First tutorial in a series of tutorials on photo effects & textures.

------------

Summary of Steps:

1.) Open a new image, plugging in the shown settings (according to the type of scan line you are making.)
2.) Zoom in, grab your 1 pixel pencil brush, and paint the layer as shown.
3.) Click EDIT > Define Pattern, and name it.
4.) Open up your stock image, make a new layer, click EDIT > FILL, and select your pattern that you defined.
5.) Zoom in 100%, and you will see your scan lines.
6.) Optional: play with the blending mode (I prefer overlay or soft light) and opacity settings.

------------

If you still need help, comment or note me, and I'll explain it to you the best that I can.

Ahaha, actually I can't even see the scan lines at all unless you look at the full view in the .psd. XD

Know of any way to turn up the effect without making the entire image too dark?

PoeticJustice314 In reply to BayHorseLover [2011-03-08 15:47:40 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes Adobe Photoshop 5.5, other times, Photoshop CS3. Just depends on which computer I'm on :]
