P: Mirror Paint/Symmetric/Seamless Tile Paint Function

so, any awnser from the dev's?

is there any hope or possibility that this time we will see this added?

please don't make us have to rely on other programs capable of this until CS7 or later.

Hey guys, looks like we missed out on getting this feature. Its not in CS6.

only populist features like VIDEO EDITING!? Don't you already have 2 other programs to do that?

Why not split the effects in Photoshop off into a separate app, it can be like what after effects is to Premiere pro, a missing limb.

How do the dev's think about adding this great functionality:


a dragable guideline, which copies every stroke you do onto the other side, enabling the famous mirror-painting.


To further enhance this you could also use Kaleidoscope painting, where you can set how many segments should be mirrored.


Corel's Painter 12 features this, and it's amazing.


this video explains it pretty well:

Photoshop definitely needs this!

A function in photoshop so when you draw at one side it make geometry on other side to at the same time

"Photoshop could use a interactive Mirror Paint and Seamless edge/border painting function"

Quoted for agreement. The offset filter is well past it's sell by date.

Set a symmetry tool for photoshop real-time axial or radial symmetry
something like:
- clic symmetry tool to set parameters: activated? , axial or radial?, radial count number? , all layers or one layer ?
- press Alt + clic and drag to draw axis or just clic to draw center of radial symmetry on a layer or for all layers
- for radial symmetry: Set Radial Count ( number of times you want to mirror your stroke around radial center)
- Activate or not Symmetry axial or radial checkbox
- draw in realtime symetry 🙂

example -> zbrush symmetry tool(radial or not) tool 🙂 so powerful

Sorry, I'm new to this place. I didn't know I was limited to one idea per topic. All the other forums I go to usually let users request more than one thing in one topic. Thanks for the heads up, and the previous posts too.

Please post one idea per topic

I have a short list of feature requests. I'm not sure If Photoshop CS5 can do any of this yet, but maybe it could do similar tasks.

1. I would like a setting for Photoshop to make any brush, not only paint brushes, to mirror the painting to the opposite side for drawing symmetrical things like humans. For example, there could be options for mirroring any type of brush in the X axis, the Y axis, both X and Y, and a free rotation angle the user would set in a value. The mirror brush tool, in my opinion would be great for symmetrical drawings and abstract drawings too.

2. Another feature I would like is an automatic normal map maker for textures, like those sometimes used in 3d games. This automatic normal map tool could be implemented into the 3d menu of Photoshop Extended versions. I would like it if this tool could be used in Photoshop's 3d tools, and on 2d images too.

Thanks for your time.

Symmetry Painting with the Brush tool
A feature I loved back in the days in Deluxe Paint for the Amiga. It is available in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and would be a great addition to Photoshop.
