Jungle Tile Tutorial PSP 8 This tutorial was created 17th May 2003©Copyright Artwork by EssexGirl please do not copy it, or put it anywhere else without my written permission. *NOTE* Sometimes the links for filters change, it's difficult (and a lot of work) to keep changing them on individual pages, so I have created a page with links to filters and programs that I have used in my tutorials. That way it is easier for me, because when there are changes I will only have one page to update and hopefully better for you, because I'm less likely to miss a page out when doing the updates :) You will find links to filters/programs used in this tutorial Here the link will open in a new window Filters and programs used in this tutorial :- Paint Shop Pro OPTIONAL: 20/20 Materials :- There is a text file included in the zip, if you don't know where to place the items. My sg_spider texture Here Some images have been made smaller to shorten file size

Please Note* My tutorials were written for people to learn from, so PLEASE DO NOT SCRIPT THEM.

Step 1. I have stated the colours, texture and blend modes that I used to make my tile, but please feel free to experiment with your own. On the materials palette click on the foreground materials box. In the dialogue box change the colour to #00FF00. Put a tick in the texture box, click on the little arrow beside the texture window to open up the list of textures available and choose sg_spider. Angle=341, Scale=100 Open a new image 300 x 300 colour=#3E777E

Step 2. Go to Layers...New Raster Layer... Flood fill with the spider texture Go to Layers...Duplicate...then Image...Mirror

Step 3. In the layer palette, change the blend mode of 'raster 1' to soft light and the blend mode of 'copy of raster 1' to exclusion. Go to Layers...Merge...Merge all. The tile has quite a nice soft look and if you like this better than the final version, you could skip the next step and go on to tile it seamlessly as in step 5.

Step 4. Go to Effects...User Defined... From the dropdown list of presets at the top of the screen choose High pass. This is not the 5x5 High pass which is near the top of the list, it is further down the list, below glass edges. If you are using the beta version, this preset may be missing. I have included a screenshot of the settings here.

Step 5. This image tiles horizontally but the vertical join shows up, so we will us PSP's new tiling feature to remedy that :) Go to Effects...Image Effects...Seamless Tiling... Tiling method=corner, Direction=vertical (if you have used different colours or blend modes, you may have to use bidirectional), Vertical offset=0, Transition=8 To make the muted version of the tile, copy and paste as a new image in 20/20, then on the image tab, choose muted background. Adjust the slider to get the opacity that you want. Alternatively, you could add a new raster layer, flood fill with white (no texture), lower the opacity of the layer, by moving the slider in the layers palette, then merging all layers. You can resize the tile if you like. I resized mine to 200x200 using bicubic resample.
