I am playing around with a new (to me at least) PS plug-in called SiteGrinder. It's a web site building prgm. that helps novices like me design and build web pages via a PS plug-in. I wanted to create the pinstripe look in the background of Adobe Lightroom. How do I get that look?

As always, thanks.

Lee, where do you see that pinstriped look, I only see shades of gray.

I don`t have Light room, can you show me an example ?

There was an option the user could set to change the background on the center window. I no longer have my trial beta but it should be under preferences. It really looks outstanding!!!

Ok, I got it Lee. There's pinstriped light, medium and dark gray. I assume looking at your screenshot that you want dark gray.

- Open a new document, size 1 by 2 pixels.
- Zoom in to 1600%
- Select the pencil tool, brush size 1 pixel
- Set foreground color to 191919
- Add top pixel with pencil tool
- Set foreground color to 3f3f3f
- Add bottom pixel with pencil tool
- Select All (on Mac is Command + A)
- Menu: edit/define pattern... and name it Dark Gray Pinstriped and click OK

Now when you need the Lightroom background all you need to do is fill the preferred area with the Paint Bucket tool with pattern selected in the option bar and using your Dark Gray Pinstriped pattern (you can select it when you click on the black triangle marked with the red arrow).

Thank you, sir. I'm off to make a pattern. [righton]

UPDATE: That was it, Gaus. Played around for about 2 hours with different shades of dark grey. Thanks again.
