How to Install a Pattern in Adobe Photoshop
First, download the pattern you would like to use. I’ll be using this Floral Pattern Set. Open a New Document at any size and select the Paint Bucket Tool (G). Set the Fill Source to Pattern.
Click the dropdown menu from the Paint Bucket Tool and select Load Patterns. Select the pattern you would like to use and load it from the appropriate folder.
The pattern should now be loaded wherever patterns are applicable. To use the pattern, simply select it from the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and click on the canvas to apply it easily.
Or use it to decorate simple shapes by right-clicking the shape layer, selecting Blending Options, and applying a Pattern Overlay with the settings you desire.
