The Pattern Maker filter slices and reassembles an image to make a pattern. The Pattern Maker works in two ways:
Fills a layer or selection with a pattern. The pattern can be made of one large tile, or multiple duplicate tiles.
Creates tiles that you can save as a pattern preset and use with other images.
You can generate multiple patterns from the same sample until you find one that you like.
Pattern Maker is an optional plug-in. Download and install it for Windows or Mac OS. Run Photoshop in 32-bit mode (64-bit Mac OS only). Do one of the following: Select the layer that contains the area from which you want to generate the pattern. The layer you select will be replaced by the generated pattern, so it’s a good idea to make a copy of the layer first.
To generate a pattern in a new layer or file, make a rectangular selection of the image you are using to generate the pattern, and choose Edit > Copy. Then add a layer to the image, or create a new file with the dimensions you want the final image to have.
Choose Filter > Pattern Maker. Specify the source of the pattern. Choose Use Clipboard As Sample to use the contents of the clipboard if you copied an image before you opened the Pattern Maker.
Make a selection in the preview area with the Pattern Maker’s Marquee tool . To move the selection marquee, drag it to a different location.
