Photoshop: How to save/define a new pattern

Posted on 10. Jul, 2009 by Dragos in Design, Photoshop

In order to save a new pattern you need to have the image opened in Photoshop (the image which will be defined as a new pattern).

In my case, the image represents the US flag. So I have the image opened in Photoshop:

Image opened in Photoshop

Now that we have the image opened in Photoshop, defining a new pattern becomes a very easy task. Next, click on Edit -> Define Pattern from the top menu.

Define new pattern

Now a new pop-up window will appear, asking for a name to assign to the new pattern. Name it as you wish, in my case I call it US flag .  Then click OK.

Give a name to your new pattern

That’s it! Your new pattern has been saved and you can now apply it wherever you want.
