To display tile boundaries in the preview image:
Select Tile Boundaries in the Preview section of the Pattern Maker dialog box. To choose a
different color for tile boundaries, click the color swatch.
To switch between the generated pattern and the original image:
Choose an option from the Show pop-up menu in the Preview section of the Pattern
Maker dialog box.
When previewing the original image, you change the sample area using the rectan-
gular marquee tool. The new sample will be used for the next generation.
Reviewing tiles and pattern previews
The Tile History section of the Pattern Maker dialog box lets you review all the pattern
previews you have generated. You can navigate through pattern previews, delete pattern
previews, and save tiles as preset patterns.
Important:
When you save a tile as a preset pattern, only a single tile is saved, not the full,
generated pattern.
To navigate through tiles and pattern previews:
Do one of the following:
•
Click the First Tile button
, Previous Tile button , Next Tile button , or Last Tile
button .
•
Type the number of the pattern preview you want to view, and press Enter (Windows)
or Return (Mac OS).
If the Update Pattern Preview option is selected, the full pattern is regenerated in the
preview area. If the Update Pattern Preview option is deselected, only the tile thumbnail
changes.
Deselect Update Pattern Preview to quickly review tiles. When you find the desired
tile, select Update Pattern Preview to regenerate the preview.
To delete a tile and pattern preview:
Navigate to the tile you want to delete, and click the Trash button
.
To save a tile as a preset pattern:
1
Navigate to the tile you want to save, and click the Preset button .
2
Enter a preset name, and click OK.
You can create and manage libraries of presets using the Preset Manager. (See
“Managing
libraries with the Preset Manager (Photoshop)” on page 54
.)
