Define pattern from selection PSE7

I have both PSE6 and PSE7. Is there a reason that the area for "define pattern from selection" is grayed out in PSE7 but not in PSE7. Is there something I have to change in the settings to get it to work in PSE7?

Next time, just try deleting the settings file: quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings. Say yes.

Cannot Define New Pattern from Transformed Selection

I am having some trouble making a new pattern from a selection in Photoshop CS6. If I simply use the rectangular selection tool over an area that I would like to make a new pattern from, I can go to Edit > Define Pattern to make a new pattern from my selection. However, if I transform the selection or create a selection using ctrl-click on a layer, the option Edit > Define Pattern is unavailable. I haven't been able to find anything online that explains why this would happen, so I've decided to try my luck here. Any insight will be appreciated! Thank you!

conroy2009: I used the rectangular selection tool and the option was there; when using the Transform Selection (feathering is not an option for that as far as I know) command and after positioning it correctly and accepting the new selection, the Define Pattern is not an option. I don't believe feathering is involved. However, perhaps the Transform Selection does anti-alias for some reason... which kind of irritates me. I just want to be able to make a more specific selection without using the pen tool for a simple rectangle. Strange that it would also apply an effect. :/ So, do other people just use the rectangular selection tool and get the exact position correct on the first shot?

Define pattern with transformed selection?

(PS CS5 or PS CS6, Windows 7 64 bit)
I hope someone can help me puzzle out what is happening here. I want to select part of an image to turn into a pattern.
If I make a selection using the Rectangular Marquee Tool, I can go to Edit - Define Pattern to define a new pattern based on that selection. So far, so good.
If I make my original selection bigger by using Select - Transform Selection and commiting the transformation, the Edit - Define Pattern option is still available. This is the behavior I expect.
If I make my original selection smaller by using Select - Transform Selection and commiting the transformation, the Edit - Define Pattern option is greyed out. This is what puzzles me.
Is there an explanation for this behavior?

Yep, that's right, the selections in Photoshop is the same as scaling pixels. Think of them as temporary alpha masks. In the Preferences > General, If you change the Image Interpolation to Nearest Neighbor, you will not have that problem.

Creating Pattern from jpeg

I am having trouble creating a fill pattern from a jpeg. According to instructions, it seems all I would have to do
is select the jpeg with the selection tool, go to Edit, Define Pattern, type in a name for the new pattern and presto, it shows up in the Pattern Pallette. I've also tried defining a portion of the jpeg -- which has been placed with a link into Illustrator -- with an unfilled rectangle (bounding box) with no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions of where I'm going wrong?
I appreciate any help you can provide.

The raster image has to be embedded into a file, not linked.

'Exlude from Selection' not possible

Hi Friends
I'm trying to use 'Exlude from Selection' for filters or variables with slect options in BI 7000

I.e. I just want to exlude e.g. values beginning with XYZ from selection.
It' stiill possible to define a string like 'XYZ' with symbol foer contains pattern, but there is
no way to exclude it from selection in context menu or with red icon (both are greyes out).
We are on SP 19, Gui 7100 OL 14.
Thanks in advance

Problem with "Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer" CC 2014

Hello, I'm experienced with Photoshop but am new to 3D text in Photoshop. I type in some text and convert to a shape. When I choose Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer I get dialog box I don't see in any tutorials. It says "You are about to create a 3D layer. Would you like to switch to the 3D workspace? Yes/No, Don't show again." Which should I use for 3D text?
If I choose Yes, all the panels go away and the content in the tool options bar (ribbon?) just under the menu bar go away. I have to restart Photoshop to get the tool options back. What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks - Dave

I just chose "No" and didn't look back. I like my workspace just as it is, and don't prefer Photoshop to change it for me under this particular case.
You can make the 3D panel visible yourself via Window - 3D. I find it's a good alternate for the Actions panel, as I don't have any actions at the moment that work in the 3D world.
The panels you'll want to see easily if you work on 3D are the 3D panel and the Properties panel, among a few others.
Regarding getting your workspace back the way you like it... Note the little selector near the upper-right corner of the Photoshop main window. That can be used to select a workspace. I suggest you experiment and get familiar with the concept of workspaces. You can define your own and save it with a name, and that truly can be helpful.

Software recommendations to create seemless tiling patterns from images?

Hello!
I am looking for a software solution that will allow me to create repeating patterns from a source image?
I know this can be done with photoshop but it doesnt look like a time effective way to do it, as it involves a fair amount of tinkering with edges to force things to tile?
There are also some javascript applications which create repeating patterns based on the symmetry groups, ad i know of some plugins for adobe illustrator that do this, my experience with illustrator was dissapointing [it runs too slow] - and the javascript apps where a little basic for my needs.
any surface pattern designers/ textile designers/ escher fans, etc, who want to share some recommendations?
thank you ever so much:)

Monika,
Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.

CS4 Define Pattern Acting Weirdly!!! Pleas Help (with screenshot)!!!

I'm try to define a 20x20 pixel pattern for infill to create an old crt monitor effect. But Photoshop won't let me define the whole 20x20 but only allows me a 20x1 strip. (I've selected the whole image) There's also a weird "16" at the corner of the defined pattern. I've never had this issue before. Anybody know what's going on??
Thank you for your help!!!
Working in CS4, CMYK 16bit.

Well, the 16 or 32 flag is how Photoshop tells you that the pattern was defined in 16 or 32 bit/channel.
Is part of your image on different layers that aren't selected?
If you had selected the top half of your image, then you might get a single pixel (because the rest is a replication of the top row, and filling with a pattern would get the same result).

Why is define pattern grayed out?

Why is define pattern grayed out? I have an area selected with a texture. RGB 8 bit. Photoshop CC2014.

Define pattern not accessible

Hi
Photoshop CS6 I am facing a problem with Define Pattern function
Preferences have been reset = no change
The problem
with any picture, or new page, using a rectangular marquee to define the pattern, "Edit Menu"
has only Define Brush preset" highlighted = not possible to "Define pattern"
With the same picture or any RGB picture, if I remove the rect marquee, then Define Pattern becomes accessible, and works
but for the all page
It is probable a silly setup somewhere, but I don't find a clue at the moment
Is there someone with a clue of what can be done to reset the "Define Pattern"?
Thanks
John

I suppose that's possible, but then that raises another interesting
question. Why would marquee selection + invert + delete NOT actually
remove the pixels it should?
That would delete any non-contiguous pixels, but why do you think it that would affect some the the semi-opaque pixels on the edge?
Here is a very exaggerated example of what I think is happening. Note the edge pixels have some transparency:
Cmd+Clicking to select the gray square creates a selection retaining the transparency. The Rectangular Marquee and other selection tools do not.

How can I pre-define the default selection in a SelectOneChoice?

How can I pre-define the default selection in a SelectOneChoice?
(1) Here's my JSF-code:
<af:selectOneChoice label="#{res['usercreate.input.sex']}"
value="#{bindings.Sex.inputValue}"
binding="#{SelectListBean.sexlist}"
readOnly="false" autoSubmit="false">
<af:selectItem label="#{res['data.sex.women']}" value="1"/>
<af:selectItem label="#{res['data.sex.man']}" value="2"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
(2): manged bean: to set the default value to be the first in the list, my managed bean as follows:
import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.input.CoreSelectOneChoice;
public class MBSListBean {
private CoreSelectOneChoice sexlist;
public MBSListBean() {
public void setSexlist(CoreSelectOneChoice sexlist) {
this.sexlist = sexlist;
this.sexlist.setValue(1);
public CoreSelectOneChoice getSexlist() {
return sexlist;
(3) when i launch the page, it often gives me such warnings:
WARNUNG: Could not find selected item matching value "1" in CoreSelectOneChoice[UIXEditableFacesBeanImpl, id=_id7]
how to solve the problem ?
Thanks,
wzzdx

You could also set the default on your entity or viewobject, in the properties of your attribute.

How to find the number of fetched lines from select statement

Hi Experts,
Can you tell me how to find the number of fetched lines from select statements..
and one more thing is can you tell me how to check the written select statement or written statement is correct or not????
Thanks in advance
santosh

Hi,
Look for the system field SY_TABIX. That will contain the number of records which have been put into an internal table through a select statement.
For ex:
data: itab type mara occurs 0 with header line.
Select * from mara into table itab.
Write: Sy-tabix.
This will give you the number of entries that has been selected.
I am not sure what you mean by the second question. If you can let me know what you need then we might have a solution.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

How to get the value from select list to text box

Hi,
I have a select list i want to retrieve the value from select list to text box.
How can i do that???
Regards,

Hi Sakthi,
Yo can use the Java script for that..
Dynamically the value will come into text box.
Use the below script.
<script type="text/javascript">
function disFormItems()
var lReturn = $v(here your select list name)
alert(lReturn);
document.getElementById(here your text box name).value =lReturn; }
</script>Cheers,
