TV-scan like image

Any information on how to convert a normal looking image (or a solid background color - say blue) to a TV (with horizontal lines)
like image. I have seen this in lot of websites nowadays, but what every I tried end
up crude and ugly,

------------------

Suggest you do the following:

Open a NEW file 3 pixels height by whatever width you want.

Create a fixed with selection of 1 pixel height by your width.

Click in the file to place the selection.Fillit with 18%Black.

Leave a gap of 1 pixel, and repeat the previous step. You should now have two gray line with a gap in the middle.

Select the entire file. Choose define pattern.

In your main image file create a new layer and fill it with the pattern. Adjust the OPACITY of the Pattern layer accordingly.

Experiment with different colours and gap widths to suit the image.

Hope that helps
