Quick Hue and Cry Backgrounds
All of the text and images in this tutorial are copyrighted. have a peek at the link below to learn more about what "copyright" means.
Needed Tools
This is a REALLY quick and easy tutorial, 2 minutes to complete Open a brightly colored tube, anything, a flower, etc. Duplicate and close the original to preserve it. SHIFT + S to bring up your resize window. Uncheck your maintain ration button. Resize your tube to 200 X 200
Apply your Hue and Cry settings. There are some settings that you can play with here. Select the shape (I used Diamonds) and the Merge level. (I used 2 as that was the one that kept my image the brightest.)
When you have it that way you want it, click ok to apply the effect. If you have a Tiling effect, such as simple, use it and you're done
if not, no problem Open a new image 500 X 500 fill with your image. Press CTRL + E to paste a copy of your image right smack in the center.
Selections > Convert to Seamless pattern VOILA. Save your background, you're done. GREAT job...see I told ya it was easy Have a peek at my Weave tutorial to see another cool effect that you can do with your current background http://www.pixelbit.com/tutorials/weave_background
Have fun!
