This is a simple tutorial on how to make a custom pattern for use in Photoshop. For this tutorial I am using Photoshop Cs6.

For this tutorial I will be making a 100x100 circle pattern as an example.

Making the Pattern:

- Make a new file with a transparent background, and the dimensions you want the pattern to be. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Make the image you want to be repeated as the pattern, keeping in mind that the edges will touch eachother (top will touch bottom, right will touch left) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Go to Edit>Define pattern Then name it what you want. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Using the pattern:

- Right click the background layer and click "layer from background" [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Double Click to the right of the layer.
- Click the Words "Pattern Overlay" [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Select your new pattern from the dropdown menu [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You're done.
