| This effect is available for
grey-scale and 24-bit colour images only. |
|
| 1. Open the image
that you want to use as a source for the pattern e.g. butterfly.jpg |
 |
| 2. Create
a new
blank canvas: go to File > New. Make it quite big to allow for repeats (mine was 800 pixels
by 800, while the figure for the repeat was only 100 pixels x 100) and select white as the canvas colour. |
|
| 3. Click on your
source image to make it active and copy it to the blank canvas: Selections
> Select All, then Edit > Copy. 4. Click on the
blank canvas and go to Edit > Paste as New Raster Layer. You
can close the original image now without saving changes. 5. For the pattern
go to Effects > Reflection Effects > Pattern. You can make
adjustments to vertical and horizontal offsets, number of horizontal and
vertical repeats, rotation angle, exact source of repeat etc in this window and
you can also preview the effect. |

satisfied click OK 7. Flatten your image by going to Layers > Merge > Merge All (Flatten) 8. Save your pattern with a different name from the original e.g. butterfly_pattern1.jpg |
