Script patterns and fills
I need to crop images unto another background. Does photoshop elements 12 have the script patterns and fills. If not, will I be able to use any other backgrounds from another application, i.e, powerpoint or web images?
From the version number you gave, I'm guess you have Photoshop CC 2014. The full version is 2014.2.2
The Scripted Patterns are under Filter menu > Render
If you are still using Photoshop CC (14.2.1) then here's where you would access the scripted patterns under Edit > Fill

I am using Photoshop CC2014 15.00. In the pop-up menu for the Fill command there is a place for Scripted patterns. Within that part, the tree and the picture frame are grayed.
Why? I've seen demonstrations on how to use the feature but mine doesn't work. I checked the updates and I have the current version.
Thanks. LMI am running CC 2014.2.1 and I've updated to Yosemite. Not seeing tree or frame as an option in the menu. Coworker still on Mavericks has it.

PS CS6 Scripted Pattern Fill Problem
Hi,
Has any one seen this before?
When i do a normal Fill with Pattern the pattern is the right colour, image (1)
But if i select Scripted Patterns Image (2) it always comes out with random colours.There is also a scripted UI for these scripts http://uebelephoto.com/CS6_Fill.html
Scripted Fill UI v 1.2 for Photoshop CS6
This script creates a User Interface for changing the variables in Photoshop CS6's new scripted fills, so the average user does not have to edit Photoshop's fill scripts. There is a readme file included with the zip download that describes the script in more detail and how to use it. This script is free and can be modified for your own use, but it can not be modified for resale.
This script is a work in progress and there are some bugs with it, which I will attempt to fix as time permits.
Updated 5/1/2012
I do not use it nor do I understand its UI -
Why do I keep getting Error 519: Server interface error" - Server interface error "no component returned from creativewidget' Line: 479 -> var test = parent.add('statictext', undefined, text) when I try to use pattern fill/scripted patterns. I have uninstalled and re-installed PS CC. I have opened holding down shift to disable third party plug-ins. I have moved 3rd party plugins to a temp location outside of ps and it still doesn't help. It worked once, and only once and now won't work at all.

Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box is missing "Scripted Pattern" option..
Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box (using the most current Creative Cloud) is missing "Scripted Pattern" option which is supposed to be at the very bottom. Instead, in the middle of the box I have the option to check the word "Script" which brings up only six fill patterns (such as Brick, Sprial, etc). In the tutorials I see that by using Scripted Patterns (the tree option for one) brings up many, many choices.
Big changes made in Fill between CC and CC 2014. CC Fill dialog on top CC2014 Fill dialog bottom. Picture Frame and Tree moved from Fill to Render Filter and new Flame pattern added into render filter grouped with Picture Frame and Tree.

The Scripted Pattern Fill for "Tree" is missing - the others are there. What happened? Please help.
When I go to Edit > Fill and choose "Pattern". I check the "Script: box and click the drop-down arrow. The following display: Brick Fill / Cross Weave / Place Along Path / Random Fill / Spiral /
Symmetry Fill ------ but NOT Tree.
What is wrong? I've reset everything - still no Tree.
Please help.
Thank youSilkrooster - you did the job ! Thank you so very much.
Of course, this brings me to another question if you don't mind answering. Is there some place I can look when updates come up in Cloud for me to "update" that I can read about each change? I see this sort of situation happens often for me and I would like to be able to try to find answers on my own instead of asking each time. (This way, I'd help myself learn the program too.) I know you have an online manual - but the content is not alphabetized which makes it very time-consuming to sift through.
I am seriously deficient in "tech" type stuff and a simple, alphabetized content somewhere would be so very much help. Maybe you have it and I just don't know where to look.
Thanks again for telling me about the Tree pattern being moved. YEAH !! -
Script to click on Stroke and Fill and Swap and Default and ...
Hey gang,
I have been playing with configurator 3.1.1 where you can make a button on a toolbar and supply it with a script. I am trying to make a custom toolbar for InDesign CS6. It already includes buttons for all the tools, except for (I am shocked to note) Stroke, Fill, Swap, Default, Apply Color, Apply Gradient, Apply None, and possibly Formatting Affects Container and Formatting Affects Type. I don't know how to command these missing 7-9 parts of the toolbox panel.
My workaround? Use the Configurator Script button, and supply the button with scripting that calls the functional button command. In reading and researching, I found one command: StrokeFillProxyOptions.FILL which presses the Fill Proxy button.
Alas, I don't have the complete picture. That expression alone does not make the whole clickable script button work. Can you help me write the whole line of script code that would make the button click?
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in MarylandHi Michael
app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN;
Is going to work provided you have the text frame selected. If it's not you'll get an ugly error message.
You can avoid this by
if (app.documents.length && app.selection.length && app.selection [ 0 ].constructor.name == "TextFrame")
app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN;
if (app.documents.length && app.selection.length && app.selection [ 0 ].hasOwnProperty ( 'baseline' ))
app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN;
This will work if the frame is selected (first if statement) or if text if selected or if the cursor is by text (second if statement and do nothing (without giving error messages) if the is no selection or document open etc.
Good Luck

Wierd pixelated output from scripted pattern fill
Hey guys,
so I've got a problem with Photoshop CC 2014 on Mac OSX 10.9.4 - everytime I try to use the scripted pattern fill I get this really wierd pixelated output from it, rather than a pattern. This happens whether I'm using the new tree generator, or just a regular scripted pattern - like the random fill. I've included a screengrab here of what it looks like. It doesn't matter what settings I use for the fill, but everytime I use it I get this. It's really wierd, not to mention slowing me down on a couple of jobs I've got on too >_<
Any ideas? Has anyone come across anything like this before?
Thanks in advance!I'm not seeing that on Windows

Scripted pattern fill broken in last 2014 update?
Is there something wrong with my last october 2014 update? The scripted scripted pattern fill no longer works as it should...
Win 7 64 Pro.1. It has less items than in earlier version eg no trees
2. It fills the subject with the "standard" fills not the chosen scripted fill. For instance if I choose bricks I get the bubbles with more or less faint outlines of what could be vaguely recognised as bricks. -
Where are the scripted patterns!!!!!!!
i have the latest version of Photoshop cc. For some reason i cant find the scripted patterns option. I press fill and it is not inside the fill box. PLEASE HELP!!

Hey,
I'm trying to use the pattern and matcher to replace all instances of a website
address in some html documents as I process them and post them. I'm
including a sample of some of the HTML below and the code I"m using to
process it. For some reason it doesn't replace the sites in the underlying
images and i can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please forgive all the
unused variables, those are relics of another way i may have to do this if i
can't get the pattern thing to work.

your " " tags for a string. I don't think so. '/' is not a special character for Java regex, nor for Java String.
The reason i used
literal is to try to force it to directly match,
originally i thought that was the reason it wasn't
working.That will be no problem because it enforces '.' to be treated as a dot, not as a regex 'any character'.

Hi all,
I am the developer of the Deco scripting engine that is used to create scripted patterns in Photoshop CS6. I would like to continue the interesting discussions and exchange of patterns and images that many of you started on the pre-release forum.
If you go to the following page (link) you can get a brief overview of how to add new scripted patterns to Photoshop CS6. Check out a few Deco scripts that create boundary patterns. The size of the boundary depends on the width
of the input pattern – you want a wider boundary, create a wider pattern.
Feel free to ask me any questions related to pattern scripting.
Enjoy,
RadomirHi David, ok, running directly from the scripts this is the error I get;
Error 2 : RenderAPI is undefined.
Line 17
->var pattern = RenderAPI.getParameter(kps pattern); //get pattern
information.
The other path script I have that works is ' specify varying sizes along path '... author unknown but Paul something rings a bell...here is that script;
//Script Copyright 2012 by Richard Y. Kain. I am indebted to others who made predecessor
//scripts that did not have varying copy sizes and varying copy spacing, which I added by
//rewriting portions and resturcturing the information transferred among the two scripts.
//This script for Photoshop CS6 displays the dialog window and eventually calls deco fill to
//execute the script mentioned below.
//The major feture is that the sizes of the pattern can vary progressively along the path, and
//the spacing of the copies can be specified. This script invokes the script "Varying Path and Spacing"
//that is called from the fill dialog to actually render the pattern copies.
//The scripts should be located in the directory \presets\deco in the CS6 program files context.
//This script should be invoked from Photoshop through the File>Scripts path

Crosshatch Pattern to fill Text Box or polygon shape???
I often have a need to define a certain area or room of a floor plan as the part we'll be using.
In the past, I've done this by creating a text box with No Borders, then filling it with a color and 25% opacity.
Our new attorney says "no colors...use a cross-hatch pattern in the defined area".
So, my question is, once I've defined the area with a text box or by using the Polygon Tool, how do I fill the space with a crosshatch pattern???
I've tried creating a small jpg (attached) of the sort of pattern I'd like it to be filled with, but can't figure out how to implement it so it will be used as a fill option.
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 9.2.0.
Thanks again,
D Flash
Durham, NC (usa)Michael,
Thanks for your response (and lawyer humor!).
I've attached a document showing the type of thing the lawyer's referring to.
in the attached drawing it shows two spaces we're using, surrounded by a polygon box and "filled" with a slightly opaque color.
His concern is after much copying, it would always be easier to see the defined area if it was filled with a crosshatch, as opposed to a color.
Is there a way to do that, perhaps using a custom-made stamp...I tried that with the jpg I provided in my previous post, but the jpg would not "fill" the area, and I was not able to "size" it to fill my space.
Do you (or anyone else) have any suggestions as to how to accomplish what he's asking of me, using Acrobat????
Thanks so much,
Flash -
Cannot open scripted pattern dialog. Default values will be used.
Hello everybody!
After I updated Photoshop to 14.2 I have an issue with Scripted patterns. I can select all of them, but when i click OK this pops up:
And I can't pick any settings for my scripted patterns.
My GPU is nVidia GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) with 2GB of VRAM. All of the GPU Acceleration features are enabled in Photoshop.
The issue is the same both on 32bit and 64bit version of Photoshop.
I'm on Windows 8.1 x64.
I tried turning of "Use OpenGL" in the Scripted patterns settings file in "Photoshop/Presets/Deco", still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for help!Hoi Goran,
Start Photoshop as Administrator, look if this works. For me this did the trick, it was a rights issue....
Regards,
Leon
