Vertical Scanlines

[Mika]

Ok, this was the first thing I self taught myself with photoshop and I just wanted to write a tutorial. even tough you guys might know how to this already...this is for beginners. :oops:

1. Create a new document 2x10 pixels with a transparent backround.

2. Once you have created the new image, you'll see that its just a very small image thingy. Good! Thats normal! Lol! Anyway, using the magnifying tool, zoom in until the zoom reaches 1600%.

3. Using the pencil tool, draw a line across the top of the zoomed image.
NOTE: If you cannot find the pencil tool, right click the paint brush tool and select the pencil tool.

4. Now its time to make the pattern official! YAY!! Ok, just go to EDIT>DEFINE PATTERN and call it what ever you wish.

5. Then you can open the picture you want.

6. Create a new layer.

7. Then go to EDIT>FILL and make sure the fill type in the toll bar thing says pattern, then choose your pattern.

8. You're done!

I'm sorry, but photoshop is being mean to me so I can't provide images for the results, I feel so dumb....hope you like the tutorial...
