616 Seamless patterns with the Clouds filter

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, super old school,…I'm going to show you how to create…a seamlessly repeating tile pattern…in any version of Photoshop out there…using the Clouds filter…and you can combine it with Difference Clouds…if you like as well…and it's all dependent upon the size…of the document you create.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, I'm going to start things off…by creating a new document…which I'll do by going to the File menu…and choosing the New command.…

And then, I'll just go with these dimensions right here,…8 1/2 by 11 inches.…The document's wider than it is tall, doesn't really matter.…It'll just look better on screen,…and I've taken the resolution value…down to 72 pixels per inch.…At which point, I'll click the Create button.…Next, you want to go up to the Filter menu,…choose Render, and then choose Clouds,…and because the foreground color is black…and the background color is white as by default,…I get this random pattern of black and white clouds…
