Why aren't my Capture patterns seamless?

Hi Folderolgirl.

One of the forum regulars (Semaphoric​) posted these instructions on a post (Repeat tile) quite some time ago and they always work for me.

Hopefully they'll work for you.

If you're using Photoshop CC, you can do this:

* Open the Libraries panel in Photoshop, right-click on the pattern you're interested in, and choose "Create Pattern Preset" from the pop-up menu.

* Now look in Edit > Presets > Preset Manager and choose Patterns for Preset Type. Find the desired pattern, and hover the mouse over it. You will see the dimensions in pixels of one tile. NOTE: you must have Show Tool Tips checked in the prefs to see this.

* Make a note of these dimensions, and click Done. make a new doc with these dimensions, and Edit > Fill, Contents = Pattern, choose your pattern, and click OK. You will now have a doc with a single tile in it.

* Pasting that tile repeatedly into a new Ps document will I think get you the endlessly repeating pattern you're looking for.

(Note: Most patterns created with Capture are one of only a few different sizes, depending on if the patterns are rectangular or hexagonal, so you can set up some New Document presets for these sizes.)
