Last updated on January 24, 2023 @ 5:43 am

A hatch pattern is a common technique used by graphic designers to fill in areas with a consistent texture or color. There are many ways to create hatch patterns, but Photoshop offers a simple and easy-to-use method that can be used to create a variety of different hatch patterns.

To create a hatch pattern in Photoshop, first, open the “Patterns” menu by going to Window > Patterns.

In the upper-right corner of the Patterns menu, click on the dashes icon then select “Import Patterns” from the options.

In the Load window that will appear, select the file of the patterns and load it into Photoshop.

Once loaded, select the “Rectangle Tool” from the toolbar and create a rectangle on your canvas.

Lastly, select the area that you want to fill and click on the pattern that you want to use. Your new hatch pattern will now be applied!

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for creating a hatch pattern in Photoshop, not for using hatch patterns. If you use the instructions in this tutorial to create a hatch pattern and then use that hatch pattern in your design, your design will be full of holes.

 

Creating hatch patterns in Photoshop is a quick and easy way to add consistent textures or colors to your designs. By using the Patterns menu and the Rectangle tool, you can easily apply your own hatch patterns that can be used in a variety of different projects.
