tiling images

[not_spartacus]

Hi,

I'm new here (so be nice )...astonishingly good bit of software!

Anyway, the only thing I can't figure out is how I can take one image and tile it (ie repeat it in a regular pattern).

All help would be appreciated, I'm sure it's really simple and I'm just missing it.

thanks,

Martin

(Psssst! Layers-->Rotate / Zoom)

Rotate/Zoom (Keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Z) can do it very easily by checking the 'Tiling' box and setting the Zoom level to anything below 1.00.

http://www.searchpaint.net with the term 'tiling' (In addition to it being nearly second nature to me. )

Edit: Bugster beat me.

layers rotate zoom works but your end up with perspective image goes from smaller to larger.

depends on final image you want.

you could use different plugins seamless texture maker or multi view wrap.

if you have a set size image you just want to repeat over and over at the same size try the plug in photo flood fill. .

Just use zoom and not rotate you won't get "from small to large"

you know ASh I didn't realize that. but for this person they did not say if they wanted to keep same size image or just a pattern of the picture in the background. does this then do away with photo flood fill totally or should I still keep that in my effects folder.

That would be up to you, many effects can do similar things. (ie. Wobble & Sine wave are quite close and so on)

And different methods can get you the same result.

Personally I would keep as much effects as possible.

Wow, that's excellent! This software just makes everything so simple!

Thank you all, helpful people. I'll try and make the next question more challenging :wink:
