Pattern Fill not working

[Laura Cherry]

I am able to define a pattern

..when i go to fill a layer- I select the pattern, click the settings and hit ok- the loading bar pops up-then nothing, like it never happened. its still a blank layer.

Yes, I have the whole page selected. It's not working with script patterns eiter IE: brick.

Ive tried reinstalling and restarting. Also purging.

It worked fine last night, im not sure what the issue is. I did have to force close PS once, could that have messed it up?

Hi

Have you checked the blending mode and opacity settings in the fill dialogue?

[Laura Cherry]

yes, opacity is at 100% and mode is normal

Reinstalling does not reset Preferences. Resetting them may solve the problem, especially if you recently had to Force Quit.

Wouldn't reinstalling reset the preferences though? I've tried that
