Creating seamless texture

This show tip will show you how to create seamless texture.

We got a simple ground texture here - 320x320 big.

As you can see when we try to make a horizontal pattern an ugly seam is visible. We'll try to fix that.

Go to the filter menu and choose filter/other/offset.. Our texture is 320 wide so +130 value for horizontal -that will move our image 130 pixels to the right. After that we can notice seam -place where ends of image meet.

What we have to do know is make seam unvisible by overpainting cloning parts of image and so forth. I covered seam mostly with 1px brush picking colors with eyedropper tool

When done, we have to move image to its base position by moving it 130px to the left -choose filters/other/offset.. and write "-130" value

Now we can see how it works. Repeating texture gives us nice pattern without seams. We can of course do the same thing vertically when needed. .

Ok, hope it's good enough for doing some textures... You can find some texture down
