Hi,
I have seen pattern and texture used synonymously in the context of Photoshop writings and they are managed together in the ‘Preset Manager’ but are not accessible together in the
‘Filter’>’Texture’ dialogues. Are Textures a kind of Pattern? Are textures and patterns constructed differently? Can any pattern be used as or converted to a texture?

Thanks,
Ron

I think I see – textures abstract the pattern’s value while ignoring color to control things like brush flow control. Is that correct? If that is true then why don’t patterns show up in the filters dialouegs – like ‘Glass’ or ‘Rough Pastels’?
