P: Mirror Paint/Symmetric/Seamless Tile Paint Function

Its a shame my idea got merged into here, but we all seem to be wanting the same thing.

I hope people see this!

I would like to suggest that there be a tile editor mode:

In this mode, the canvas still has fixed size, but the image infinitely wraps. The view shows the canvas in the center, but also shows copies placed on each side of the canvas, and on each side of those images, etc. until the image leaves the screen.

When zoomed in, it is possible that the wrap would not be visible. Yet when zoomed in at the edges, a certain percent of the surrounding tiles should be visible rather than only allowing the editor to pan to the corner.

When editing takes place outside of the canvas, the result is modification in the corresponding spot on the canvas. For example, a brush that lays over an intersection of the tiles would edit each of the corners. Also layer styles won't end at the edge of the canvas, they would continue as if the image was tiled on every side of the canvas.

Here is an example drawing space depicting my suggestion. The blue rectangle represents the canvas bounds and the pencil is the currently active tool.

Hello!

I have an idea for a feature for Photoshop.

Photoshop is the goto program for creating Computer game textures.
One thing that done daily is creating tillable textures,

This often means flipping back and forth with the offset filter,
sorting out the seam with the clone stamp, copying bits of the image about and painting sections.

This back and forth is quite time consuming but its something we all have to deal with.

The idea is having an option to make a layer repeat over the edges of the document, so when you paint / draw something over the edge on that layer, it would appear on the other side too.

You could also move layers over the edge and they'd duplicate over the other side for when you copy parts of an images about.

Heres a mock-up of the idea, You can see the edgeless button at the top of the layers panel. the reason i've suggested it just being something that works on a per layer basis is to not crash Photoshop with heavy documents.



Lots of games company's have licenses for Photoshop and this is something that could save them lot of hours!

Its an idea I posted over at Polycount and straight away people wanted it, the demand is there its just getting the idea out to people.

Here's another picture of it when you make the base brick layer edgeless, this is where you could be cloning and sorting seams, i posted the other picture as this ones a bit hard on the eyes.

Right. That means PS still doesn't have that funtionality after all these years. Same with a seamless time paint feature. People are still
Using the offset filter. Archaic. These are 2 very simple concepts that many users would be very happy to see. And say "finally!" 😉

Hello!
The closest thing to mirror paint is the following option in the clone source panel:
set the W: value to -100%
