free photoshop and illustrator patterns
by PeHaa on 28/02/09 at 3:29 pm
I played a bit with the flowers I used on my kokeshi dolls’ kimonos. I added some spiral stems and stroked them with one of the built-in calligraphic brush (we are in Illustrator now). As a result: two sets of patterns for Photoshop (a zipped.pat file) and Illustrator (swatches library in a zipped .ai file). I hope you find them nice and/or useful. If so feel free to download (as always both for personal and commercial use).
How to install/load in patterns:
- PS: Put the .pat file you’ve downloaded into the folder /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS…/Presets/Patterns (on mac OS X) or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\ (on Windows) (the dots … are there since I don’t know your PS version).
- AI: either open the .ai file (my pattern swatches will be automatically loaded) or go to Swatches>Other Library and choose the path to the .ai file.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
Sorry for that, I had no idea that back-saving is necessary. I hope it works now. If it still doesn’t please let me know.

Hi PeHaa,
I am having a problem installing the hibiscus pattern. I have a PC and CS2. Please advice.

I have PS 5.0 Limited. I can’t seem to find a ‘presents’ folder to put the file in. It comes up as an autocad hatch file (I actually have autocad if that helps). Any advice? Thanks.
