Secret of Photoshop textures (seamless texture advanced production)

Second, seamless texture production advanced skills
Now let's talk about some advanced techniques for seamless textures.
(i) Cross-selection method in general, a lot of texture light for offset processing, it is possible to achieve the boundary of the junction, but in the image center will appear unsightly scratches, by learning the following example we can learn how to eliminate these scratches. 1 Create a new file size of 500x500dpi. 2 Select Filter->other->clound, as shown in Figure I. (Here, using clound, just randomly generate textures to test the cross selection method.) ）

Figure I

3 Select Filter->other->offset, horizontal and vertical distances each 250 pixels, and select the Wrap around option. 4 you can see that the image Center has a cross-type of scratches, using lasso tool (shortcut key L) in the middle of the picture to select a cross type, select Select->feather, the value of 16, as shown in Figure Ii. 5 Run again Clound filter, now the middle of the trace disappeared, and the picture to achieve seamless. Note that the key to the cross selection method is the 4th step, no matter what filter the original texture is generated, as long as the 3rd and 4th, repeat once you can get the perfect seamless effect. For photo footage, you can save the selection and cover the central Cross by covering the cross section of the original picture before step 3rd to the image after step 3rd. In short, cross-selection method can be used in many ways, we can extrapolate.

(b) Staggered splicing method The next way to tell you is very interesting, as if as a child to play puzzles. 1 Create a new file of size 250x250dpi, run the Clound filter. 2 Select the diagram (shortcut key CTRL + a) and choose Edit->copy. 3 Select Image->canvas Size, change the image size to 500x500dpi, and set the start anchor (anchor) to the top left corner. 4 Select Edit->paste, select Edit->transform->filp Horizontal, and place the new layer in the upper-right corner of the picture. 5 Select Edit->paste, select Edit->transform->filp Vertical, and place the new layer in the lower-left corner of the picture. 6 Select Edit->paste, select Edit->transform->filp Vertical, then select Edit->transform->filp Vertical, and put the new layer in the lower right corner of the picture. (See figure III) 7 Choose Layer->merge Visible, OK, you now have a seamless texture. Next, we will formally start to learn a variety of texture effects.
