Creating your own tiled backgrounds

[Sarah Carpenter]

Picked up this tip from Margaret many years ago.

The ability to take any image, make it translucent, take a picture of it using the camera tool and then drag this new image into the 'my backgrounds' area of your background resources (in design mode) ...... and hey presto a tiled version of your image is created and saved in yout backgrounds folder.

If you resize the image to the page size and then save it your image won't tile. Backgrounds are great fro creating atmosphere - a nice Spring picture when looking at a poem about Spring for example.It will be full page size. Have I made heavy weather of explaining this? :o
