  1. This is putting bubbles all over my picture. If I delete the layer it doesn’t look anything like your example. Is this compatible with Photoshop CC??

  2. I downloaded the free sample, but it said the file is damaged and I couldn't open it. Is anyone else having this problem?

  3. Leider wird noch sehr viel unseres Potentials zum Englisch
    Lernen nicht genutzt, oder es wird falsch genutzt.

    1. You need to load the PAT file. Doubleclick on the PAT file or load it manually in Photoshop. More specific instructions are in the instructions.html file

    1. Make sure you've loaded in the .pat file (Photoshop Patterns). Doubleclick it and it should show up in your Preset Manager (Edit > Presets > Preset Manager) under the "Patterns" dropdown menu. If it's not there, click the Load button and browse for the .pat file to load.
