How To Make Scan Lines
by: SellYourSoul

Ok here we are going to learn the "scanline" effect
Here im going to use part of a blend i made feat'
Katie holmes.



1. First off creat a new document 3 x 3 pixels and mke sure its set to transparent
like shown below



2. Zoom in to the new document as far as you can, then grab your pencil tool and select the
smallest brush which is number one and create three pixels like shown below



3. Now once you have done that go to Edit >> Define pattern and call it whatever you like.
Now grab your work that you want to add the scan lines to and create a new layer now click on your
fill tool (The one that looks like a paint bottle) and then at the top of the screen select pattern
and also select your new pattern like shown below,



4. Now simply click on your work and presto scanlines!! but i find that the look to solid so
i tend to set the blending mode to overlay like i have with my finished product below
