(4) Add another border in a much lighter colour, with the settings: Top="0", Bottom="0", Left="0" and Right="7". I chose colour R=209, G=207, B=210.
|
(5) For the last stripe we are going use a very dark colour as a thin pinstripe. Our settings are: Top="0", Bottom="0", Left="0" and Right="3". I chose colour R=32, G=49, B=39.
|
(6) Now, create a new transparent image, 100x100 pixels. Copy and paste the image with the 5 stripes 3 times on separate layers, then use your "mover tool" to align them as 15 stripes. Then merge layers visible. The actual image will be 87x100 pixels, depending on the width of your stripes. Use this image for the remainder of the instructions in the tutorial.

|
(7) Copy this layer and paste as a new layer. Then rotate the image 90 degrees right. Move this layer so it is aligned with the top of the bottom layer.
|
(8) Using a rectangle selection unaliased, crop to the bottom of the last horizontal line.
|
(9) Adjust the transparency of top layer to 40%.
|
|
(10) Merge all layers flat and....voila....you have a plaid pattern. Save as a .jpeg and then use in a triple border webset. View my source code, if you need to see how to set up the table for same. *smile*

|
(11) If you have the Photoshop "Texturizer Filter"....then, if you apply the "sandstone.pdf file" to the plaid you have made....you can create a "seersucker" fabric effect.
I also have a set made with only the plaid and a solid as a double border set. You can view it HERE.
