Textures - I Aint A Beginner lol

Hello everyone, im new here, but not new to photoshop.

anyway, i was wondering how you create your own texture effects, you know like the TV scanlines effect, well i want to create a similar effect, only the scanlines are circular spreading outwards.

how do i do this exactly? can anyone help please?

Taken from the Adobe Photoshop HELP files:

To create a custom pattern:

1 Make a rectangular selection around the part of the image you want to use as the pattern, or you can use the entire image. Note that large images may become unwieldy.

2 Choose Edit > Define Pattern, or choose New Pattern from the pop-up palette menu in the options bar for the paint bucket or pattern stamp tools, or in the Layer Style dialog box when Texture or Pattern Overlay is selected in the Styles panel.

3 Enter a name for the pattern in the Pattern Name dialog box.

The pattern you defined is repeated as tiles within the selection. If you want to reuse patterns, you can create a library of defined patterns.



To define a pattern for use with the pattern tool:

1 Use the rectangle marquee tool () on any open image to select an area to use as a pattern. Feather must be set to 0 px.

2 Choose Edit > Define Pattern and enter a name for the pattern.

3 Deselect the rectangle.

Note: If you are using a pattern from one image and applying it to another, Photoshop converts the color mode.

ok thanks ill try that, and theres no need to be ****y or sarcastic

I just told you that I got them from the help files...in no way was I intending to be sarcastic....I was especially not intending to be ****y.

k whatever,

Listen, i was not attempting to be sarcastic in any way.

Had I wanted to be sarcastic, I would have called you stupid for not even attempting to read your help files.

If you care to disagree with me further, I will not hesitate to call you stupid.

You got your answer, Mattboy wasn't being sarcastic, stevie was in fact the one being sarcastic by saying 'k whatever' to matt and probably rolling his eyes while typing it, so there you go. That sums up the thread and we don't need to say anything else!
