The key is to create the Scan Lines effect that everyone can see on a television. That trick requires the use of Layers, so make some practice with them to understand what they are and how they work.
 |
1) Load a
picture. 2) Create a new Layer on it: Layers -> New. You now have Layer1 that is the original image, and Layer2 that is a kind of new image over the Layer1, and that can be edited and changed without touching Layer1. |
 |
3) Now prepare a new image: Width
as the first picture and Height = 2. 4) Create the black scan-lines: just trace a black line and a white line in the second picture, from left to right borders; on the right you can just see the result (Here I put a grey background to evidence the white line too). |
 |
5) Use the new image (created in step 5) as a PATTERN to fill the first image (use the Fill Tool and choose the Pattern option); you will create the effect here on the right ; that means you have the second Layer made of lines, while the first Layer is hidden behind, but unchanged. |
 |
6) Now set the parameters of Layer2; Go
to Layer-> Properties... and find the Blend
Range: set: This Layer is 130, 130 And the underlying is 255, 255. That way, you'll be able to see the original image behind the lines. Notice that the work is quite finished: but lines are heavy too. Should be more transparent. |
 |
7) Make the lines more transparent, so
that image wont be more visible: Finish the work in Layer-> Properties... and set: Blend Mode: Normal Opacity: between 20 and 30; depends on the image's luminosity. Experiment different combinations of Mode; every Opacity and Blend image has different requirements! |
 |
Look at this... The interlaced lines are spaced only by one pixel, and the Opacity is set to 35... Cool uh? |
