Photoshop :: What's The Easiest Way To Create A Tiled Background Image?
Jun 7, 2005
I have Photoshop CS and I have an image I wanted tiled repeated as a background. I can probably shrink the image and tile it manuelly in the background but I was wondering if there was some easier way of doing it.
I very often need to take the background away from a person the only examples show a solid color background. That is not what I need to know. What I need to do is take a person out of a background without having them look like helmet heads. So often I receive camera-ready ads with photographs that have been revised. The creator uses the lasso tool and cuts a person away from the background and the head looks like a helmet. Does CS4 (or, for that matter, CS3) have an easier way to do that as compared to CS2?
i'm currently working on a header. I've created a tiling background image, 6*6px gif, and I was wondering whether it's possible to insert this, tiled, into the header image. The reason I wanted to do this is because the header contains gradients and looks nasty in gif, so I can't really use transparency. However I don't want to have to manually duplicate the tile a billion times.

The source photos are all different sizes. Is there a faster/easier method of producing something like this rather than resizing every image to fit a predefined size and then manually placing them on separate layers?
I've been using GIMP for a while but it's just recently I've come across this issue as I have to deal with something I've never done before. I have a .gif that I want to tile across the canvas of an image to use as a background. Then I have a normal image I want to show on top of that. The main issue seems to be the tiling, as when I export the whole thing as a gif, it plays each iteration of the gif before going onto the next one. I want to know how I can get them all to play at once.
Just recently I've had a problem with CS6 where it creates a partial (tiled) image when "Edit In" from LR4 and when saving back to CS6 from HDR Efex Pro. THe image may have one or several rectangles which may be black, white, or part of the image that's in the wrong place if that makes any sense. All software is running with current updates.
i'm a first time user of this photoshop CS4. When I open an image to edit it is 'tiled'. How do I turn this off to show the photo as it should be seen? driving me crazy.
I'm hoping there is a way to do this, but I haven't figured it out yet. What I'm trying to do is similar to putting text along a vector line, but I want to use an image that is tiled horizontally instead of text. I don't want the image to be tiled both horizontally & vertical, instead I want it to curve with the vector line like text does so that it looks like lace, either above or below the line, NOT along it. Is this possible in PSPX4?
So some of you may have used, are using or heard of the Fill from clipboard plugin. Is there any way that you can get it to change the size of the image within or stop it from being tiled? Tiled as in picture next to picture next to picture?
I am trying to insert a photoshop TIFF into a Quark document without background data so that I may overlap images. The photoshop TIFF I manipulated and saved is simply an image with the grey and white checkered background. There is only one layer. I assumed that this meant that it would import into the Quark doc without any background color but there is still a white background.
I have a pretty basic knowledge of Photoshop and I am trying to change fabrics on curtains I have managed to do this but now I am trying to use pattern maker to create a tiled pattern with a fabric so it repeats correctly I have worked out how to start this off but every time I generate a pattern and tile it it becomes distorted I have tried increasing the sample detail but this just seems to distort it more.
I thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
I have Photoshop Elements 11. I designed a book cover with Microsoft Word 2010 and saved the file as a Pdf. I want to upload an image of this book cover to various web sites that require a Jpeg image and the book cover has to cover at least 85% of the image and require a pure white back ground. Pixel size can be 1,000 or more. I did go to the library to get reference books but, I can't ascertain from these books how to do this. I am a beginner to Photoshop and realize I will have to get training for future projects. I wanted to upload an image from my computer to show you the book cover but there was a dialogue box that appeared saying the file was too large to upload. The book cover I designed is 8.5' x 11.0"
The engineer I am working for wants me to import a background image from a DXF into Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension from an autocad drawing so he can work on it for design. How do you create a background image as a dxf from the dwg.?
Im new with Paint .Net. What i would like to do is get an image which is 4248 x 3163 and resize it to around 250 px - this was done successfully however the next part of this task was to paste this image onto another background and float it to the right. So you know this is supposed to be a logo.
Now should i create another new paint .net page with the size i have in mind and then paste it to the right?
If yes how could i create a nice background that blends into the image? The type of background i have in mind is a few lines with waves flowing left to right and fading away.
Using WD7 Tweaks,How do I create a 2048 background image Centered and no repeating? If i remember correctly, the tweak is placed over the corner of the background page
Which layer should the Tweak be placed? this code is working but makes the image forced right.or is the new way to copy the code and place in the: Placeholder>HTML code [head]
I'm trying to create a high-res desktop background image (1680 x 1050) with a gradient-fill, but the "steps" between the color changes in the background are obvious and I'd like them to be smoothed out. I know that the fill steps are much smoother when a shape is smaller, but I want this to be high-quality and sharp at full size.
Can the "steps" be adjusted to be smaller, or is there a better way I could go about achieving a smoother fill?
Here's an illustration of what I'm talking about. Hopefully it's obvious enough up on this image (you may have to view it full size):
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.
Not sure what's happened, but the new tiled painting function doesn't seem to be working for me. I tried it once or twice and it was fine, but now I keep hitting 'new tiled painting' and it creates a 3D layer that is totally blank/empty. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
I am using my CS2 on OSX and when I view the image in a full screen mode the color around the image is grey, well it used to be grey but it is blue now. How do I change it back to neutral grey?
I have just upgraded by creative cloud to CS6. I can't find in CS6 the arrange brilliant documents icon which automatically tiles open documents in CS4 in one click. Where it is hidden?
Using PSE 11 wanted to have 2 images on the screen to compare them.I hit Window > Images > Tile, and all my open images, about 15, were tiled.From there I was stuck. I don't know how to select the 2 images I want to compare, and I don't know how to get back to displaying just 1 image.I hit Window > Images, but there's no option to do anything with the tiled images.I opened the Photo Bin, right clicked on different thumbnails, but "Minimize" wasn't available.I ended up writing down all my open images and closing the program.It would be nice to be able to select what images are to appear simultaneously on the screen, or at least get back to having a single image.As it is, I don't see the use of Window > Images > Tile unless you just want to look at a cluttered screen before closing the program.
