PhotoLine Tip 32: Create your own fill pattern |
1. There
are several methodes to create a fill pattern. In PL32 you can select Filter/Special
Tools/Generate Background. This function creates a fill pattern with
a simple mouse click. But this function can not be used on pictures which
are drawn with a pencil (lines and points).
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.
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.
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.
