Tips and Variations

• To create a seamless pattern, use a repeating design element, such as a shape or a texture, and repeat it across the canvas.
• To create a non-seamless pattern, use a unique design element for each section of the canvas.
• You can also use the Pattern layer style to apply a pattern to a layer or selection.
• To edit an existing pattern, go to Edit > Define Pattern and select the pattern you want to edit. Make your changes and click on the OK button to save the updated pattern.
