Its just lines pasted over everything else or in a new layer :-/

 

 

 

I dont understand how you'd need a tutorial for something so obvious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmm create a new image 2px by 2px. Set the brush size to 1 (the option for that is at the top of the screen with all the tool options, just below the File, Edit, etc menus).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make two dots over the top line of pixels only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or for diagonal lines make a single dot in the top left corner and a single dot in the bottom right corner

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While still on the halftone pattern image, press Ctrl+A to select the entire image. Now go to the Edit menu and click on Define Pattern. Name the pattern anything you want. You can now close the halftone pattern image, it's no longer needed since you should now have a pattern defined

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now go back to the image you want scanlines added in and create a new layer and select the Flood Fill Tool. It may be set to the Gradient tool, you can use the same method as the Pencil/Paintbrush to switch the tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then simply set it to Fill Pattern and delect your scanlines

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you can use all the other photoshop option to colourize it, fade it out, add blending options or whatever you like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That ok?
