a lot of my patterns have gone missing from photoshop recently. i have checked the presets folders of my previous versions on my laptop and there's nothing in the pattern folders. where are they? how do i get them back? i may need to edit or duplicate some work where i used those patterns and i'm concerned about not having them. working on pc ps 25.0.0 - also this version of ps has been kind of a pain since it came out so i'm almost not surprised.
Hi Victoria. I think Christoph interpreted 'My patterns' as patterns you had created. I must admit I parsed it that way till reading your second post. You can retrieve the default patterns by clicking on the four bars top right of the pattern menu.
If you do create your own patterns then you really do need to save them to avoid losing them with a major version update.
Select the pattern or Patterns. They can be a new group or at the bottom of the panel.
Choose Export and give them a name.
This will save them to a .pat file that lives on your drive, and not somewhere in Photoshop Settings
We can see you are using Windows, so this is the file location (Note: I am using the beta version)
C:\Users\[Your User Name0\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Presets\Patterns
This applies to brush presets (,abr) Shapes, styles gradients etc.
