Patterns can be easily created from any existing photo or painting you create in Photoshop Elements 10. You can even scan your signature or logo, define it as a pattern, and use it with the Pattern Stamp tool to sign all your work.
Photoshop Elements 10 offers a lot of preset options for patterns, but if you’re not happy with Elements’ selection, you can create your own pattern.
To create your own pattern, follow these steps:
Open the photographic, painted, or scanned image that contains the area you want to use as a pattern.
Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to select the area you want to convert into a pattern.
Make sure that your Feather option is set to 0 or the pattern command won’t be available.
If you don’t make a selection, Elements uses your entire layer as a basis for the pattern.
Choose Edit→Define Pattern from Selection or Edit→Define Pattern.
The Pattern Name dialog box appears.
Enter a name for your pattern.
Your new pattern now appears in every Pattern panel, wherever it may lurk in Elements.
In addition to filling your selection with a pattern, you can stamp on a pattern with the Pattern Stamp tool.
