*This is an easy tutorial that can be done without
any outside filters but I prefer the look of the Simple/Quick Tile filter.
Instructions
Open your tube or graphic in PSP.
Layers/Duplicate twice.
Close the original. Minimize one image. With your eyedropper tool
For the next step, you can use a ready made design, one from your materials pattern box, or make your own. With one graphic image open,
Effects/Simple/Quick Tile
Image/Resize this to a smaller size. I used about 25% reduction.
Now you are ready to begin.
Make a new transparent image 1018 X 630 (or a prefered size. This size fits my 1024 x 768 resolution well). Find your new pattern in your materials box. ![]()
