Repeating Digital Texture Help

Ok, I need to create a texture that when repeated is seamless. The texture needs to be of urban scheme digital camouflage.

Basically thats this style of camo:



In this color scheme:



Is there any fairly easy way to do this? I would really rather not have to do it pixel by pixel...

I am using either Photoshop or Fireworks CS3


Thanks!

From memory without testing (been a long time since I did one of these and I haven't got PS on this laptop):

Create your pattern as you see fit. Go filters>Other>offset. Adjust x and y to be 50% of your x and y dimensions (so if your image is 100x100 set to 50 for both).

Use the clone tool to get rid of the cross that will likely be overlapping the center of your image.

Offset again by a different amount and see if there is another area that will not tile perfectly. If so, rinse and repeat.

edit: The above applies to photoshop.

Offset method words, as seen.to suggests. It will take a lot of tweaking though.

Is there any way to generate a random array of pixels? Or will I have to per pixel paint the camo?

Filter>Render>Clouds will generate random pixels. From there you can play with pixelate filters and isohely(not sure about that name)
