Hello everyone,

 

Maybe you can help me?

I am looking for a way to get pattern fills back into individual data.

My idea would be a script that outputs the size of the individual tile of the pattern fill and adjusts the document size on this basis. now you would only have to rasterize and have the individual tile of the pattern fill? What is the best way to implement this? are there any other solutions? Many thanks in advance for your help 🙂

Why can't you use the .pat files? Apart from doing it manually, I have no idea.

But then I only have the patterns as pattern filling again. But I need the single file for editing and the single repetition for the print shop. And a script would help me save time.

Thanks anyway, I hope someone can still help me to read out the size of the pattern tile via extendscript, the rest I would build myself, if it is even possible to get these values via script? 🙏


Search the internet, the following isn't a Photoshop script:

Perhaps ChatGPT can write you a Python script that actually works...

I need these values from the current pattern fill to bring the workspace to this size and then to rasterise and save the pattern fill in the smallest repetition.
