CKG tutorials: sand

This is a neat way to make sand or sand-like structures that will tile seamlessly in your background! I got the procedure from the CGAPSP newsgroup, where it was submitted by Agentgray (I'll never get used to those names...)
	Open a new image, size 100x100, 16 million colors
	Select FFFF00 as your foreground color (that's R:128, G:128, B:0)
	Flood fill your image with this foreground color.
	Go to Menu>Image>Noise>Add. Set noise to 50, keep random selectedThe more times you do this, the finer the grain will get. As usual: experiment!!
	Go to menu>Colors>Colorize
	Set Hue: 30 and Saturation: 50 And there's your final result: a nice tile that'll give a sand structure to your background! Below you'll see how it looks: I opened a new image 800x600, and flood filled it with our new pattern.
You may even get more of a sand-like structure if you sharpen it once or twice! A tip sent to me by Charles Oliva: If you run the noise and colorize steps a second time, you get a richer looking sand. That is noise, colorize, noise, colorize. Thanks, Charles! And of course (I'll keep repeating this): experiment, experiment, experiment!
That's all there's to it! I know it's simple, too simple maybe to justify dedicating a tutorial to it... But I've found that for many people seeing a procedure with images added just beats reading the bare text! Any questions left? You want a tutorial on another subject added to this smal collection?
