Always sharpen your finished graphic if you have resized:

9. Effects--->Sharpen--->Unsharp Mask
I use these settings: radius 1.77 / strength 30 / clipping 1

10. Save as a jpg or gif to a folder of your choice.

**I always use Unsharp Mask. Using 'Sharpen' will sometimes put
a line around the outside and your tile will not be seamless.

Another version using different settings.
