Quickest Technique to Repeat a Pattern

Hi All,

This is my 1st post.

When I am trying to make a pattern that will fit a certain area I always just cut and paste to grow the pattern to a certain size. Is there an easier way to do this?

yes... make one part of your pattern, select that part of the pattern and go to edit --> define pattern.
After that select the part of image you want to fill...

go to edit --> fill
Select pattern from the dropdown and there you go!
Free patterns for everyone! ;)

I knew there had to be any easy way. You are a genius. Thanks NL.
