Alternative Scanline tutorial ?

When the tutorial specifys creating a "1 x 3 selection" i am lost. What menu or tool selection makes this happen? Additionally, how are regular ole' horizontal scan lines created?

Thanks!

i may be stupid but this is how i do it

file > new

width is 4 px (only the height matters actually)
height is 2

then just zoom up, fill up one row w/ the color of your choice, then
edit > define pattern
or whatever it is...


hope that helps...

Thanks for the tip. I found and used another tutorial on this great site to make scanlines. Flawless!

I'm still wondering however about a 1 x 3 selection. Does this simply mean 1 x 3 pixels?

yea

great, why dont u share with us that great tutorial that u found about it.
thanx alot

Here's a tut I wrote a while back, hope it helps.

SCANLINES

I normally just draw out a selection with the marquee tool but you can set that tool to be a "set" height & width ;)
