Paint Shop Pro : Creating background images

The creation of a background image comes up against a problem of perception. The image only appears once in Paint Shop Pro, but several times on the Web page. So it is quite difficult to imagine what the effect of this image duplicated several times like a patchwork will actually be like.
Figure 1: Imagining the effect of the basic texture motif (top-left) is not always that easy.
We need to find a way to display it. The best way is to create a Web page to test what your image will look like in real time.
- Create and save an HTML page using this simple code:
<HTML>
- Create a new image in Paint Shop Pro and save it in the same folder as the HTML file with the name my_image.jpg.
- Open the HTML page in your browser. Then place your browser side-by-side with Paint Shop Pro open, so that the creation of
the background image will be easily accessible from both programs.
<BODY BACKGROUND="mon_image.jpg "><BODY BACKGROUND="my_image.jpg ">
</HTML>
This test file only does one thing: it displays a background image.

As you go along modifying the background image, save it and refresh your browser page from time to time. In this way, you will be able to see the changes to your image in real time.
