Using The Fill Tool (From Clipboard) | Using a clipboard fill can be much more convenient than the pattern fill since you don't need to create a pattern beforehand. Select the marquee tool - you can use any marquee type for this, in this example we'll use a rectangular one. | | | | Select the region you want to use as a pattern. | | | | Press , select 'Edit', then select 'Copy' to copy the selection to the clipboard. | | | | Press , select 'Edit', then 'Deselect' to remove the marquee. | | | | Select the fill tool and press to open the settings. | | | | Choose 'From Clipboard' from the 'Fill Style' menu. | | | | When you are finished with these settings, press the 'Done' button. | | | | Press and release the spacebar or on the region you want to fill. | | | |
