I'm really interested to know how to create this effect in Photoshop Elements CS4...



Back when I used Paint.NET for my image editing, I could easily fill with basic patterns like diagonal lines, vertical lines, horozontal lines, and many others. In the case of the above photo, this is what I would have done in Paint.NET:

1. Start with the green-ish background image.
2. Create a new layer.
3. Fill the entire layer with diagonal, black lines, similar to the way I'd fill with a colour -- there's a dropdown menu in Paint.NET that allows you to choose a pattern, lines being some of the fill options.

Is there a similar method of creating a background like this in PSE CS4? There MUST be, I just can't figure it out...

Also, if you're wondering, the image is from the great music blog Ears of the Beholder.

Cheers,
Josh

Draw a series of straight lines, select a section and turn it into a pattern. Make a new layer and fill it with the pattern.

Rotate the layer for diagonal lines.
