Photoshop :: Simple Background Patterns
Jan 28, 2005
I've been toying around with all kinds of different backgrounds for my webpages and have been trying to find something fun, simple, and kinda professional looking. I'm looking for really simple patterns like this. I really loved different variations I made of this design, but I kinda feel like it will get old after a while if I just keep changing the color of this same pattern over and over.
I'm wondering if any of you guys can recommend some other simple patterns I can make in ps. I saw some pages that had cool looking grid designs, when I tried to do it though, it didn't come out to well. The background made my site look like a homepage from 97'.

I'm using Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X. Last year I created an artwork including colour half tones, but also some other simple halftone filter that I applied to layers of solid colour (see attached image - you may need to view it at 100% to see what I mean)
It's a simple half tone pattern of white vs 1xcolour using either circles or squares. I remember that this was applied simply, not any special process as I didn't go out of my way to create this effect I just stumbled upon it. I can't for the life of me remember how to do it again.

So I have various extension files (.zip, rar, pat) that are download into my computer (into the download area). But how do I import them into Photoshop for use? Does Photoshop only accept certain kinds of file types? General answers wont work (yes, I know about the pattern stamp, etc), only very specific instructions. I have CC.

The background color has always been gray. Now it is black. The background color that I am talking about is the one outside the editable area on the screen. I am talking about the space that is not editable.
Can anyone help me change that color back to gray? I have looked in preferences, tried my paint bucket tool in that area, nothing works.

Just wants to get some simple "animated words" traced with a white background (instead of the background being "dimmed" looseleaf paper)
To explain, here's a comparison example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Imagine the phrase:
EGG-CELERATING THE PACE OF FERTILITY
Where the letter E is:
The vertical part of the E is a stalk of Celery
The horizontals of the E are cartons of Eggs.
Where the "P" of Pace looks like a basic line drawing of a "pacing shoe"
...with perhaps "anxious" looking eyes drawn inside the shoe
...yet still look like a P
...and the remainder is [roughly] like my attached letters on Dim looseleaf background. (see attached)
How would you achieve the EGG-CELERATING phrase? I bet an expert could achieve this within 1/2 hour or less, can't they? So I'm trying to achieve the same as the above:
...albeit it's a different phrase, and different BASIC pics.
...in other words, it's mostly outlined-alphabet, but including 4 basic pictorial-letters, and some more letters containing "eyes"
P.S. Regarding the attachment, note that I placed that in a Layer which I called Layer1
Then tried selecting it & changing background to White But was unsucessful.

Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.

there are different patterns all over this graphic. And on the bottom, there are the cubes, and they sort of dissapear towards the left of the image. Is this done using the selection tool to select exactly where the patterns would go?

Does anyone know where I can download a collection of popular patterns? I mean, by myself, I already have patterns like scanlines and dots and boxes, but there are complex patterns out there that I'd like to have. Anyone know where I can get them or learn how to make them?

I've created my own defined patterns in photoshop CS and looking to transfer them across to another pc with photoshop on. I've looked in the presets at file size and changes but theres nothing.
Do any of you clever people know where my defined patterns are, my photoshop is installed in the default location.

I created a pattern of concrete block coursing that I want to apply to a picture of the side of a building. The pattern is clipped so that it will repeat appropriately when filled into a large area. The problem is that depending on where I fill in the canvas, the pattern never fills in with the same start point. I want it to always start at the bottom left corner of the pattern (which is the bottom left corner of a block). Is there a way to set the point that a pattern moves out from? Also, does the pattern radiate from its center point or one of the corners?
In Autocad there is a snapbase command that lets you choose the start point for a pattern. This is exactly what I'm looking for in photoshop.

I'm trying to paint with a pattern I created but I'm having trouble doing so. I'm trying to follow the instructions in the photoshop manual but it almost seems as though they missed something (but it's probably me who's missing something). To create a pattern, it says to use the rectangle marquee tool to make a selection, setting feather to 0, choose edit -> define pattern, give it a name, and hit OK. So when I do that, nothing seems to happen after I hit OK. If I try to use the paint bucket tool, I still get the same monotonous color. How do I actually use the pattern I just created with the paint bucket tool?

Everytime I go and try to define a pattern, i normally make the pattern pictures big, but everytime i try to make them smaller in the "Pattern Overlay" thing they get blurry,
When I click the pattern I want, by default it puts the full size image first:
Although, when I try and when i try to scale it down, this is how it gets!

I've been seeing a lot of print design lately where people use border designs around their postcards etc. I haven't been successful in finding any galleries with examples.
These border patterns resemble something out of victorian architecture.
where I can find some border patterns?

I am operating with CS5 and Windows 8.
I am unsuccessful with clicking and draging .PAT files from my presets folder in Windows Explorer into and/or around the Preset Manager window in CS5. When I click and drag, my cursor symbol makes it look like it will work but nothing happens- no .pat files are loaded in.
So, far all I can do is load one pattern at a time.
Is it possible to move/load multiple .pat files at one time?

I have accidentally loaded some patterns more than once and so they are repeated in the list (which is more annoying than anything at this point).
I have checked the manual and it just says to go to any Pattern pop-up menu and to then select the pattern and hold the Alt key and click (pointer turns into scissors) and the pattern will be deleted.
I don't want to delete the patterns by going to program program files > adobe > presets ... or what have ya b/c I do want one copy.
Is there a way to clear them all from the list and then I can reload/import the patterns again?
I have tried to get rid of the duplicates in the list by using the Preset Manager, the Import/Export panel and by (of course) the (above) Alt + Click on the pattern name to no avail. All in all I would just like to keep my patterns organized so as the collection grows I'll be able to manage them better and find 'em more quickly.

I have over 300 patterns I need to have available on PS. How can I do them all at once?
I dropped them in the two patterns folders I've found, but the icons don't appear in the preset manager.

I tried googling tutorials but I can't seem to find any. I found this one: (Which is basically what I'm trying to do)
[URL]....
However, the background color of the pattern does change but the actual lines do not. Is there anyway I can change the color of the lines?

When you change a fabric or a pattern on an object how do you get the pattern to repeat as it would in real life? For example if I change a fabric on a curtain how do I get the pattern to look as it would in real life so it isn't enlarged or distorted?

The custom pattens I have saved with my brushes just disappeared, I tried reloading my brushes and that didn't do anything, I opened the pattern and redefined it, as long as I have it selected as the texture I want to use it's fine but as soon as I choose another texture and then go back to a different brush with a different pattern saved to it, the other ( not the one saved to the brush) texture shows up in the brush.
I have saved my brushes and have kept them on a flash drive with the pattens saved to them, they work on my classroom computers and have for years everywhere I have used them. This just happened this week and I can't seem to fix it. I updated my PS6 and it worked for a day but when I restarted PS it did the same thing.

I did this a while back and now I am putting together a content pack for some 3D content and need to add some home made patterns to the preset manager for some over lay effects.
I see the files are .pat files and tried to save a neat texture I made using an image my friend took of some fungus (trust me it looks cool ) using the GIMP 2.2 and then browsed to the new file in PS-CS and tried to load it up and got an error message that it was corrupt.
