Can someone please move this if it doesn't seem to be in the right place. (Also, I don't know if this tutorial has already been done, so if someone has already written this, can you delete this and my apologies to someone who wrote this before I did). I thought it goes in here because it adds an effect to a photo (hence a photo effect! :P lol ).
And thanks to conspired for showing me how he did something like this.
So here goes my 2nd tutorial *clap**clap*:
Ok so if you want to have a square pattern effect (like in my signature) then you came to the right tutorial!
1. File > New..., Start with a new 6px*6px document (yes I know small).
2. Click on theicon (the magnification tool)
3. Keep clicking into the middle of the small image until you zoom all the way.
4. Now click on theicon (the Pencil Tool) and on the left and bottom sides, and make pencil marks every other pixel, so it should look like:
5. Then click on the icon (Rectangular Marquee Tool) and select the whole image, then go to Edit > Define Pattern
6. Then open the document you want to add the square effect to and go to Edit > Fill. Select Pattern in the Contents dropbox and use 30%-50% opacity. Click Ok.
Settings should look like:
7. Now lower the opacity on the layer to 5%-20% and it should look something like:
Except the boxes shouldn't be that big, that image I used 10px*10px, and of course no one used my same sig :P .
Hope this helps!
Derek
