Imageready’s Auto Tile Maker

 

ImageReady has a built-in tool for creating seamless backgrounds. It’s called Tile Maker and it’s found under the Filter menu, under Other. It brings up a dialog where you can choose how much you want to blend the edges of your images (the default setting of 10 percent works fairly well for most images), but you can increase it if it doesn’t look smooth enough to you.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
