Before you say anythingthing, I did read this question (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/cs6-offset-filter-not-working-as-expe...). I made sure there are no transparent pixels. I used the selection tool to make doubly sure. The patern is still not seamless however. A portion of it is missing. In the screen shots below, the first is the original file which is 2400 x 2400 pixels. I used a 1200 pixel offset. The second screen shot is the resulting pattern. I've used this tool for years with no problems. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am running Windows 10 Pro on a Studio Surface. Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

First off all: Why didn’t you apply the Filter as a Smart Filter?
Can you provide the File with the unfiltered Layer?

Would the filter function differently as a smart filter? In other words, is the answer that I should always use this filter as a smart filter?
I have attached a file of the layer without the filter. I hope I correctly interpreted what you were asking for. Thank you for your help. It is very appreciated.

The Filter would not work differently.
But in my opinion you should, if possible, apply Smart Filters, because that way you can easily verify the settings or change them without undue damage to the image later on.
Thanks for the file, the Offset with 1200px seems to work fine here:

Alas it does not work for me. I can not fathom what is wrong. Thanks very much for your efforts though.

Please apply the filter as a Smart Filter and then check the Smart Object – is it actually just the relevant parts and is it smaller than the containing image’s pixel dimensions.
Why do you apply the Filter anyway?
If the illustration is in the center there should be no problems with seams and even if not View > Pattern Preview might be useful.
