My pattern assets are missing

[#1]

Hi. I opened Photoshop 2020 (Windows 10) today to find that all of my assets in the new Pattern panel have disappeared! Does anyone know if I can get them back and how? Thank you.

Hi,

Manage pattern libraries and presets (Show legacy patterns)

What happens when you click on panel menu > Restore Default Patterns? Have you tried that?

[#5]

My default patterns are showing in the Patterns panel. But I had added some .PAT files of my own since I upgraded to PS2020. Those are the ones that are missing. I've been using them and now they are gone.

Thank you.

Import the pattern you saved from the pattern panel menu.

I don't know the exact location for Windows, but it is here for my Mac.

/Users/User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2020/Presets/Patterns/Your Patterns.pat

The file names have all been changed to "untitled*", but they are there! Thank you so much!

hello, I have the same problem (I'm on MacOS 10.15.4 and using PS 21.1.3). The Patterns folder in the Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2020/Presets folder is empty and there's no "My patterns" in the Pattern panel menu.

I also looked into old PS versions' Patterns folders but they are all empty.

What can I do?

All the other presets are here, just the Patterns are not.

here's a screenshot of my Patterns panel menu

thanks so much in advance

Hi!

I was just using my patterns this morning and now when I went back to use them again from the pattern panel they are gone! Not all of them just the most recent ones (the ones I made in the past 3 months). Where did they go? I am worried they are gone forever. I tried to do load patterns but I didnʻt save a .pat file so I donʻt have something to load.

I have the same problem, am on Mac OS 10.15.4 and using Ps 21.1.3. I searched for "your patterns.pat" but did not find it, in the preset section of the Application support for Photoshop 2020 I only have an AMT folder and a PDF folder.

I am at loss. What can I do?

ps this is my Pattern menu

Hi I just opened my photoshop and i have the exact same problem! All the patterns i created are gone! Have you been able to find a solution to this??

[#12]

Today, I had a Photoshop update and I am having the same issue. All the patterns I have created (about 200) are gone. I have checked the presets and the only ones there are the ones that come with the software. Where can I find them?

Hi, did it happen with the 21.2.1 update?

Were the patterns saved on disk, or did they just exist in the patterns panel?

[#14]

Yes, it did! After further research I learned that I did not save the patterns as presets so my fault. I have the backup for each so I had to re-define the patterns. Lesson learned- thanks for the reply though!
