You can add patterns to your designs, including gridlines and scanlines.
Part I: Gridlines
Use the pencil tool to draw two lines on the left and top edge on a transparent canvas. The canvas size is up to you. I used 20x20 pixels.
Go to Edit>>Define Pattern. Open the image you want to use. Select Layer>>New Layer. That way, you can edit different parts of it at the end. Then, Go to Edit>>Fill. For use, select pattern and choose the pattern you want to use. You can also change the layer mode and opacity. You should have a pattern over your image.
Part II: Scanlines
Use the pencil tool to draw a dot on a 1x2 canvas for vertical scanlines and 2x1 for horizontal scanlines.
Part III: Checkerboards
Use the pencil tool to draw a square that is one fourth of the canvas size on the top left and bottom right corner. The canvas size is up to you. I used 20x20.
Part IV: Dots
Use the pencil tool to draw a dot in the middle on a 3x3 canvas.
Here are some examples:
These are only a few examples of patterns you can make. Be creative with your pattern designs.Help
