There is a particular effect I like doing with photoshop for images with a dark background:
Primary colour: dark blue, somewhere in the region of #0000d0
Secondary colour: black
Filter > Render > Clouds
Filter > Render > Difference Clouds
Ctrl + F until a fairly even spread across the canvas
Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges (with default parameters)
Now, my problem is this, I want to use this effect as a repeating background on a webpage, however, I can't get the effect to appear smooth when tiled unless I mirror both sides (with lots of copy/paste/flip/resizing in MS Paint), and I find that doing so makes it less pleasing along the lines where it's mirrored.
So, is it possible to have a smooth tiled effect without mirroring the image with something randomly generated like this? And if so, how is it done?
Cheers,
Mike
