backround graphics. Help!!!

Ok, i keep seeing people with sigs. and they have their backround having lines going across them! and it looks sweet. My sig. has it too but the maker (MK) said they just used a brush and that was the way the brush was, but i have seen other people's sigs. that the backround is just another pic. and they put those lines across it.

Here's an example of what i am talking about.

drag your mouse over the pic and then click the "make it bigger" button. Then you can see the lines I am talking about (not the ones you see right when you click on the url).

What you seek are a made pattern called "Scanlines". Open your photoshop 7 or higher, create a new document thats 3x3 pixels in size. Use to magnifying glass to zoom in on it, then take your pencil too and create a horizontal line starting from the top left to the bottom right. Make It only takes 3 dots from the pencil tool to do this. Next go to edit, then define pattern, name it whatever you want, I named mine Black Scanlines since scanlines can be made in any color.

To apply it to a sig you made, create a new layer then go to edit then fill. Choose the scanline pattern from the list. Put that layer on overlay so the lines wont fully cover up the sig.

Congrats, you just made scanlines.

If you want scanlines that go different ways such as the way you seek, follow the steps, instead of making the line like I said, just make a line going straight across.

Thanks you guys! umm... does it have to be Photoshop 7 or up? I think the one my friend has, which i am going to download on my comp. (it is too much money for me, and it's not like i am going to use it to gain money or something) is PS 6. Darn it!

Yes, it has to be PS7 or higher since the earlier copies doesn't have the "Pattern" feature, nor do they have scatter smudging options.
