last night i made a blue dots and brown dots pattern, on white backgrounds, now im trying to make a brown on transparent background, and i keep getting this: instead of the 1/4 dot in each corner with one in the center, why?

thanks

It is doing this because the layer is only as big as the dot! lol. When i do seamless in the filters it makes it a square, and that was very confusing. So to make the dots, create a larger area, say 100x100 and then merge the dot with that layer and run the offset. I hope that helps anyone else.

Also, i dont find that snapping works at all. i have them all turned on, and i do not see any snapping. cant rem how many pix it snaps to i think 8? anyway leaving this here.
