my workflow!
I'm glad you found this PS trick helpful! Indeed, I always learn new tricks in PS every month, it's endless!
This was very interesting. I can apply of my quilt square designs. Great directions,
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah, really! @@ArtBusinesswithNess
Like it!
Glad you like it!
Does not work if you apply a pattern to a rectangle for example, right ?
