Reviewing tiles and pattern previews

The Tile History section of the Pattern Maker dialog box lets you review all the pattern previews you have generated. You can navigate through pattern previews, delete pattern previews, and save tiles as preset patterns.

Important: When you save a tile as a preset pattern, only a single tile is saved, not the full, generated pattern.

To navigate through tiles and pattern previews:

Do one of the following:

• Click the First Tile button , Previous Tile button , Next Tile button , or Last Tile button .
• Type the number of the pattern preview you want to view, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).

If the Update Pattern Preview option is selected, the full pattern is regenerated in the preview area. If the Update Pattern Preview option is deselected, only the tile thumbnail changes.

Deselect Update Pattern Preview to quickly review tiles. When you find the desired tile, select Update Pattern Preview to regenerate the preview.

To delete a tile and pattern preview:

Navigate to the tile you want to delete, and click the Trash button .

To save a tile as a preset pattern:

1. Navigate to the tile you want to save, and click the Preset Pattern button .
2. Enter a preset name, and click OK.

You can create and manage libraries of presets using the Preset Manager. (See Managing libraries with the Preset Manager (Photoshop).)
