Photoshop or firewrks..question

1

Ok I am trying to make a seam less bgrd. But what I want to tile is text. But for each line of text I want it to shift to the right. So when I tile the bgrd (or pattern) the text will have the appearance of being diagonally lined up as you look down the page. Not in straight vertical lines. I hope I described that right. If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

in photoshop just type in your text, then raster the text, use the marquee tool to select a square area around the text then go to edit and choose define pattern or something like that good luck :beam:

this works with text or any image you want to use as a pattern, with text you have to make sure its rastered otherwise it wont work :wink:

sorry i didnt check the thread earlier - i didnt use an automated script but methinks i could someday anyway i’ll try to explain:
try to think in term of textures and the way it’ll repeat.

basically what i did was
.: i copied and pasted the same line of text 11 times and kept the same space in between each.

.: i indented the space each time to get the diagonal effect until the last text was aligned with the first

.: i deleted the last one and cropped the image to have a SQUARE having for width 1 line of text
