Photoshop elements patterns and define pattern

Some of my latter pattern sets have not included the PAT file, instead the set contains PNG and PAT files. This means the patterns can be used in 100s of other applications as well as Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Does mean, of course, anyone expecting to find a PAT file and the standard fill layer etc features has to do a little more with the files

Open the PNG file (or PSD) and then go to the edit > define pattern command and apply. The pattern is then loaded into the current pattern palette. You can always open multiple files and then the define pattern command is a little quicker.

If you have Photoshop, you can also set up an action, apply this via the process batch command to apply 'define pattern' to all the patterns in a folder. This may or may not be a good thing as the PAT files can get very large if you add 100 or so patterns (40 MB etc) and this may slow down the startup.

If you have Photoshop Elements, you will need to find a pattern action to do this task

The patterns on the graphicxtras.com site run now to many different sets including arrow designs, embellishment designs and more. There is also a collection set, the collection set is totally different from the pattern packs.
