To the users of Photoshop software to say the grid background easy to make a tutorial.
Don't say much nonsense, start doing ...
1,CTRL+N Create a new canvas and follow the following picture settings (please ignore I'm a compulsive disorder)
2, fill the canvas with any color, since you and I, I use the eyedropper tool to choose the same background color with that picture.
3, what's next? The canvas is built, of course, to draw the grid, how to paint ... This is where the tutorial begins, and we use the method of defining the pattern to complete the grid drawing. So, keep creating a new canvas document (50*50), as shown in the following illustration.
4, fill our new canvas with black, then enlarge the view to 500% for easy reference. Select the line tool and draw a horizontal line with a width of 50 pixels and a height of 1 pixels.
As shown in the following figure. With the left hand hold Shift+alt, drag the mouse right hand to copy the remaining lines, drag interval of 10 pixels.
5, in the same way, it is also done vertically, as shown in the following figure
6, Next we drop the line transparency on the four edges of the grid to 76 (the value is set by itself, I said I was a compulsive disorder, the grid inside the line transparency unified down to 21, start to define patterns, edit-define patterns, give the design arbitrary name you can distinguish between the good, and then click the OK button.
7, then go back to the first new canvas to start with our custom pattern to draw the grid bar, yes, the next is to witness the miracle of the time. Choose the paint Bucket tool,
Select the pattern in the Paint Bucket submenu in the upper left corner and click the inverted triangle next to it, and find the pattern you just defined in the Drop-down menu, usually in the last one.
8, and then create a new layer on the background layer to fill the grid pattern, with the selected paint bucket pattern on the new layer above the click on the good, you will find the grid is filled, as shown in the following figure.
9, let's take a look at the picture we made and the previous one.
10, by contrast, we can see why people's grid so good-looking, our grid does not seem very good-looking. Why our grid line is so thick, people's grid is so meticulous, the same is 1 pixel units, why does it look different? Is it possible to select 0.5 pixels in PS? or a smaller pixel?
Some students will say, adjust the new grid background transparency is good, you can try yo, even if the transparency, the effect is not ideal, even if you zoom out to see, still no one else's good-looking.
I think there must be something wrong, in order to solve this problem, we continue to analyze it ...
11, let's zoom in on our grid background to see why he's so thick, who made him so rough, who allowed him to be so rough? We zoom in to 3,200% and we can see how large a pixel grid is under the reference line. This step brings up the Guide (shortcut key Ctrl+r) and sets the guide unit to pixels.
12, by amplifying the grid background, we finally found the trick, the original line occupies 2 pixels, and some lines occupy 1 pixels, so it led to the final effect of the display so rough, it is not in line with our aesthetic has wood. When we define patterns, we are clearly drawing a pixel line, even in both portrait and landscape.
Why did the paint bucket come out with a 2-pixel line? We might as well go back to defining the pattern PSD document to see what's going on.
13, the observation of the wood there is a little thought, where 2 pixels come out from, said a good pixel? After analysis, I came to the conclusion that the problem is here, as shown in the red callout below. When we remove these two lines redefine the pattern to see what happens.
14, remove these two straight lines, the whole mesh pattern is not closed pattern, at this time we use the same method to redefine the pattern, and give the pattern name easy to identify. Then go back to the canvas and brush it once with the paint bucket tool to see how it works.
15, once again to redefine the pattern, and then paint the bucket painting, we draw the following figure effect. (Remember to reduce the overall transparency of the grid layer to about 30%), by the way compared to the previous figure, see the effect has not been promoted.
16, after redefining the pattern, we find that the problem is out there right, because of why, because the closed grid pattern is automatically merged with the same mesh when painted with the paint bucket tool, creating an edge overlay.
That is to say, the 1-pixel line has been superimposed to become a 2-pixel line, in order to solve this problem, we can remove the edge line when the mesh pattern is defined, so that the pattern is not overlapped when the paint barrel is painted.
As for the distinction between primary and secondary grids, it is up to you to define the pattern by distinguishing between the edge line and the inner line transparency of the grid.
17, design is sometimes so fun, a pixel differentiation will bring a different overall effect, especially in the UI design industry, need too much detail to control.
I hope this article can give the design industry new friends to bring a different perspective, this article also give themselves. Hope that the small friends like, I hope the editor to my first page ah there are wood. High-resolution five-yard tutorials have wood ...
Well, the above information is small compiled to you photoshop this software users bring the detailed grid background easy to create a tutorial to share all the content, you see the users of Photoshop software here, now you are very clear the tutorial, So now go and try it yourself.
