make seamless

Suggest add a simple one button click to convert a selected image into a seamless image/texture. Probably can use existing but add some AI to finish the cleanup to produce a fast easy final result.

    As an aside, Adobe Sampler has the tools (including AI driven tools) to make seamless patterns and full materials from 2D images.

      Save the code as a txt-file, change the extension to .jsx and copy it into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-Folder; after restarting Photoshop it should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Shortcut or used in an Action.

        I copied the text and see it would be a script not a .atn.

        What is best way to create a Ps script using the copied text strings?

        How about those screenshots? 

         

        If you usually work at 1024x1024 you could (as a work-around) create an Action or a Script to create a Selection along the offset-borders (with »pointy ends« at the Canvas edges) and apply Generative Fill.

        typical 1024 x 1024

        sometimes smaller like 256 x 256, occasionally 2x bigger

        depends on use and image size

        Usually as paper or texture for painting or fill object

        Sometimes for 3D

        Both color and/or grayscale

        Usually RGB 8 bit but often 16 bit if being adjusted/modified

        Illustrator can create seamless stuff well, but not easily convert bitmaps.
