Repeating???

Making background for site. Below is a
suggestion from Smug Pro.

You want to have a background that will display properly for all viewers, with small browser windows or huge monitors. *So something that repeats usually works well, so that it can fill the entire screen. *But I'm not sure what the best size would be.


So how to make one " repeating ". Will use
CS3 to make.
Thanks

I have done this a few times. I usually decide on how large an image I want to use as the pattern, I do not recommend anything larger than 100pixels in any directions. This limitation I put in is to keep the load speed reasonable. I then create an image I think will work, in that size, typically it is monchromatic and often the Filters>Textures. I test it by copying it, then pasting it into a larger image and arraying it - one can also create a pattern for the testing if desired. I then export for web and try to keep the file size as small as possible.
