Creating an image that repeats
Saturday, May 5th, 2007Often, you’ll be creating a template for a website and you run into a situation where your image isn’t large enough to cover the area you need covered. Or you might want to create a greater sense of volume by having a nice image repeat in the background of your header. Whatever your reason, here’s an easy way to do it.
Step 1
Find an image that you want to repeat.

Step 2
Split the image down the middle.

Step 3
Swap the sides of the image. This is done so you know that the outer edges will meet properly.

Step 4
Photoshop the middle of the image. This just takes practice. I find that the clone tool works great here.

Finished
Once you’re done, you just set the background of an element to repeat the image you just created, and this is your final product.
