Pattern layer - how to paste something into that


Recommended Posts

Hey, has anyone figured out how to paste something existing in there? I only managed to create a pattern from scratch but I'd like to use assets that I already have but I can't. I can't even type text into it because it's on a different layer. Can't use the pen tool because  it's on a different layer. Nothing, just the brush.

Sure, I can make a pattern layer from a selection but that's about it. Did anyone find some smart ways to work with that? I'm having a huge fight getting a text in an existing brush with a box around it.

Clipping doesn't do anything

Position the new element above the master tile of the Pattern Layer and then do Merge Down.

Wow! That works? Great tip! Thanks!

Edit: Yes! That works!!
