  3. Oooorrr Ya'lls could just make your own and choose your own color. But having a nice starter list is a good thing to bounce off of.

    Too bad PS sucks at real live feedback on creating them without having to keep creating them from a selection in the menu list and reopening the layer style to assign.

    Someone write a plugin that creates a realtime view of a tile. THAT would be something.

    • To change the colours you would ideally use them along with Photoshop's blending modes. For instance you could set the pattern to Multiply, then place a red fill over the top set to Screen (or something along those lines!)
      You could also use the Pattern and Color Overlay options in the layer styles window.

      • I just press ctrl (pc) & layer tbumbnail to load a selection then choose fill bucket with new colour. Use opacity or fill % to adjust if needed with blend modes.
