• Graphics Tips Photoshop Tips #6- Seamless Background
    Step One Make a new file that is square (this example uses 80*80 pixels). Fill it with any color.
    Step Two Draw anything in the square. To create a simple clouds pattern, I just selected the entire image and then selected FILTER/RENDER/CLOUDS.
    Step Three Now we are ready. Select FILTER/OTHER/OFFSET and enter in 1/2 of the width or length (40 for this example). And then select WRAP AROUND.
    Step Four Now using the clone tool, blend the middle of the image so that there are no seams. Try not to touch the sides of the drawing or it may create another line.
      Step Five Save the background and you're done. Look at the two examples below. The first example shows the background after step 2. The second is the finished seamless background. Can you see the major difference?
