For this tutorial you will need: Adobe Photoshop - available for purchase here Funhouse filters - Xaggerate - available free here Visual Manipulation (VM) Toolbox- ZoomBlur - available free here Simple filters - offset by 3 - available free here 20-20 - available free here If you want to use the hollyhocks I used, click here. PSD PSP The hollyhocks are in two layers, delete the layer with my name on it. My plugin windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited to manage my plugins. You can purchase it here. I am assuming you know the basics of Photoshop and where the tools can be located. |

1.
Open a new canvas, 250 X 250. Open the graphic you will be
making the background for or you can use a psd
graphic, gif, or jpg. |
|
|
2. Using eyedropper,
choose a pale to medium color from your graphic. I used #DBA9B5. Flood fill the tile with your color. This is just in case you miss a spot in the pasting. |
|
| 3. Copy your chosen graphic or copy a portion of it with the colors you want. Fill your tile with the graphic, re-pasting and moving the pasted down graphic with the mover tool a number of times until the tile is filled to your satisfaction. This is what mine looked like after pasting a number of times. Go to layer, merge down or flatten image. |
 |
| 4. 4. Go to Effects, Funhouse, Xaggerate, both lines set at 255. Apply |
 |
| It should look similar to this. |
 |
| 5. Go to Effects, Visual Manipulation, Toolbox, Zoom Blur, Amount set at 39, Adjust set at 60. Apply. |
 |
| It should now look similar to this. |
 |
| 6. Go to Effects, Simple, Offset by 3. Apply. |
 |
| It should now look similar to this. |
 |
| 7. Go to layer, new layer, color none, mode normal, opacity 100%, click ok. |
 |
| 8. Using same color you used in step 2, flood fill new layer. Go to layer palette and turn opacity down to 50%, leave other settings at default. |
 |
| It should now look similar to this. Merge all and save as a jpg. |
 |
| 8. Open 20-20, open your saved jpg in the program, click on image tab, click muted background, make sure seamless tile is checked, and apply. |
 |
| It should now look like this. It will be seamless. Save and you're done. |
