Creating Seamless Backgrounds
 First what
you will need to do is create an image that you will want to use for a
seamless background (I recommend 100 x 100). I have created a series of
red balls as you can see.... |
 |
 Next go to Filter / other /
offset. In the offset window, select "wrap around" and change
the horizontal and verticle pixel values both to 50. This will cause your
image to be re-arranged so that the edges of the image will line up perfectly
when tiled next to each other. However, (almost always) seams will be formed
in the middle of the image (quite obvious in my example). |
 |
 There are a few ways in which
you can deal with these seams. Many times you can simply use the smudge
or blur tool to remove the seams; or create something new over the seams
that would match the pattern. In my example, I simply created new red circles
of different sizes and placed them carefully so that they covered the seams
from view. This is all you have to do, and the image will create a seamless
background when tiled. Easier than you thought it would be, wasn't it? |
