How to Create Tile Backgrounds - Page 2

Let's start with the tiled graphic that we created and continue to modify it.

With the tiled graphic selected go to the Filter menu and select Blur --> Motion Blur

From the Filter menu select Other --> Offset

Choose the middle area (about 1/3) including the hard edge and repeat the Motion Blur effect.
Use the selection tool from the photoshop toolbar and make the selection.

Then repeat the Motion Blur filter effect that we used above. The result should look like this.

You can change color of this tile using the Hue/Saturation adjust menu.
Retest the pattern by defining a pattern like we did on page one.

Now Continue on to the third page.
