Scanlines Tutorial


This is a simple tutorial in making an awesome scanline effect! Follow the steps and see the final result.



First of all, pick a banner/graphic. This is where the scanlines will appear.

Click File --> New size 29 x 29 Next, go layer --> New Layout and call it anything you like
Click on the pencil tool and pick any color you like (that will be the scanline color)
On the new layer, draw three diagonal squares
After you do that, you have to delete the background layer.

This is the pattern step, go Edit --> Define Pattern
Call the pattern anything (you can call it the color name and then diagonal pattern)

This is the important step. Go back to the banner/graphic you are going to do the scanline effect on. On that graphic, go layer --> New Layer and call it anything.
Now go, edit --> Fill
Chose the pattern and then change the opacity to overlay and then to an opacity like 60% or 40%
You can change the opacity depending on what you like.

You're Finished!
