Ok this is my rendition of the Scanline tutorial.

first make a new document with these settings.
Image

Zoom in until you hit the maximum(1600%)
Image

Get the Pencil tool set to 1 px. black.
Image
make this pattern.
Image
when completed, select the ENTIRE document(Ctrl+A)
Image
then go to Edit->Define Pattern. Name it "Scanlines".
Image
now we can use it. ill take a simple image, Tony Montana from Scarface, for example.
Image
Now create a new layer, then go to Edit->fill.
Image
select your newly created scanlines.
Image
I prefer to put the scanlines on a new layer so its easier to control opacity.

now you have a finished Product!
Image

Q&A!!!!

Q:How did you get it to be light?? mine is darker than yours!!!
A:set opacity of the scanline layer to around 70-80%

Q:where is teh pencil???
A: with the paint brush.

any other stupid questions will NOT be answered.
