I try to use Fill in adobe photoshop cc. I select Edit>Fill and i picked a custom pattern and enabled the random fill script. After i select 'Ok', a new function panel pop up and i configured the density and scale factor. After i clicked 'Ok', my pattern was not filled at all. Nothing were displayed, not a single pattern. Please help me.

Correct answer Chuck Uebele

You have to increase the density, and you might need to run the fill a couple times, as the pattern is small. Or also increase the pattern size.

I've JUST clocked it! Been stuck on this for months.
You can't create a pattern over a transparent overlay. You need to create a solid pattern layer and only then will the pattern layer style work!

Hi!

Did you have anything selected on your layer when you tried to fill? Or, were you trying to fill a whole layer?

Also could you show us a screen shot of your pattern? I agree with Chuck--your pattern is not visible in the preview window, and I am wondering what you captured.

Also, what version of PS are you using?

Thanks,

Michelle
