Photoshop - Fill pattern script (all pattern turn black)

[nv79797637]

hi, new to photoshop, learning how to fill a pattern on a doc.

I made a pattern with a PINK heart. but after I filled it, it becomes all black. how come?

tried different patterns and different scripts (brick wall, symmetry, random etc.), even the window of setting up the spacing, scale etc.....the prevew and the final result - they all become black.

no problem when I use "new fill layer" function (the color is right but they all line up in the same row) but I want to use the scripts as there are more variations.

Did I do anything wrong? thanks for your help.

Good on you to post a screenshot, but in my opinion the screenshot you posted is pretty much clipped to meaninglessness.

Please clarify the settings you used in the Scripted Pattern Fill dialog.

here is the screenshot of the setting. the pattern all turn black once the window pop up.... even though I didn't change anything.

try to change settings - the distribution of the pattern change but they still all black. Thanks.

Why Mode »Overlay«?

Please try »Normal«.

this is just the screenshot for one of the setting.

tried all different settings and variations. they all black like the screenshot i attached before.

no matter it's normal, overlay, sprial, symetic, brick or all other variations. they jsut all turn out black.

I even tried another pattern, they also turn black - both in the preview and document

I was referring to the Blending Mode, you seem to be mixing terms here so I am not sure you are referring to that, also.

At which bit depth and in which Color Mode did you create the Pattern?

[nv79797637]

Yes. i know what you mean. the blending mode, i tried different setting of blending mode. still black. as i mentioned, i treid all different blending or style variations. they all black.

i tried RGB mode and cmyk mode, 8 bit - all black.

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
