quick way.

create a 1 pixel wide by two pixel high document with a transparent background. color one pixel - use rectangular selection, not shape - to color one pixel black. leave the other transparent.

select all (CTRL+A), then Edit > Define Pattern. same way you'd make scanlines.

Close the 2 pixel by 1 pixel creation.

In your original file, create a blank layer. CTRL+A, then fill with pattern you just created - it'll be the last one.

Then rotate. usually 15, 30, 45, and 60 are good numbers to rotate that newly made layer.

Use layer masks to section it off, duplicate it need be. That's a quick way of doing it.

To change colors you can CTRL+A the layer, then use the Arrow up, then Arrow down keys, it will select all (fast selection) of the color pixels, ignore the transparent. then, fill with different color.

easy enough.

Alright, first make a new document, 5x5 pixels.

1.Take your sqaure tool and make a square in the upper left hand corner. With the arrow tool hold ALT and make a copy of the the square that you just made, put this new square down one and to the right one. merge thsoe layers.

Reapeat step one till you have an image with five squares going diagnol. Now go to edit>define pattern. and just fill whatever layer you want with that pattern.

aznFilipinezian, do the final volley for the Continent vs. Continent thread, please.

I've sent you a PM, even warned in another thread you were just in.

If you can't do one, then post that too.
