I need help with pinstripe in photoshop. I'm trying to create a website with a dark gray pinstripe background.

I just don't know how to create one in photoshop. What do I do?

You could use a pattern. Assuming you want a horizontal or vertical pinstripe, this is very easy to do.

Create a new document. Set the size to how large you want each repeating portion of your pinstripe to be. Fill the layer with whatever background color you want, then create a stripe against the right edge of the canvas of the desired color and thickness.

Then go to Edit > Define Pattern (I think... don't have PS open at the moment), name the new pattern whatever you want, and hit OK.

Then go to the image you want the pattern in and deploy it using either the fill tool or in the target layer's blending options.

Would that work the same for a diagonal pinstripe?

The idea is the same but defining the exact area to select so it duplicates seamlessly is difficult.
Use this: Stripe Generator - ajax diagonal stripes background designer
Some people think it's corny using generators like that but the end result is the same and no-one will ever know unless you tell 'em!

Thanks for the help guys, I like that generator
