I tried to make a pattern too by scanning a handmade drawing. I saved it as a small .jpg image and when I tile it I get a thin white line on the edges disturbing the color sequence. Is there any way to fix that in photoshop? :/

I've been trying for ten years to figure out how to do something like this. Now that you showed the way it looks so easy. Freaking genius. Thank you.

Hey thanks. I have always had a hard time with this and you explained it in a way that I understood for once.

Offset filter is awsome!

I couldn't get the guide lines to work... but the offset works like a charm!

melemel In reply to DarthTella [2009-09-18 12:00:07 +0000 UTC]

Cool that's good. And yeah, the guidelines thing is redundant really with the offset filter, though it's useful to know about as it's the old fashioned way when they only had paper!

DarthTella In reply to melemel [2009-09-18 12:28:03 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes old fashioned is still the way to go. It all depends on what you're doing really.

draqza [2008-11-30 18:11:15 +0000 UTC]

Another way you can do this, I believe, is just to go to Filter > Other > Offset, type in each pixel box half the width/height of your image, and choose "Wrap Around" for Undefined Areas.

melemel In reply to draqza [2008-12-02 10:05:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes - i realised that after another deviant pointed it out, so I re-did the tutorial on my blog [link] . I'll have to check out the wrap-around feature though - thanks

RennardX [2008-10-27 04:07:28 +0000 UTC]

This is just the thing I needed. I had something I wanted to make into a pattern, but didn't know how to approach it. This certainly simplifies things, now I have a better chance.

Thank you for this tut [and its updated easier version]

Congrats on the DD too!
