Here's a simple pattern you can make then add to images. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x1.jpg) ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x2.jpg)

Start with a new file. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x3.jpg) Your file will be very tiny. Select the zoom tool and click outside the file, drag across it and release. Now you'll be able to see what you're doing. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x4.jpg)

Select the pencil tool and a 1 pixel hard round brush. Duplicate the pattern below using colors cdcdcd and 000000. White isn't part of the pattern. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x5.jpg) To make it easier to see the pattern I added a layer and filled it with white. Then I put it under the pattern's layer. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x6.jpg)

Once your pattern is completed if you added a white layer you now need to hide it. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x8.jpg) Go to Edit>Define Pattern... Name your pattern and click OK. When applying the pattern set the Blending Mode to Soft Light. ![](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/smileys_2007/Tutorials/x10.jpg)
