a really stupid question

[Museum]

i've been into graphics for a while now, and this is gonna sound really stupid, but how do i put diagonal lines going over the top of my sig? and nobody tell me they don't know what i'm talking about... everybody knows...
thanks,
Silver

It's all about patterns.

Start a new document.
3px by 3px
Make this pattern using the rectangular marquee tool and paint bucket. :



Or there is horizontal scan lines :



Edit>Define Pattern

Now in your new document press Ctrl+A or select a space using a marquee tool or whatever.

Edit>Fill>Pattern then select your pattern.

ok so once you have made the horizontal scan lines on a transparent backround, you go to edit>define pattern, Do you have to select the pattern before hand? And once this is done

I go to the sig and slect the whole thing (ctrl+A) and then 'Edit>Fill>Pattern then select your pattern' Is the pattern temporarily stored in photoshop so i can select it?. And once this is all done dont you have to do anything else?

ahhhh i get it thanks s3ph

[S3phiroth]

I can't actually remember if you have to select the pattern before defining it, probably so just do ctrl+a.

And it is stored in photoshop forever unless you delete it, there shouldn't be anything else you need to do, unless you want to change the blending or whatever.
