Well..I am following Mahvin's explanation..

I opened a pattern about 512x512...made copy of it so i have 2..added white layer on top...did blk n wht gradient...I changed it to a multiply mode liked the darker shades...made sure it had transparent layer..resized to 98%...merged down on top of pattern copy..resized it to about half ...then applied the ripple filter..everytime i do it all it does is ripple the flowers not the whole image

Liana

you still have pattern selected....should do select>>>none first before you ripple it.

Checked it and there is nothing to unselect..

I'm pretty sure the little yellow dashed lines should not be there around the pattern.

Figured it out..I missed or miss understood the part that says to 'Right click the duplicate layer and Layer to Image Size.' So I am back in business so to speak.


Thanks everyone makes me rethink and goes through the steps to see what ai miss when I do.

Looks good! Are you happy with it?

Very nice, Liana. They could be used for overlapping café curtains.

those are really nice, the look so real

Thanks everyone.

Yes I am Mahvin. Thanks for the explanation/tutorial. I can always tweak it when I am working on things as needed.

I saved it in word just incase when i go to do something again I can find it.

I was thinking they would make really cool curtains too O. hehehe
