It could be something simple like having the blend mode of the layer you have selected set to something like hue that will not display the pattern or possibly you are trying to apply the pattern with a selection made. For purposes of diagnostics you might consider adding a new ‘fill layer’ (pattern) using the new pattern this will eliminate a lot of variables and allow you to see if the pattern is actually visible.

Good luck,
Ron

Thanks I went through the motions of creating new ones a couple of times and it is now working, although not quite sure what I was doing wrong. Thanks for the help. Like you say I probably missed out something simple along the way.

thanks
