Pattern maker filter

I was reading about the pattern maker filter in Photoshop but can't find it under the Filter menu. I have CS4 and thought this would be an interesting feature to use but can't find it. Is it not available in CS4?

  • Pattern Swatch From Pattern Maker Filter

    Is there a way to copy a new custom Pattern Swatch that you create using the Pattern Maker filter? I have often created a pattern that worked perfect but could only apply it to a layer. I want to be able to save just the custom swatch that patterns correctly so that I can use it as a repeating background image on a website.
    I know I should know this, but it's something that I've never been able to figure out, or find in the Help Menu.

    > Well, you could always open a new file the same size as the pattern you created originally and load it from the Layer Styles > Pattern dialog.
    For some reason it tiles right when I apply the pattern to a large background. But when I attempt to create a simple square tile, even the same size as I started with, and attempt to use it as a repeating background on a web page, you can see the tiling.
    > Or how about after you make a new pattern in Pattern Maker and OK it, you have it load into an open Photoshop window, yes? You know the size of the tile the pattern maker made. How about making a selection the same size and use the arrow keys to move it into place and then copy/paste a new doc.
    Sounds good on paper Welles. But I can't get it to work right. I still see the tiling when I save the file out this way and use it as a background.
    I don't need this for anything urgent. And I know I can make something work for when I need it. The pattern I'm working with has a lot of texture so when it repeats outside of applying it in Photoshop, it just doesn't match up right. I had hoped there would be an easy way to capture the custom Pattern Maker Tile as a single image that could be used to repeat itself without seeing the tiling.
    Maybe this would be a good feature request. Thanks for both of your input.

  • Pattern Maker in Photoshop CC?

    Does anyone know if the pattern maker filter plug-in is available for CC, and if so where to find it? I did a search on the Adobe site and could only find info on downloading the pattern maker filter plug-in for CS6.

    There are the scripted pattern features in 14.2.  I don't knoe exactly what Pattern Maker could do, but the 14.2 tools are impressive.

  • Pattern Maker is gone?

    Can some one please tell me why I cant find "pattern maker" in the Filter menu - using cs5

    Pattern Maker was removed in CS4. It is still available in the Optional Plug-ins package but that hasn't been posted yet for CS5. If you really need it really fast then you can try installing the CS4 version as it should work:

  • Pattern Maker Greyed Out

    Hi I'm on CS3 and the Filter>Pattern Maker menu item is Grayed Out ie I can't select it. I've tried the few things I can think of. Anybody come across this what am I missing?
    ps Plugin is in the correct Folder.
    I know how to do it manually but that takes quite a while so, please help.

    Have you moved anything from the default installation location or created any subfolders to hide the Photoshop folder? Is your file 8-bit or 16-bit? RGB or CMYK?

  • Pattern Maker or another plug-in for Photoshop CC?

    Hello, I know there is no longer patter maker in CC. I used it for creating patterns from existing background in an image. With pattern features in 14.2 I can't reach the same effect. Pattern maker was aware of the edges of the pattern and created good end result. Can anybody give me an advice what to use/do? thanks

    What kind of backgrounds are you talking about?
    One popular approach is creating a new document from a rectangular or square element and applying the Filter Offset (with something like half the width and height as horizontal and vertical offsets).
    This usually makes the borders noticeable (if they are noticeable at all) and one can then touch them up.

  • Pattern Maker Plug-in won't install on my Mac

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if anyone else had a similiar issue. I downloaded the pattern maker plug in from Adobe and when I go to install (drag and drop into the filter folder) into photoshop CS4 I get the following error message that, "Photoshop does not recongize this file type".
    Thx,

  • Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4?

    What happened to the Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4? Are they gone or placed somewhere else?

    Hi guys,
    I might be an old fart! But I love extract... Are there any other way to make transparent pixels on the edges on the object you want cut out?
    Personally I cry at night for the semi-loss of Extract! This means that Adobe wont improve it any more and with time the filter might be all gone!?!
    cheers

  • Please help me install Pattern Maker?

    Hi,
    At this url:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4687&fileID=4377
    I am trying to download the plugin:
    CS5_Optional_PlugIns_Installer.dmg
    The files included are:
    CS5 Optional Extension Plug-Ins.mxp
    and
    CS5 Optional Plugins.mxp
    When I attempt to install either of these two files, I get the following error message:
    I’m attempting to place the installs into the Applications> Photoshop CS5 > Plugins > Optional Plugins
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.5
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    Sorry if I confused, but I just want to make sure that you don't have all the Optional Extensions installed and enabled (as fallout from trying to get Pattern Maker working). There are two .mxp files and you mentioned trying to install both of them. I haven't seen the actual error you get, so to be safe, I'm suggesting that you make sure to disable all the Optional Extensions (and likely all the optional plug-ins that you don't need too). The installers are/were all or nothing (I'm not sure if the installer .mxp for Optional Extensions has been removed yet).
    The quickest way to uninstall is using the CS5 Service Manager application (IF it is working correctly). The quickest way to tell if they are installed is probably to look in this folder: Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-Ins/Extensions.
    There should only be 5 there by default: Enable Async IO, FastCore, MMXCore, MultiProcessor Support, and ScriptingSupport.
    Let me know if you still have  questions,
    regards,
    steve

    Hi Linda,
    If you installed the Optional Extensions Plug-Ins.mxp you'll want to uninstall all of them (or disable them and only enable individual ones that are needed). To uninstall, use the CS5 Extension Manager. To disable them, individually rename each with a tilde(~) as the first character.
    regards,

  • In desperate need of a Pattern Maker!!!

    Photoshop CS6 no longer has the Pattern Maker nor supports the plugin that was available in CS5. Does anyone know of a software or 3rd party plugin that will create patterns from high res photo files? I've searched in Google, like crazy, but alas have found nothing.
    I really a software to help me on tricky patterns for products at work. "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!"
    BTW, for compatibility issues, I'm using OSX Mountain Lion.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Take a look at Scripted Patterns in CS6.

  • So they removed Pattern maker, and the Extract filters from Photoshop CS4

    Personally I hardly ever used these, but did occasionally. I was wondering how this is going to affect others?
    I don't see how removing two items from the filters menu makes much difference to anything. Maybe its more of a launch time issue, although I'm not sure that taking functionality away just to have fraction of a second faster launch, is a little daft.
    They are still included on the CD, but this is going to inconvenience me if I ever need them in a freelance role. There were problems with both of them: When I first saw extract, it was almost as if the engineeers themselves hadn't woken up to non destructive editing. And pattern maker lacks the most obvious features, and doesn't perform particularly well. They are also both slow and cumbersome to use.
    But
    they do have other occasional uses beyond what they were (admittedly quite badly) designed for, especially pattern maker for reintroducing sampled texture sourced from the image. I don't see much replacement for this

    Regarding "Extract" and "PatternMaker":
    If you really need them right now, just add the CS3 plug-ins into CS4 they will work as they always have.
    Actually, John Nack has stated that those old plug-ins will be downloadable from the Adobe site if you need them.
    >We've bitten the bullet with this release and have sent a number of features into retirement. Extract, Pattern Maker, Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet, Picture Package, and PDF Presentation have been removed from the default installation.
    >
    The latter four have been replaced by the Output module in Bridge CS4, and our intention is to replace Extract with features inside Photoshop (building on Refine Edge & more). All of these except PDF Presentation will remain available as optional installs (to be posted on Adobe.com), but over time they'll be phased out.
    [Emphasis mine.]

  • Pattern maker plugin for Illustrator?

    I'm looking for a decent pattern maker plugin for Illustrator. There is an app called Seamless Studio (http://www.colourlovers.com/seamless-studio) that has the functionality I'm seeking, but it's a stand-alone program. Is there a plugin out there that has its functionality?
    (PS: I know how to make patterns the manual way, just looking for a faster and easier method.)
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
