Do you know any good pattern software for Windows? I tried a few web based ones but they weren't great

Because of this bit of that webpage you link, i thought i could adjuat the tile in realtime and see impact on full document. "After a pattern is added or made from a pixel selection, a bounding box indicates the "real" area of the pattern which can be transformed or edited at any time". File is large as will be ultimatelt printed quite big

The problem with hiding it that its the only bit that remains editable/tweakable So If I hide it, I'm then not able to rejig the elements (layers) within the tile to get the layout right for the pattern, which is my whole objective. I need to be able to adjust it while seeing the impact on the whole pattern

Extra questions- After following those steps it seems to have layered my original 'tile' (the group) over the top of the pattern at the top left. This original tile is the only bit that remains editable/tweakable, so If I hide it, I'm then not able to rejig the elements (layers) within the tile to get the layout right, which is my whole objective. I see that when I select the 'pattern' layer a bounding box appears more central on the canvas, but nothing within it is editable. helppp

Well, I cant say i understand what happened or why it worked. BUT IT WORKED. Thank goodness for you!

Hi friends, I'm using Affinity Photo 2 to make a pattern. I'm selecting all the various layers that I want to make up the pattern tile (which are arranged top left of the attached doc) Then I select menu items: layer/new pattern layer from selection. It does make a pattern but only uses one of the layers I selected, instead of all of them. I've tried grouping the layers before making the pattern but it doesnt work at all. I dont want to merge all the layers i have as then i wont be able to tweak the design once I can see it in pattern form. Please help! test.afphoto
