Tutorials / Adobe Photoshop 6.0 / Trendwhore it up with scanlines!

Step 1
	Start by opening the document or selecting an area or a layer you want scanlines on. I will use this girl for this example.
Step 2
	Go to File > New... [CTRL+N]. Set the new document width to 50 and set the units to pixels Set the new document height to 2 pixels. Set the new document background to transparent. Zoom in on the newly created document.
Step 3
	Using a single row selection tool [to get it, click and hold your mouse over the Rectangular Marquee Tool in the tool box], select bottom row of the image. Reset the primary color to black [D]. Using the Bucket Tool [CTRL+G] fill the selection with black color. Deselect [CTRL+D]. Select the whole image by pressing CTRL+A. Now go to File > Edit > Define Pattern. Type in an identifiable name, I used "scanlines". Press OK. Close the temporary image, we wont need it anymore.
Step 4
	Go back to the original document you wanted scanlines in. I suggest making a separate layer [CTRL+SHIFT+N] for scanlines so that their opacity can be adjusted later on. With the new layer selected, go to File > Edit > Fill... menu and then select "Pattern" from the drop down option selector. Now find you pattern that you've just made - most likely it is the last one on the list. Select it. Press OK and viola, you've got yourself the ever so overused trendy scanlines.
