Seamless
Background









First open a new file:
150wide by 150 high.









Paste a texture into the
file, or you may save my texture. To save it, Right Click and
choose "Save As" to download
(Mac: Press and hold mouse button on the image, Select Save from
the popup menu).




Select>All. Now
Image>Crop. This gets rid of any excess data outside the
canvas.








Now
go to Filter>Other>Offset. For Horizontal Enter 75 and
Vertical enter 75. The value is always half of one direction, so
if the image was 50x50, then the offset would be 25x25.









In most images you
should now see seams. We need to cover them up. After we do, then
it becomes a pattern. An easy way to cover up the seams is with
the Rubber Stamp Tool. Select this tool from the tool bar.







 Choose
a soft brush, about 45 to 65 pixels wide. Make sure Caps Lock is
off so you can see the brush radius.









Hold
down the Alt key (Mac: Option) and click on a spot of the image
and then release the Alt key and click once more on the seam to
cover it. By holding down the Alt key and clicking, you copied a
spot on the image, then by clicking again over the seam you paste
it. A soft brush is used to make it blend more.








To save this image as a GIF file for
the web, go to File>Save to Web and compress it.
 







Testing
out the pattern
This is something you might
want to consider after you have finished the pattern.
1.
After you have covered the seams, Select the image: Select>All.

Now go to Edit>Define Pattern.
2.
Open a new image,
make this one much larger like around 500x500 Pixels.
3.
Next, to see what the pattern looks like, go to Edit>Fill.
Select "Pattern" where it says "Use" and click
ok. This should fill the image with the pattern.
