Where Is the Pattern Tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:08 pm

Most people who are new to Photoshop find themselves wondering where the Pattern tool is. The answer is actually quite simple – it’s hidden away in the Layer Style menu.

To access it, simply double-click on the layer you want to apply the pattern to. This will open up the Layer Style dialog box. Then, click on the ‘Pattern’ option at the top of the list.

PRO TIP: The Pattern Tool in Photoshop can be found under the ‘Edit’ menu, but it is hidden under a sub-menu. To find it, click on ‘Edit’, then ‘Transform’, and finally ‘Pattern’. If you do not see the Pattern Tool, make sure that you have the correct version of Photoshop installed.

This will bring up the Pattern Picker, which contains a whole library of patterns to choose from. Simply click on the one you want to use and it will be applied to your layer. You can also adjust the scale and opacity of the pattern using the options in the dialog box.

If you want to create your own custom patterns, you can do so by clicking on the ‘Edit Patterns’ button at the bottom of the Pattern Picker. This will open up the Pattern Editor, where you can create your own patterns from scratch or edit existing ones. Once you’re happy with your pattern, simply click ‘OK’ to save it and add it to your library.
