There are many ways to add new patterns to Photoshop, but one of the most common is by using the Pattern tool. This tool allows you to create a series of lines or shapes that can be used as a guide for creating new designs. To use the Pattern tool, first click on the desired pattern and then drag it into the canvas. Once you have dragged it into the canvas, release your mouse button and then select a color from the color palette. You can also use this tool to create a gradient by clicking on one of the colors in the palette and then dragging it into the canvas. Once you have created your pattern, you can save it by clicking on its name in the palette and then saving as a PNG file.
