Subject: Patterns in photoshop?
I am pretty sure the answer to this is no. What I do is fill a large canvas with the pattern and take it into the file I am working on and rotate it using the Free Transform tool. If you hold shift it will snap to set angles.

That's what I do as well, I was hoping there was an easier way. So I'm guessing it's not possible in CS5 either, right?
Right now I got a project that will end up with close to 40 layers before I merge them all and I want to apply the pattern on all of them, but not all the same angle...

I know if you rasterize the pattern overlay you can, but when you rasterize the pattern it keeps the shape of it's original selection.
I'm going to have to look into that, I didn't even know I could rasterize a pattern! lol It's funny because I've been working for over 10 years every freakin day with photoshop and there's still tools and stuff that I don't know what they're for... If I did maybe my life would be much easier! rofl

If you go in Layer/new fill layer and choose pattern, then you'd need to rasterize the layer if you want to be able to make transformations (besides rescaling) to it. I think that's what Mystikel is referring to?

Yep, that's what I mean :D
If you right click on the pattern layer a list will pop up and simply click rasterize. :D

I think this question has been asked before so forgive me if I ask again... Is there a way when using the pattern overlay in the layer style to rotate the pattern (example if the pattern is made of horizontal lines, rotate it so it will be diagonal)? I'm using CS3, but should receive CS5 sometimes next week so if it's not possible in CS3, is it possible in CS5?
