Question- How do you make repeating images?

[JDmino]

G'day G'day,

I am not sure if I was clear in the title, but what I am asking is, how do I make an background that has a really smooth repeat, so it does not look messy in websites etc.? And I am also currently looking for a good guide on how to make an ice texture, if someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks,

*JDmino*

EDIT:

My question has been answered, there is no need to post in the thread. Thank you.

I made this with the solution I was given:

There is also another image I made in the last post I made.

Well, the image you wanted to tile would have to match at the edges. What I mean is the bottom edge would have to be able to run on to the top and vice versa. Same with the sides. Can upload screenshots when I get home if you want.

There are a few plugins you should try:

• Tile Image (with "Join Edges" checked)
  Seamless Texture Maker
  Mirror

You could also just use the Layers> Rotate/Zoom with the "Tiling" box checked, and shrink the size

Okay, thanks for the help. I will find the plugins that you suggested and install them. I will post what I can come up with when I am done.

Thanks,
