photoshop picture edit/effect help

[metsatöll]

Hi,

It could be funny or strange for you but 5 years ago when I started to design webpages, photoshop seems to complex to work with it, and I started to work with paint shop pro, right now I regret my decision what I made before, because limited offers of paintshop pro is not helping me at all.

I would ask a simple help (actualy imagination) from anyone who could change attahed image for me, as suitable to my project.

For this project I am trying to make a picture like this (the picture on the left of screen fixed and doesnt scroll with the page)

Can any photoshop expert could make me attached by the same of that reference image?

Do you mean the white grass-like shapes along the left edge of the image?

Something like the attached?

I didn't put a fancy edge on it, but the flowers are a seamless repeat pattern (vertically) that you can shrunk to fit. If you can use a repeating pattern down the side, it will be a smaller image file.

Just a thought.

@moodsr4cattle I will resize the picture and I will add it to site as fixed background so it wont move,

@tamlin, that is excatly what I wanted, thank you

Glad I could help. For future reference, here's a quick rundown of how to do it:

1. Create a new layer (this isn't essential, but I usually like to keep everything on separate layers if possible).

2. Select white as your foreground colour.

3. Select the Brush tool. From the Brush drop-down menu, select Reset Brushes to load the default brush set (if it isn't already loaded).

4. Choose the Grass brush. Make sure Mode is Normal and Opacity and Flow are both set to 100%.

5. Press F5 to open the Brushes palette.

6. Click on Brush Tip Shape and then type -90 in the Angle box.

7. Click on Scattering and type 8 in the Count box.

8. Make sure that Color Dynamics is unchecked (otherwise your grass shapes will be varying shades of grey).

9. Position your brush in the top left corner of the image and click.

10. Position your brush in the bottom left corner, then hold down the Shift key and click again. The whole of the left edge of the image will now be overlayed with a line of horizontal white grass shapes. You can fill in any gaps with single clicks of the brush tool.

Obviously, the brush can be rotated to draw a similar border on any of the other sides - just change the value in the Angle box in step 6. Bottom border: Angle 0°, Top border: Angle 180°, Right border: Angle 90°.

when I joined in this community, I thought that this is a point for webmasters and it will be just like others.

But after I started to check posts, and topics, I realized that community is mostly talking about photoshop.

I can start from zero to photoshop with your helps,

Thanks once more tamlin. I appreciate your help
