The main difference between the tools is that with the Healing tool Photoshop will try to assist you in blending the two areas together, which can be good or bad in different situations. If you aren’t too familiar with the Clone and Healing tools, it’s simply a case of holding down the alt key and left clicking the mouse to sample an area, then releasing the alt key and using the mouse again to paint that sample somewhere else. With either tool selected in Photoshop, use a soft round brush and start sampling over the creases which should form a cross shape intersecting in the centre of the document. So we will just use the Clone tool or Healing Brush tool to disguise the seams. Luckily for us this sample tiles really quite well already, in fact it’s difficult to make out the seams at all on first glance. So if your image is 1000 x 1000 pixels enter 500 for both values as show in this image: Enter exactly 50% of the width and height values of your image into both the Horizontal and Vertical fields. To test how well your selection loops, we use the ‘Filter > Other > Offset’ function in Photoshop. It also emphasises the importance of selecting an appropriate area in the previous steps. This is the stage which defines the rest of the process, and how much work you’ll need to do. For example if you want a 512 x 512 pixel seamless pattern, try to select somewhere in the region of 1000 x 1000 of the original pixels, because you can always resize the image later. Any areas that are too distinctive may be difficult to work with, so try to select a generic area of the texture, and avoid drastic changes in overall light levels, really obvious patterns or cutting elements in half.įor the best results I suggest using a square shaped sample with a 1:1 ratio, and try to make your selection larger than the size you eventually want it to be. The first step is to select an area of the texture that you want to work with, you should give this some thought and careful consideration. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a small section of that texture and set it to repeat seamlessly? Well, with a little know-how and a few minutes in Photoshop that’s exactly what you can do!įor this example I’ll be using concrete-texture-9.jpg (free download) from the 30 High-Res Concrete Textures set on Medialoot. Or optimising the image, reducing its resolution, and then also having to decide whether to stretch the image out or allow users with larger displays to see the background image abruptly stop.

But now you’re faced with the dilemma of using the texture in it’s full glory and drastically slowing down load times on the site. For example imagine you’re designing or coding a website, and you or your designer found a gorgeous high resolution wood texture that would look great for the background.
