Tutorial: Horizontal 'scan lines'

Create these horizontal 'scan lines' which I love using for interfaces etc.
STEP ONE

Save this small image above.

Firstly, save the small image to the left (or you can easily make your own - this ones just 4 pixels by 4 pixels) and open it in PSP. Select the image you wish to use.
STEP TWO


Choose [layers]->[new raster layer]->[ok] from the top menu, the new layer should now be active. Select the 'flood fill' tool (), select 'pattern' from the 'fill style' dropdown. Then click the pattern tab, and select the hpattern.gif.
STEP THREE
Fill your image, should now look similar to the one on the left.
STEP FOUR
Now go to your layer pallete (pressto display layer option box onscreen if needed), and in the 'layer blend mode' select 'darken'. You have the option now to change the transparency of the horizontal pattern.
STEP FIVE
Just one thing left to do - [layers]->[merge]->[merge all(flatten)]. Finished, done, the end...
