Making Simple Patterns within Pro Paint

To import an image into Pro Paint i went to file an then clicked on Merge. I then browsed for the image i wished to use in my pattern and selected open.

After importing the image i was able to copy it by selecting the whole image and left clicking and dragging another image away.

One way of editing the image is to use the paint tool, by left clicking on this, selecting a colour from the colour palette and then selecting certain parts of an image you can add solid colours using the image as a base for a pattern.


To repeat the pattern inside a selected area i selected the 'select rectangle' tool and dragged a box around the patter i had created.

To repeat the pattern in a chosen area i selected the 'repeat pattern' tool that can be found at the bottom of the programme window, below the colour palette. I then selected the area that i wished the pattern to fill and my repetitive pattern was complete.
