Pattern Stamp Tool
                  Pattern  Stamp  Tool is  different  from Clone  Stamp  Tool.  It helps  you  to  create a  pattern.  The
                  customised patterns can be saved and loaded using Pattern panel, which appears in the Options
                  bar of the Pattern Stamp Tool and the Paint Bucket Tool. These saved patterns can also be applied
                  as background in various projects. To use the available patters in Photoshop, open a document and
                  select the Pattern Stamp Tool. Then, select a brush and choose your pattern from the Options bar.
                  Click and drag on the canvas. The pattern gets repeated wherever you click. Perform these steps to
