Can't figure out how to use multiple patterned file

[ArtifactMaps]

So, I bought FILE #: 102379600

from stock.

I assumed that this would contain repeatable background patterns for each of the patterns in the full image.

On downloading it looks like just the preview image that is a montage of all of the images.

I must be missing something obvious... is there a way to contact the artist?

I tried opening it in AI, but the tiny swatches are not repeating so the image I have seems kind of useless...

help?

Hi James,

You can select portions of the file in Illustrator, but this is beyond the scope of the Adobe Stock forum. Moving this to the Illustrator forum.

Open Window > Swatches.

Are the patterns in there?

Thanks. I did a bunch of clicking and i figured it out. I guess it was my lack of experience with Illustrator. Other Vectors I've gotten in the past have been individual files. I usually only work in photoshop.

Thanks

James
