How to create such fill patterns will be explained here with a puzzle.
First of all scan a puzzle and create the outline like descriebed in tip 29.
2. Try to
find a place in the puzzle that can be used for repeating and redraw the
outline.
3. Create a rectangle lasso on
the left side
and move the selection to the right side, so that it will fit to the
background
Now select Layer/Selection to Layer.
4. Activate now the background layer
and change this layer so that it will exactly mach to the layer 1. When
you are ready, you can delete layer 1.
Do the same with the top border of the puzzle.
5. When you have done this cut out
the repeatable part of the picture.
6. Now select Tool/Color/Select
Color. Select the white color and activate Destination Alpha.
7. The fill pattern is ready now
and you can move it to the pattern list. Use the layer move tool from the
toolbar to do this.
You will have no problem, when you drop the fill pattern onto the slider
of the pattern list. PL32 will add the pattern to the bottom of the list.
