textures1 Turn a Texture into a Seamlessly Tiled Background

Tiled backgrounds are great for both website backgrounds and in all kinds of Photoshop work. They are particularly useful when working with textures where you need a larger overall background than the small image you have to work with. In this quick tutorial I’ll take you through taking a texture and turning it into a background image ready for seamless tiling. It’s a useful little technique that’s been around forever.

So the first step is to grab the main image and then crop into a section that doesn’t have the really dark corner patches. Something like the box shown above.

Here is our segment. I’ve actually shrunk it down a bit so that the texture isn’t so oversharpened. Now although it’s mostly evenly coloured, we could do with lightening the edges. The more even we can get the image the better as slight differences are quite glaring when the background is tiled.
