Photoshop Beginner Tutorial - Gingham Texture

In this tutorial I want to show you how you can make a simple, but nice Gingham pattern with Photoshop CS3. The result will be seamless tiling.

You need to have basic knowledge about Photoshop to follow this tutorial.

This is a beginner tutorial and it will be very easy for you to get a nice result.

I'm using the german version of Photoshop, but I hope you can follow the tutorial without problems.

    Sehr gut! I must have a different version of Photoshop than you, because I didn't have all of those options available, but I was able to use your tutorial to figure it out anyway.
