Lets make it coil… filter>distort>polar coordinates and choose rectangular to polar. Position the rope near the center of the page Step 6 Hide the layer underneath by clicking on the eye icon. Press Cmd/ctrl+J to copy the selection to a new layer. Make a selection with the rectangular marquee tool. To give a more frayed look add some noise: filter>noise>add noise Step 4 (You may enlarge the pattern to fill more of the page if you wish.) Step 3 Now rotate the pattern by pressing cmd/ctrl+T for free transform and then pulling one of the corners around. Size =2 (use higher for a higher res image) Personally I think I prefer the 800×600, but experiment with different sizes and see how you like the results.Ĭreate a new layer and choose filter>sketch>halftone pattern. Look at the 2 examples at the end of the tutorial, the variation was created on 800×600, notice that the angle is a little wider and less round. The size here is really important because it will determine the angle of the coil.
