Ok I am making a patter for my background, and I want it to be a diagonal shape. The hilarious thing is, I did not realize how much of a problem it was going to be.
ok first of all making backgrounds is easy… I first make a 30×30 pixel pallet and add a small dot or shape right in the middle to give it a pattern… make the background a different color. Then go to edit and then define pattern, name it whatever. The way I test my patterns is then open up new document and make it 500×500… then go to fill and then fill with the patter I just made. My new document then fills like a charm and is an exact indicator on how my webpage will look with a single jpeg or gif file that is only 30×30 pixels big. Because the pattern repeats itself. And there in lies my problem….
I saw a cool design that was a diagonal pattern. However, when I made a patter in PS it was all straight lines by simply adding 1 pixel brush tool with shift to constrain straight. I did that and as long as the lines are horizontal or vertical, it works perfect. Again however, I then rotated the lines and made them diagonal and the pattern gets all messed up when making it into a pattern and then filling it into a bigger document. It simply looks like a bunch of repeated square diagonal designs. HUMPPFFFF… I know this logical makes sense, but is there something I should do or some type of work around?
thanks in advance.
