Open the image you want to use as a pattern and then click on the Foreground swatch on the Material's Palette. Click on the pattern tab and your image will be there. Click on it and use it as you would any other pattern.

Yes, I understood what you wanted to do. Maybe the attached video will help.

Also, make sure you are using the Complete workspace.

You need to unzip Kathy's file (download it, right-click on it, unzip...)

Kathy_9 did in her original post. You can find this information in the help documents as well. Working with colors and materials

1) Open the image you want to use as a pattern
2) Click on the Foreground swatch on the Materials Palette

3) A color picker dialog will appear - click on the Patterns Tab in this dialog

4) Depending on your version of PSP you'll either see a drop-down box with a preview of the pattern, or just a list of patterns
5) Choose your open image from the list

6) Hit OK

There are also videos on YouTube on the use of patterns
