I was hoping someone might be able to direct me or provide me with a step by step tutorial on how to create the background image at
http://www.geocities.com/cshelp2002/

I believe it is a combination scan line with gradient, but my attempts at reproducing it have not been successful.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It can be done manually (!) in less time than it would take to explain how to do it. What were your attempts to reproduce it?

Look at what the background really is… and see if you can do it.

Try this….

File New
Make it the appropriate size and resolution
Name = redscanlines
Set the foreground and background colors to match the light red and dark red colors
Choose the gradient tool
Click on the Gradient thumbnail on the gradient tool option bar Alt-Click-Drag one of the Color Stops on the color bar.
Move the stop to the center of the bar.
You should now have three color stops; left, center, right The next steps set the color of the stops
Click on the left color stop
this makes it active
Click on the dark red color on the tool palette foreground/background color palette.
Click on the right color stop
this makes it active
Click on the dark red color on the tool palette foreground/background color palette.
Click on the center color stop
this makes it active
Click on the light red color on the tool palette foreground/background color palette.
The color bar now goes from dark red to light red and back to dark red Click OK
Click-Drag from the top to the bottom of redscanlines canvas. This paints the canvas with the gradient
Duplicate the layer
On the new layer, add scan lines
Filter/Sketch/Halftone
Size = 1
Contrast = 0
Pattern Type = Line
Layer Opacity = 30

From here you can tweak the scanline layer for more or less effect.

Just make sure you get the limited version and not the one with included spyware. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you very much Mr3. That was a great tutorial and created the effect I was looking for.

There were a lot of techniques that you used that I’ve never had a reason to use before (eg Filter/Sketch/Halftone) so I’ve got a new topic to learn about as well.
