Finally, hold SHIFT down and click the fifth point and again drag right.As you can see the handle should be dead straight - this is ensured by holding shift down.

This handle you can see in the image above (because it's one of the last two points before I screenshot). Next while holding SHIFT down click the fourth point, again holding the mouse down and dragging right so that you get handles appearing.It may take you a few goes, but the good thing is you can just press CTRL-Z to undo if you don't get it right, and if you need to go back more than one step, just press CTRL-ALT-Z Having shift held makes sure the angles are all nice and precise so it's just a matter of getting the size and positioning right. You should be able to get that perfect curve. Now click the third position and again hold the mouse button down and also hold SHIFT down to drag the handles out at a right angle.This will mean the next point you click is going to have a curve going between. Then hold down SHIFT so that you are getting a dead straight line and click the next point along the line, hold the mouse button down as you click so that the point has handles and drag upwards a little bit.Start on the bottom left point and just click a single point in.In the image above I've switched off all the background layers so you can see the shape exactly. We do this using the pen tool and a few very precise clicks. Next create a new layer and zoom in to the top left corner again. Now that you have a texture you can of course turn it into a seamlessly tiled background.įor this tutorial we will be using the first texture we made - the one from step 8. Now create another layer on top and again fill it with white, this time change the layer blending mode to Color and 53% to get our texture a bit whiter.Run a Filter > Texture > Texturizer and this time use Canvas, 200% and 16 then set this layer to Overlay and 20%.Create a new layer on top and fill it with white - #ffffff.Now duplicate the second layer and rotate it by 90', keeping it set to Overlay and 60%.Grab the second crumply/noise layer and run the same filter.Grab the first crumply/noise layer and run a Filter > Texture > Texturizer and use Canvas, 75% and 2 for your settings.For example here we've made a more parchment-y feel by taking our light texture and: If colour variations aren't enough, you can also change the feel of the texture with the use of different filters.
