Backgrounds made in PSP 9, as stated before. My settings had been reset but backing into the image my settings were close to these:
Offset settings: -26 horizontal, 20 vertical, Custom, Repeat.
Seamless Tiling: Mirror, Horizontal, Horizontal offset 54%, Width 15%, Transition 21%
Actually, I came up with an offset that I just had to add...so there are 16 pages to the examples.
Love interesting plaids... Would need to use a table with colored background over it but this would be neat around the outside!
Offset setting: 148 horizontal, -99 vertical, Custom, Repeat.
Seamless tile: Mirror, Vertical, Vertical offset -1%, Width 64%, Transition 88%
I like offset for plaids, and when you do multi-layers they can get quite interesting.
And I love to work with LAYERS. Make duplicate layers of the same image, apply a different effect to each layer, then adjust transparency and/or other settings for each layer for FUN effects. None of the images in this batch uses layers except the PEELING image on the front page (I added tonight).
