Next
Create a new adjustment layer and select pattern from the list. A new pop up will appear. Here’s where you can get creative! Photoshop has a whole bunch of preset canvas patterns for you look choose on! Pick one, adjust the scale and place on your photo! Easy, right?
Then
You’ll need to change the blend mode so you can see your subject. Multiply, screen, overlay or soft light tend to work best for me- but there is no right or wrong one to choose. After you select a blend mode, adjust the opacity to your liking.

Hey Carol! Try this:
Try going up top to window>patterns. You’ll see a pop up on the side. In the upper right hand side of that pop up is a menu (looks like several horizontal lines) Click that and select legacy patterns and more. This should load in the canvas. You might have to close out and open back up PS after this.
