Hi Tom,

Cheers for the message.  Yes the intention is, I have a folder of around a thousand different swatches and a lifestyle image showing a room with a blank blind at the window. 

With previous actions I've been able to just slot the swatch in a layer behind the room image - as the room had a blank space where the blind should be.

I'm having to do this one differently as the PSD files weren't created by me.

Since there's so many having a dialogue pop up to select a different pattern isn't really practical.

The action essentially needs to:

•open swatch.jpeg

• create pattern from jpeg

• open PSD file

• change layer style on specific layer to Pattern Overlay BASED on the last pattern created

• save as with file name of swatch in an output folder

If it's not possible I'm just going to have to amend the PSD files myself to allow the action to work as it used to!
