Welcome to Graphic Distractions.
Since the first KPT Background tutorial of
mine came out ... I have had some emails about if it could be
done without using KPT. Had seen many attempts ... and had tried
a few myself .. but none came close. Was so wonderfully thrilled
when RoseMary wrote me to show me that it could indeed be done
without KPT .. and sent me the instructions on how. Being a very
generous lady .. she allowed me to write this tutorial ... thank
you very much RoseMary.
Supplies: Paint Shop Pro 7. It can also quite easily be done is 6
as well.
Unplugged Tools. "Photo Shop Plug in Compatibles" is the one I
downloaded. It will need to be unzipped and placed in the Plug
ins folder for Paint Shop. The path for that normally is
C:\Program Files\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 7\Plugins. If
you are new to Paint Shop, it is likely that you will not have a
folder named Plugins ... it is a good idea to make one. Plug ins
and filters are very addictive and wonderfully useful, so it will
be filling up in no time at all.
Image of choice. If you would like to use the same image that I
am using .. please click on the thumbnail below to view full size
.. where you can then right click and save to your own hard
drive.
Let's play ....
1). Open the florala.jpg in Paint Shop. This image is already 360
x 360 square .. but the nice thing about this is that it does not
have to be square .. it can be any ol size you like.
2). Go to Effects/ Plugin Filters/ Unplugged Tools/
Transition.
Now the settings can be different for each image and that may
sound complicated .. but truly it is not. It will depend on the
image you have selected. What this filter does is that it pulls
the pixel color that is at the edge of the setting across the
image to the other side. So it looks best if the settings are
kept where the image has the most colorful variations in
it.
The settings i used were, Left - 39, Right - 212, Top - 39,
Bottom - 212, Horizontal/ Mix/ Vertical - 128, Transparency -
0.
3). Using the Crop tool, zoom in a bit and find the corner so
that you can crop the tile out of the original image.
4). Go to Effects/ Sharpen/ Sharpen/
5). Now one can use any one of the many seamless tile filters to
make it seamless ... 20/20, FM Tile Tools, Mura Seamless, or
Simple Quick Tile.
Think this would also look great if the Simple Filters were used
on it as well ...
Hope that you have enjoyed this
