tutorial: fill layers in PS

[crazydiamond_]

This is a tutorial for Photoshop, later versions including 7 and CS. Basic knowledge of PS is expected in order to follow this tutorial. This is very image-heavy; dialup users are warned.

looks like the pattern fill did it

yeah, but i wanted to know which pattern cuz i can't seem to find it :(

I made it myself. You can make it for yourself, too. Just open or make whatever you want to become the pattern, then click Edit > Define Pattern. Then when you create the fill layer for a pattern and the selection window with all the patterns pops up, it'll be right there, the last pattern on the list.

...lol, I never made fill layers like that! I usually just make a new layer and get the paint bucket/gradient tool to fill it. And I've been using photoshop for 5 years. *headdesk* XD Mem`ing!

That's how I used to do them, too, but this is so much easier if I want to change the flood-fill. Glad it taught you something new :)
