Quickly create perfectly repeating patterns with the help of Pattern Preview.
In the past, creating patterns for textile designs or graphic backgrounds required working with square images. With Pattern Preview, square is no longer a requirement. You can now envision in real-time how your design will come to life as a pattern.
To enable Pattern Preview, choose View > Pattern Preview
Once you enable Pattern Preview, you'll notice the workspace area outside of the canvas boundary will repeat the contents on the canvas. For instance, with a new blank document, the outer workspace area will repeat the background layer's color.
Start creating with Pattern Preview by following these five simple steps:
Open an existing Photoshop document or create a new one and enable Pattern Preview.
Add elements to the canvas such as shapes, paint strokes, Type, or drag assets in directly from the Libraries panel.
Resize, rotate, and reposition the graphics.
Zoom out if necessary to see the pattern repeated in a grid.
Once you get it looking just right, easily create a new pattern preset by clicking the + at the bottom of the Patterns panel, or choose Edit > Define Pattern...
When working with Pattern Preview and raster layers, converting your layers into Smart Objects will produce the best results as you transform, rotate, and scale your pattern elements.
For different creative effects, try experimenting with adding Layer Styles to either Smart Object layers, or the layers contained inside Smart Objects.
Pattern Preview utilizes your system's graphics card (GPU) when displaying the preview. You may experience reduced performance in the following scenarios:
