Hello. to start this post with, I'm not really a graphics guy...i'm a programmer =) but now I want to make my scrolling background tile. Now it's a small line where the images meet, and the colors dont really match. Iv'e made the background in photoshop, and used the filter clouds...don't know if it's possible to make a good tileable imague using it...but well any advices? Thanks.
You can offset (shift) the image by 50% in both directions. That puts the borders right in the middle so you can do that type of touch up.

In the GIMP you would use: Layer | Transform | Offset, Offset by (x/2), (y/2)

The command is probably similar in photoshop.

It changes the image like this:
+-----+    D || C      | A B |    --++--  | C D | => --++-- +-----+    B || A

Use it to clean up your borders so they tile well.

Thanks for the help, I tested the offset change...but I couldn''t get it to work really...so I took a piece of the left edge and flipped it horisontal and put it on the right edge...then some gaussian blur on that melted together fine =)
Thanks.
