Step Seven: So click Cancel,
and then delete the merged
layer. Rearrange, duplicate, or
add even more objects, create
a new merged layer, and launch
the Offset filter again. You can
adjust the settings in the Offset
dialog in one of two ways.- Eyeball the adjustments to
get your preferred look. - Adjust the Horizontal and
Vertical values to half the
document dimensions so, in
this case, both settings will
be +1500 px (half of our
3000 x3000-px canvas).
Tip: Once you’re happy with
your layout, walk away from it
for 5 minutes then come back to
your computer just to make sure
you’re still happy with it.
Step Eight: Now we can define
and save our newly created
pattern, so go to Edit >Define
Pattern. This will open a dialog
where you can view a thumb-
nail of the pattern and name it
whatever you wish. I’ve named
mine “Retro Objects” so I can
find it easily. Click OK to save it
in the pattern library.
