this tutorial was made for adobe photoshop, it may or may not be helpful in the use of other programs, sorry. :*
01. for the instance like at 44suburbia.org, i just copy the pattern, and paste it as a new image.
02. go to edit, define pattern, shown here. and then name your pattern and press OK.
03. go to the paint bucket tool, change the 'forground' part to 'pattern' like so. find the pattern and you can fill any selection with this pattern that you'd like. =]
01. click the download zip link.
02. click save and let it download.
03. save it somewhere, remember that place in case you want to get it at another time. you may even want to make a folder to keep all of the patterns you collect. ;D
04. hit save.
05. when it's done saving/downloading click open folder.
06. right click on the folder and push 'extract all...' and go through the extracting process. ;P
07. look at all those lovely patterns! now there should be a set after all the patterns of some type, either copy that or go back and just copy the whole folder. open up your program and go to fill:pattern, and go to the drop downlist next to it. then click the little arrow to the right, and 'Load Patterns...'. shown here.
