Yo dudes, Im trying to make a diagonal patter type effect, I have seen it on many sites and I cant figure out how to make it. I keep trying on Photoshop with define pattern etc. I can do it with horizontal lines but how do I do it with diagonal? Is there a tut or can someone send me a patten or just tell me how to make it? Thanks :h: ---

First make a new fil 4/4 pixels. ![](http://www.cocoj.ro/tut/unu.png) Then zoom it to the max and draw this with any color you want ![](http://www.cocoj.ro/tut/doi.png) At the end hit edit/define patern. You have your patern now and you can aply it on any object you want and will look like diagonal lines. ![](http://www.cocoj.ro/tut/trei.png) ---

right… just zoom in really close to a small image… something like 5x5 or 4x4 pixels… id define a black diagonal line and a white background… then i just Edit \> Fill \> Pattern \> then select the pattern i just defined… then i use the magic wand tool with the Anti-liasing off to select all the white Background (similar), then either delete it or fill it with a new color… same goes for the black diagonal line… ---
