CF problem...

[Andee_G]

i used to photochop a ton, and did carbon fiber stuff frequently. I relooked up the tutorial on photoshopjunkie and photoshopchop and made the pattern. then i added it as a pattern fill layer; worked fine. but when i try to distort it, it says "could not transform because the initial bounding rectangle is empty" WTF? i tried making the pattern again, and tried pasting it in again, but to no avail. When i did it before, it worked perfectly the first time. could someone plz help me?

P.S. i'm using PS elements

reinstalled photosop, same problem

You have to rasterize the layer. Right click on the layer and choose Rasterize. Lemme know if it works!

couldn't find 'rasterize' with photoshop elements, but i simplified the layer which seems to have solved my problem.

thanks for the inspiration

Maybe i didnt understand your question, but did you flatten your image, before you tried to distort your new layer?
