Hi,


This is my first time posting. I'm not quite a "Newbie" as I've been using Photoshop for years but I never properly learned, I just figured things out for myself mostly.


I need some help with something but it's a little obscure.

I'm making an album cover and I've decided that I'm going to make the digipak cases myself by printing onto card and folding/glueing etc.

I used the sun in the image in a sort of prototype cover that I did a while back but it was only for the front page. I want the sun graphic to cover the whole of the packaging so that when it's all folded and glued together, there are no gaps and the sun rays/background colour/anything else will run continuously around the packaging but the one that I have isn't big enough.

I've made a much larger one on top of a digipak template but what I'm trying to do is repeat the patchiness of the original image (the one I've uploaded) with this larger graphic.

As stupid as it is, I can't remember exactly how I did it.

I know it was just one solid colour to begin with, then I erased a large area of it, retaining the edges. Then I think I filled it in again but I can't remember what I did next.

I'm sure that however I did it, it isn't a very well documented method and it probably took a lot more effort than it needed to.

Has anyone got any idea how I might have done this? Or any other ideas of how to recreate this?


Thanks in advance,


Nash
