There are a lot of ways to save a pattern in Photoshop. You can save it as a file, you can save it as a layer, or you can save it as a document. The best way to save a pattern is to use the Save As command. When you use the Save As command, Photoshop will ask you what type of file you want to create. You can choose to create a file, or you can create a layer. The most important thing is that the file be of the correct format. If the file is not of the correct format, Photoshop will not be able to create the pattern and will tell you so. The most common type of files that Photoshop saves patterns in are PDFs. PDFs are popular because they are easy to read and they support many types of printing technologies. When you use the Save As command with a PDF, Photoshop will also ask if you want to add text or images to the file. If you choose text, then Photoshop will add text formatting information to your pattern when it saves it. If you choose images, then Photoshop will add image formatting information to your pattern when it saves it. If you do not want Photoshop to add text or image formatting information when it saves your pattern, thenyou can choose Not To Add Text or Not To Add Images when saving your pattern using the Save As command.
