Tileable Clouds in Photoshop

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Handy feature of photoshop, the render clouds method is actually quite clever, its algorithm to make clouds allows you to sneakily make it tilable,
Make a square canvas with dimensions of 2^n on both sides, eg, 16×16, 128×128, 512×512, 2048×2048 etc
then select a the colours you want to use in the foreground/background box and finally Filter>>Render>>Clouds.
Ei Voila, instant tilable clouds.

How handy is that?

Render some clouds using Filter >> Render >> Clouds

Changing the values of the Patchwork filter will yield some cool results, it depends on the size of your graphic, but a Square size around 3 and relief around 14 is good for small pics
