[thelist] Photoshop Question

[Jonathan]

Would anyone be kind to demonstrate a nice application of this technique?
Attachments are not permitted I imagine, but how about a URL or two?

.. Does anybody know of a quick way to select every other horizontal line on
an image? An automatic way of using the single row marquee tool to
 select alternate rows all the way down the image is what i'm after. Or do I
need to make myself an action to do it for me?
... humor me and try this...

> make a new image, 1x2 (or so)... fill one pixel with black, make the
> other transparent... select it and make it into a pattern fill (Edit >
> Define Pattern)...
>
> now, go to the image you want to affect, and make a new layer...
> select the entire layer (use the marquee) and go to Edit > Fill...
> select the pattern...
>
> now, deselect...
>
> ok, now ctrl-click this new layer, hide it, and go to the layer you
> want to affect...
>
> you now have every other row selected...
