    A stupid Photoshop question

    Well, this may be stupid, but I haven't been able to figure it out after months, and no guides have helped me. It's actually rather simple, but I was wondering how to get a certain effect in Shop. It's common when I download simfiles, there are horizantal lines across the image.

    Examples below:




    Please tell me HOW I get those effects. I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!!!

    Thanks, say google and be terminated

    It's easy, just use a scanline pattern and set it to overlay or darken 4%-16% depending on the bg.

    Here, I'll get you started.

    It's at 640x480 resolution, which is standard for backgrounds in stepmania.

    PM me if you find the secret.

        lol, that's it... Well, what's the easiest way to make a scanline pattern like that?

        And thanks for that, now I can start experimenting.

          Make two long vertical lines across the canvas. One white, one black. And then copy and paste, and merge everything.
          My little corner of Local Reality Quotes:

          Zack: Okay, I've got tampons, a Venus razor, now to stop at Victoria's secret.
          Joe: Uh, I think you're taking this joke a little too far. Seriously. I can understand going off to buy a bra, but TAMPONS? You're starting to kill the joke. And do I really have to come with you?
          Zack: Shut up. It's funny.

            Here:



            Convert that into a Photoshop pattern, then Pattern Fill your canvas on a new Layer. Set the Mode to Overlay/Softlight at a low Opacity.
