I added a pattern using Edit> Define Pattern. When I select a pattern in either the Pattern Stamp Tool, or the Paint Bucket Pattern, my newly added pattern shows up in the list of values.
When I go to the Type Tool the new pattern does not show as an option.
Does anyone know if and hoe I can use a user defined pattern in the Type Tool?
Thanks in advance!
One way is to use a Pattern Fill Layer.
Put a Pattern Fill Layer above your text by going to Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern and check Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask and click OK.
A clipping mask permits only the text to be filled with a pattern instead of the whole document
In the next dialog you can choose the Pattern.
To change the pattern later, double click on the Pattern Fill Layer icon in the Layers Panel.
