Jungle Tile Tutorial

PSP 9

*NOTE*
Sometimes the links for filters change, it's difficult (and a lot of work) to
keep changing them on individual pages, so I have created a page with
links to filters and programs that I have used in my tutorials.
That way it is easier for me, because when there are changes I will
only have one page to update and hopefully better for you, because I'm
less likely to miss a page out when doing the updates :)

You will find links to filters/programs used in this tutorial Here
the link will open in a new window

Filters and programs used in this tutorial :-
Paint Shop Pro
OPTIONAL: 20/20

Materials :-
There is a text file included in the zip, if you don't know where to place the items.
My sg_spider texture Here

The tile is shown on the background of this page

This tutorial assumes that you already know where to find the
tool boxes and palettes and have set up the workspace and
preferences to suit yourself.
Some images have been made smaller to shorten file size

Please Note*
My tutorials were written for people to learn
from, so PLEASE DO NOT SCRIPT THEM.

Step 1.
I have stated the colours, texture and blend modes that I used to
make my tile, but please feel free to experiment with your own.

Open a new image 300 x 300
colour=#3E777E

On the materials palette click on the foreground materials
box. In the dialogue box change the colour to #00FF00.
Put a tick in the texture box, click on the little arrow
beside the texture window to open up the list of textures
available and choose sg_spider.
Angle=341, Scale=100

Step 2.
Go to Layers...New Raster Layer...
Flood fill with the spider texture

Go to Layers...Duplicate...then
Image...Mirror

Step 3.
In the layer palette, change the blend mode of 'raster 1' to
soft light and the blend mode of 'copy of raster 1' to exclusion.
Feel free to try the different blend modes on both layers.
Go to Layers...Merge...Merge all.

The tile has quite a nice soft look and if you like
this better than the final version, you could skip the
next step and go on to tile it seamlessly as in step 5.

Step 4.
Go to Effects...User Defined...
Use these Settings.

Step 5.
Go to Effects...Image Effects...Seamless Tiling...
Tiling method=corner, Direction=vertical (if you have used
different colours or blend modes, you may have to use bidirectional),
Vertical offset=0, Transition=8

To make the muted version of the tile, copy and paste as a new
image in 20/20, then on the image tab, choose muted background.
Adjust the slider to get the opacity that you want.
Alternatively, you could add a new raster layer, flood fill with
white (no texture), lower the opacity of the layer, by moving the
slider in the layers palette, then merging all layers.

You can resize the tile if you like.
I resized mine to 200x200 using bicubic resample.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
