In Photoshop, select the pixels that you want to use as your pattern.
In the Edit menu, choose Define pattern... and you now have a pattern.


When you select your paintbucket (g shortcut), you can now choose a pattern and your pattern will be selectable in the tool options.








Patterns are awesome because if you create "seamless" patterns, you can paint large swaths of texture in an image. Useful for repeating backgrounds or just texturing. To make it "seamless", the easiest way is to use Filter -> Other -> Offset with wrap-around edge pixels. This will show you how the edges of your texture look when it tiles on a canvas.
