Ever wonder how to save glitter fills in photoshop for future use? Well here is a tiny tut that I hope will help.
Firstly, find your glitter fill you like.
Save it to your computer.
1. Open up Imageready and then open up the glitter fill you just saved. You should see 2-4 frames. Depends on the glitter.
2. Go to File>Edit in Photoshop. This should take the glitter fill and add it to Photoshop. You should see the same amount of layers as you saw frames in Imageready.
3. Click on a layer, making sure that the "eye" is clicked and the layer is active. Also making sure your other layers are hidden (you should not see the eye). You should also have ONE eye and layer active.

4. Once you are sure you have only one layer active, go to Edit>Define Pattern> then give the fill a name. Click Ok.
5. Then go back to the layers, unclick the active layers eye and click the next layer making it active with the eye showing. Then repeat step 4. Do this for each layer you have.
Now you will always have that glitter fill for future needs :)
